Hi badronald / ridgecrisps :wave:, had a sex change have we?

*goes off to find the ban button*

Oh look! there it is.

badronald / ridgecrisps / ariana.....i.e. Mr Jonathan Northfield...don't register on our forum again.

Just to make it clear to everyone. ariana is a previous member who has already had TWO usernames banned due to dodgy trading practises, and deceiving money out of members.
I have little doubt that any of what he/she says about this condition and their knowledge of it is true.

a card for smile, with nothing more asked for other than a stamp and 10 minutes of our time ............


seems like the best deal I've seen this year. card being sent tomorrow
 
I havent read the whole thread, as quite honestly, I am knackered and I am off to bed, but I promise I will read up in the morning and get something in the post :):)
 
:shrug:Right .........all simmer down please

I have asked Man UTD for a favour and waiting for an answer ...I have edited this post because I feel my own words were inapropriate to Grockle and Ann Marie
 
Count me in,(y)

Dangermouse...

It is my son who has been brought to your attention today...:)

If you would check posts #62 and #66 they should answer some questions I hope... Please, don't hesitate to ask myself or Grockle (as the thread initator) if you have any other questions as I fully understand anyone being a tad nervous or having some concerns...

FWIW... Sir Alex Ferguson (? Sp) did kindly send a letter to my lad wishing him well a few months ago after being approached by Ty Hafan Children's Hospice in Wales... He sent a pair of Ryan Giggs' training socks too... Which were (unbelievably to my mind! :D) shoved straight on my son's feet...
 
I have asked MAN UTD direct through the back door to give Chris a surprise I hope it pays off and he gets one (I have not got the return email yet) and will send it gladly to whoever without question
 

Fair one ! still love TP , and as I sent to you , I will Honour the trades! thank you
 
I have only just seen this. Read it all too. Card will be sorted this morning.

I have never been through anything like this, so I can't begin to imagine what you are going through.

But you should know that the "cards from strangers" thing has gone badly wrong in the past. A lad by the name of Craig Shergold did it in 1989. Everyone who heard about it told their friends and the story spread like wildfire. A year later, they had 19 million cards and were desperately trying to stop it but were powerless to do so. After two years, they had 35 million.

According to a Guinness announcement they were still getting 1000 a day in 2004.

You can read about Craig here:

Best wishes,

Thank you for your concern Andrew and I do understand what you are saying... I'd never heard of Craig Shergold or his attempt to make it into the Guiness Book of Records...

The original intent was to see if a few of the members on another forum I help to run would mind sending a few extra cards to put a smile on his face and kinda 'extend' his birthday period as it most definitely will be his last... People's generosity have helped the idea grow in a way I didn't possibly imagine...

I'm truly touched by the way people unknown to us have taken our situation to their heart and wanted to help out too... In a world of continuously awful news being reported it is lovely to see the real kindness of people in action... It reinforces the belief that really, we are a good species...:)

I think Chris' story has touched more people than his young soul could ever comprehend... So he'll leave something a little special with very many people even if they 'forget' about it in time in amongst their busy lives and the difficulty of every day living... Being a part of that is very humbling and I am truly grateful that 'strangers' have been so generous...

Although I do think I might just run out of space on the mantlepiece...:LOL:

My very best wishes to everyone on this forum and I hope you all have a lovely Christmas xxx

I have written again to Man U hoping they will send Chris a little something special and left the details so they can either contact myself, TP forum, or his mum Ann Marie
 
Pontys not that far from me (25-30miles maybe) I have done weddings there. I can't think of anything worse than loosing a child, it's probably the thing most parents dread, I'll pop a card in the post for the young lad. Wayne
 
I have just spotted Berts post, and while I don't argree with his comments I do respect his right to post them, a forum is just that a place for discusion (good or bad) lets not make this personal and end up loosing members. Wayne

Quite agree but in this case I think silence is the better option if someone has something to say thats going to cause upset ..but yes you are right and everyone has a voice so really its up to the individual if they want to say something nice or not
