Chipped in and also added to on behalf of our mutual friend MB1.

I have no doubt he would have chipped in too..............

 

Is Martin no longer with us Bagsie? 😕

Tragically he passed in 2021. 

Ahhh no, I had no idea 😞

A BC legend, RIP 🙏 I met him a couple of times around 2010 after guesting him into a couple of my gigs but kind of lost touch with him. Great bloke.

 

Over 3 grand now!! Superb 👌

He was Iris’ mate when she was at RMCH for the first 3 months. 
 

He kept me going

 

”GOT ANY FENDERS?!”

 

as he walked through our ward 😂

You're younger than I thought. Oh, wait. You're the one *with* the beard?

 

 

Seriously though, sorry to hear that promises have been broken (as I read it). Hopefully our small contribution goes some way to restoring your faith in humanity.

I miss MB1 . Never met him as such but we did have a couple of chats here and there .  loved his dry humour on BC . 

Yes, my feelings too. He was a mod who helped me out once or twice. BC since 2007, a part of my life! 
Now let’s carry on fundraising…

Martin (MB1 😎) was a porter at RMCH.

 

When her first operation didn’t go to

plan (her VP Shunt failed) she had to go back in for further brain surgery.

 

Martin turned up “I’ll be your driver today Ma’am” - he stayed on shift to bring her back with us. It was something like 3 extra hours.

 

He was a bloody great bloke.

 

We had some laughs me and him.

 

I used to work in a guitar shop in Manchester; he’d come up to me while I was soldering “you’ll need to not burn your fingers” etc.

 

always a text at 9.30am on a Saturday 

 

“MB1 😎 - just drove to Devon to buy (insert some exotic mad bass) - will drop it off for you to muck about with”

 

Anyhow @bagsieblue you properly got me with this today…
