Martina is infact our very own @Rich69. Mark is the kind selfless soul who donated our Mr Gold. He enabled us to reach the magical target of £4800. Read that again. £4800.

Mark also generously bought a large number of tickets. The only prize he really wanted was the big Sopwith. Its gone already. I'll throw in another.

You're right, edited as such. Now it is truly complete (I think).

MinifigsMe

Definitely fairies...

Woooo!!! Thanks @rich69 that's massively generous of you!! :-D

I think the final picture bares a passing resemblance to Mark... though clearly he's a Lego-fairy-godfather and needed Kev's wings!

BOBJACK_JACKBOB

Three cheers for @Rich69!

Truly inspiring!

Have you guys ever noticed that whenever Martina is in the room, @Rich69 is nowhere to be seen?

Congrats to everyone who won and thanks again @kevbags for the entertainment.

legoprods

What a pair of delightful nights I've had here! Off to sleep now.

Strong virtual hug to @Kevbags and @Rich69 for making it possible, and to all the other members who chimed in to keep everyone entertaining while Kev drank his tea.

Now go build your speedorz if you are not going to sleep! :-)

BOBJACK_JACKBOB

Legoboy/flump - are you happy now? You've only gone and bumped tea off CapnRex's list!

CapnRex101

@BOBJACK_JACKBOB - I give up ;) I am not spending another night on this keyboard...

This has been said over and over and over and over again but.... this is why I joined brickset back last year.

I know this has been a community effort and along the way we have raised a considerable amount for the hospitals to help the sick children recover. I feel without Mr Gold we may not have raised half as much as we have. Thanks very much for your generosity Sir @Rich69 aka Dame Martina and you too Sir @kevbags, for not only allowing rule breaking, but organising and thinking of such a cool idea to raise money to help sick children and help them recover.

Everyone who joined in will probably agree that we strengthened the community spirit and made it feel like a family effort and that we are all here enjoying building the futures of others and occasionally building with little pieces of plastic ourselves.

Well done everyone who had some fun and joined in :)

Hooray to everyone and everything about this whole thing! What a jolly!

Are we heading to the Predictions thread now? There's a whole load of bollocks I didn't tell you about yet (

BOBJACK_JACKBOB

Yeah, I've had a blast. Thanks to everyone involved, esp Kev and Rich.

The amount raised was more than anyone expected, so well done all.

LostInTranslation

@indigobox: fully agree, with one small corrigendum: I think you meant to say Sir Kevbags?

Edit: some quick-fingered editing there! Kudos ;-)

coachie

@rich69 you've made us all richer tonight. Night all.

LostInTranslation

Time to head up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire ... night-night, raffle-gang.

MinifigsMe

Night night all. And well done everyone! :)

ColoradoBricks

Thanks to all involved to make this a success and congrats to all the winners.

Go and do your monkey business on the Members-Only thread. That one is sending me bananas.

(Boom-boom).

MinifigsMe

On the subject of gifs (or jifs) - it's even in today's news! they're all the rage!

Proposal for next raffle; now Kevbags is a Sir too, he can have his own search for his next Apprentice. Do you have what it takes to be a hairy fairyette? Can you make tea and put out wheelie bins?

I'm afraid it was me that started the whole monkey thing there. Forgive me, oh great Kev, I knew not what I did.

@MinifigsMe I thought it was an amusing story. I read it earlier and thought who cares how you say it.

Just for the record I prefer pngs :))

SirKevbags

Thanks for sticking with this tonight folks. I think I was bit quicker though

Legoboy

Kevin, you were wonderful tonight. ;-)

indigobox

You did a marvellous job Sir @kevbags :)

SirKevbags

Kevin? Bloody hell ;-)

MinifigsMe

For those that don't like gifs...how Martina became Mark:

SirKevbags

@MinifigsMe thanks for making the gif at rediculously short notice and the hand holding afterwards. I'm sorry if I disturbed your tea but I hope Nick arrived on time. I did tell him 15 minutes :-)

caperberry

You're more than welcome. It was Jo and Hotrod over for dinner, so I explained stuff, they understood the wait for food!

SirKevbags

I need to get to bed. This raffle is knocking the hell out of me!

Predictive text. No joke.

Suits you though. ;-)

As requested, I've knighted sirkevbags and sirrich69. Hopefully they realize what I did and it doesn't cause too much trouble for them logging in.
