RIP Shaky
Perhaps those little circles awarded each year for various things on this forum can now be called 'Shakys' ( a bit like Oscars are for best films etc)
I haven't been on here in a while, but just reading this thread tonight certainly brought back some memories. What a great suggestion to rename the Lizard Lounge in his honour....mods, please do this.
I looked up some of his very last posts, and was soon laughing out loud - he was clearly at the top of his game right up until the end.
As grammar policeman....''I'm sorry I don't speak moron, can you please translate this nonsense into English?''
On the moderators....''Mossy is the best mod we've ever had. The others are pretty good as well, apart from them being ripped to the tits on drugs most of the time.''
On Billy Davies....''As for being a cunt, I don't think Davies is in my league.''
On the PDC World Championships....''Darts is for dossers''
On fishing.... ''there are only two things smell of fish, and one of them is fish.''
My own favourite Shaky exchange?
Shaky (discussing the late Brittany Murphy) : I only saw her in that honeymoon film, it was fucking torture. I sat through it thinking the missus was enjoying it, but even she said it was fucking dogwank at the end.
Me :Shaky, be honest, did your missus really say '' ....that film was fucking dogwank''?
Shaky :She's been married to me for twenty years, what do you think?
I never met him in 'real life' but I wish I had.
Sincere condolences all to his family and friends.
P.S. Can someone please tell us the story of why he got the nickname 'Shaky'?

He also loved taking threads off-topic, hence that's where the other debate has gone

Shaky ...
I know I didn't know Shaky as much as some of you on here but I am so glad I did have the pleasure of meeting him and being in his company for a while....I also wished I'd made more of an effort to meet up for drinks before the match...many a time he would say come and have a drink with me and Katie et al 🙂 But I didn't 🙁

Did I really type that licking road kill was a good game for kids?????
I'm embarrased with what I wrote on the Paris Hilton thread...we don't half write some shite on here sometimes don't we lol?...Funny how we feel and think differently at different stages in our lives. 🙂
Then again we would both have probably posted the same today 🙂
I have already posted on the AVFTT thread but would just like tosay that one of the reasons for my visits on here was to read Shaky's contributions. As said previously nobody could agree with all his points but the thing that was consistent was his wit and 'interesting' turns of phrases.
From the posts of those who knew him in 'real' life he was obviously a larger than life character but also a generous and loyal friend.
RIP Shaky - not a bad one for a Nobber.
