Honestly, i take my eyes off this for a couple of days and Iris does something amazing (well, something else amazing) and we all start throwing tenners in. Great stuff one and all. P.S. I notice Iris wasn't worried by the deliberate wheel grabber doorstop in her way - she's got those extreme sports instincts already. Future olympian!

Really good looking and unique take on an evergreen classic bass - I'm amazed this is still here. Hopefully someone will ask thier significant other for a nice Xmas pressie.

That's a pair of fantastic bits of news. Glad to hear the money is now "real" and Brucey bonus on the front tap (stop sniggering at the back 🤣) should mean it goes further.

That's beautiful. Heartfelt but not treacly and really drives home the point that Iris, and your family, are people and not statistics. As you say, sometimes all you can do is make people confront their choices and be aware of how sh*tty they are being if they go with the self-interested option.

One for the kids, there!

🤯I'd never considered the visuals. That may be too much of a good thing

Higher than a 4.....a 5! Loving watching this go upwards. Brucie was a legend. One of the old school of proper entertainers. In the spirit of giving, I will share with you my guaranteed irritation-beater: Just imagine Brucie singing Natalie Imbrugliuliululia´s "Torn". Makes me smile every time.

It's exactly this, but more as well. I think this touches a lot of buttons for a lot of us: doing whatever we have to for our kids; the awfulness of being powerless against bureaucracy and the number of years and the heartbreak; the fact that Andy is a lovely bloke (and then the video, and then that lovely family picture); the dread of having to part with 'that' bass; the value of having a safe space of like-minded decency in what often seems like a total cesspit of the internet and the chance to help out someone in need within that space. I'm pretty new here but I've had nothing but good vibes, honesty and decency in transactions and a real supportive environment. It's a fantastic place so it's wonderful, but not surprising, watching this unfold. Iris is lucky to have such a dedicated and loving family and now she seems to have got a lovely extended BC family (whether she wants it or not 😁).

We're gonna need a bigger deer! 😁

All round wonderful. It made my wife and I go a bit dewy-eyed in the checkout queue at Costco when I told her about it and we've just seen the Iris video and gone full weepy. Chances to reference Vivian Stanshall should never be missed so I'll say that this has backed up Aunt Florrie's credenda that musicians are nice people.

Great minds or fools?

In the spirit of this thread, can we give him some of our responses? 🤣
