Default Madge

I don't know how familiar you are with Dame Edna and her assistant Madge.
Today was Madge's 100th birthday and she died.




YouTube - Madge Allsop from the Dame Edna TV shows is 100 today!

Funny as All Get Out, Anne. It's hard to believe the old girl passed on. I liked her jewellery though, I wonder where she used to go swimming??

Cheers,

BDA
