RIP Shaky

RIP Shaky

Absolutely true Henry.

Sometimes we forget that behind every username is a real person - it may be 'virtual' but this is a real community and it's an incredible tribute to Shaky that so many people, most of whom never met him, are feeling genuine sadness right now.

I was in the middle of one my rows with Voldemort when this awful news appeared, somehow now seems so futile.

I have been trying to reply to this for the last twenty minutes, deleting several replies before rewriting to try and type something fitting.

Myself and Dave have chatted in private for years. His humour, honesty and downright stubbornness on here have made him a complete legend on this site. In the past I know I have overstepped the mark several times with posters, and he put me straight a few times, always in a direct and honest way.

I had a common bond with Shaky on the news section, so much so that we were given delightful nicknames......I would have chosen batman and robin, unfortunately Scooby and Scrappy were the choice of others. There will certainly be less banter with his demise.

I am stunned, shocked and devastated. I am sat here in no way ashamed to say I am heartbroken typing this.

Good night, God bless my friend

All my love

Scrappy

Fantastic tribute post.
 
Kind of puts things into perspective. Only knew him from his postings and ramblings on here but I will miss the self appointed leader of the grammar police. Perhaps we need a Shaky spell checker.

A proper character.

RIP

Great post mate, very nicely put. We had some brilliant running battles in that forum didn't we? Would often be the highlight of my working day. Spent many, many an hour debating in there when I should have been working.
 
Like many on here I didn't know Shaky personally. When you have read so many posts over the years though, it feels like you know him. He must have been something special to prompt so many "old faces" to return and post their thoughts.

My prayers and thoughts go out to him and his family and friends..............good night and God Bless.

I have never spoken to anyone who was as close to my views on so many issues......

Struggling with what to say,

Gutted.

News and current will never be the same.
 
Its lovely and quite moving to see some of the tributes being written about a man that clearly not everybody knew on a personal level, myself included in that group, but still everybody respected a hell of a lot. Its also nice to see people who may have had one or two differences with the guy in the past, put them aside and show their respects. R.I.P big man, sleep tight x
 
Like many have said on here even though I never knew Shaky I felt as though I knew him. He loved his hounds didn't he? He only posted on here a few days ago.

What a damned shame you never saw the Promised Land delivered. Now puts everything into perspective. Who gives a damn who we appoint. One of our brothers has fallen.

RIP fellow North Ender.

Shaky PM'd me a few times when we had our 'set to' urging me to make peace as, in his words you were a 'Good lad'.

I never belived him!

I can't belive how much it feels like I've lost a friend even though I'd never meet him.

This palce won't be the same.
