It’s mind bending

Just - we love you all. 
 

Thank you.

I'm convinced ...  No, I'm certain that more BC'ers would wish to contribute, and for that, the fundraiser needs to continue if possible and reasonable.

As said by others, 2.3K quid is only the beginning, and also:
among us are people who have no money now, but will have soon.

True, for some people, pay day is the last day of the month... #justsayin

Who is this Andy chap? Has he been on here long? 😉

 

Best of luck, hope things get sorted for you soon wherever the help comes from. But in the meantime it’s great that the BC community has helped out so generously!

A little late to the thread but I've chipped in.

 

You realise @AndyTravis that you can now never sell or part with that bass? Future archeologists will be wondering why, in the 21st Century, a man was burried with a Gibson Ripper, and concluding correctly he that must have been a man of great stature in his community.

Yeah - I’m starting to see this…we’ll see how the work goes; I’ve just read through the emails with the guy again - the whole thing stinks…

 

Once we started poking back, no “Andy/Jenny” it’s all “mr and mrs Travis”

 

we said we wanted the OT’s back out to discuss what we can get support with 2 weeks ago…he hasn’t made that call.

 

He’ll be on a fair wedge too id guess.

But you know who is shouting down for bedtime stories 😂

I joined Basschat the day Ella was born…she’s now a bass player too! (Between Jen and I, obviously)

 

She’s now nearly as big as me 😂

 

Bluddy teenagers 🙄🤣

 

@OliverBlackman I can’t react anymore today (see above) so have a 😂😂 and a 😉

I'm sure we have seen our fair share of toxic behaviour on the internet, and sometimes it can feel like there's very few places left to hide from that. It's  genuinely great to see strangers come together and make a difference to one of the members going through a difficult time.

 

Hopefully it makes a difference for you and your family, Andy.

[dirbs]

Done. Good luck mate!

[AndyTravis]

I’ll have to do all my reactions tomorrow.

 

I’ve been on to Charles - Clarky, you’re going to be “Sir Clarky” from now on in.

 

I emailed the pope about sainthood - he says if I bung him a tenner and some profiteroles he’ll get it sorted.

You utter, utter barstewards, the lot of you.

 

I have been bawling like a bluddy gurl all the way through this thread.

 

What’s that telly show where they do DIY stuff for folk? With that Nick Knowles. Somebody drop them an email, this sounds right up their street….

I need to go blow my nose now.

 

Hayfever, that’s what it is. Hayfever.

Do you know - we messaged them, my mother in law suggested it…it was a few years ago now…

 

Never heard anything back; they mustn’t have been interested in it.

Lord Mark of Clark to you, mate!😂

 

I am in Argentina at present, and the Pope is apparently from these parts. If you push and I pull Sainthood is a possibility.  😇

Might be worth trying them again? Telly bods love a back story and the delays, broken promises and such like are all the right kind of stuff to make good telly…

 

Surely we have some folk on here with contacts?
