I just saw someone's avatar and came here. RIP MickeyD. Sad indeed.
i've been away and also unbelievably busy for the last few weeks - hardly been here at all.
seeing someone's avatar by chance, i assumed this to be some strange dark "friday thread" - but alas !!
for half an hour or so i sat here vacantly staring at the wall in front of me, folding and unfolding some arbitrary piece of paper in stunned silence.
it's well established that mcd helped countless people during thier perpetual battles with telkom.
however, what is unknown to anyone here is the fact that lawrence's assistance was integral to the saving of the life of a friend of mine.
without going into specifics, the location of this friend had to be established - there was no time to go through the formal process of obtaining the physical address of 2 phone numbers.
lawrence pulled a string or two - within 20 minutes i had the address, friend was located and life saved.
lawrence, every day tyrone now gets to spend with his son, is largely thanks to your kind assistance.
your favour can now never be paid back, but somehow, it will be paid forward in your memory.

if you have any contact with mac & the family, please pass this on with my deepest sympathies.
it is but only one small example of the selfless nature that personified mcd.
