    Default Special thanks to mad dog 62

    I know I have said this before but the people in this forum can be so kind with both there weath of information and also there kindness and generosity in many other ways

    As most I you know I have been in some what of a delemia now for several weeks trying to put together a regular or that I receive about this time each year for between 10 & 20 Australia Elegant beauties but this year I had been unable to buy them through the supplier. After ranting and raving on the forum about their unavailability
    Mad dog 62 (Tony) contacted me to say that he had 6 of them and as I had 3 I would been nearly able to fulfill the order I just had to add a standard Gold EB and hope that done the job but when I asked Tony how much I owed him and for his paypal or bank details his reply was nothing NOTHING ! I thought and his reasoning was one day I might need help from someone and I can only hope that there will be someone there that helps me. You don't have to be a genius to work out that the cost of that including the registered post pack comes to is a substantial amount and all this was from a person I don't even know. All this goes to show you how kind the member are on this forum and makes it a pleasure to be a member of.

    Obviously I will find a way to repay the kindness shown by Tony and hope that he likes Truestone as I plan to send him some of the Truestone I have been selling either before I go away to the gold coast or asap upon my return .

    so after all this THREE CHEERS FOR TONY



    You have no idea how much you helped me kind regards Ian

    I have not been on this forum for some time or even turned my lathe on due to lots of reason that do not matter.
    This is the first thread I have read and I'm very glad to hear that things have not changed.

    Well done Mad dog 62

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

    I recall a movie about pay it forward, someone does something for you and you do something nice for three other people. I am not sure of the title of the movie unless that's what it was called.

    remarkable, well done ausmaddog62, generosity is a wonderful thing, not trying to hijack the thread but we live in a small community that have helped and aided my girls in humbling ways, in fact this weekend coming the procedes from the hazelwood car and bike show will go towards helping my children
