    Thanks QoC for the thread in lovely mad's honour :T:T


    Back in June I mentioned that I'd had a dream that nannylala and I played the quiz and I won...this is what he posted :T

    He cracked me up :D

    I think that we all had a 'Fred' memory, feel privileged to have done so' :A
  • Just saw the sad news. I often saw Mads many posts but didn't know he was ill. Funny what this site does, you don't know people, but can miss them when they're gone.
    Sad faces all round :(

    Hi QOC
    How can I donate to mad s funeral flowers. I think he would be really touched the way the thread has pulled together. It has been a very humbling day. Lovely to see lots of old faces posting tonight too. What a lovely tribute to a special man

    If you send me a PM, I'll send you the details :)











    PayPal is the easiest way. It's not exclusive though, I do take cheques too ;)

    I'm off to bed now, good night folks :)

    Sorry I missed the 9 oclock toast. I have my 22p Fanta on my desk from blockbuster. :beer:

    I was thinking back to when Mad brought his song out. It was wonderful to see everyone chipping in and of course everyone saying how much did we have to donate to make it go away. He was overwhelmed.

    I cant imagine how much this would have touched him tonight.

    Its wonderful to see everyone out in force.

    This is why I keep coming round

    :T:T:T

    Dear Elite, just logged in quickly to say hello and saw this sad news. Mad embodied the heart and soul of this thread, and it will be the poorer for his loss. I regularly remember with a chuckle his post about being discovered flat on his stomach, I think possibly half way in a bush, after a particularly stubborn receipt, and having to fend off enquiries as to his wellbeing :rotfl:.

    Posted with a tear in my eye. RIP Mad. xx

    Wombling free tonight. x
    Hope is not a strategy.

    Where is Tinyshoes?

    I couldnt find that darn coat for love nor money. Only black. SA in shop was a pain in the butt and said it didnt come in Khaki. I did a bit of customer service and product knowledge training.

    Polite but firm, of course. Sorry TS. Maybe you have had better luck.

    Thanks for looking Wool, Guildford were very helpful to DD1 they did not stock the range at all but rang around 4 other localish stores but none there either.

    We eventually got to Bournemouth today after a delayed start. :o

    Still no luck, DD3 likes the £95 one from top shop but even she thinks that is too expensive, but good news popped into Mr Ts on the way home for bread and she found one very similar to the H & M one so I'm off to hunt it in her size tomorrow. :)

    Good job I have not doubled up all my CC vouchers for Finest Wine. :rotfl:
