Sorry to hear of Gerrys passing - I live local and dealt with him on multiple times and helped move some pieces on for him in recent times - lovely old boy with many a story to tell and always good for a bargain
RIP pal

Rest in eternal peace my old friend.
I missed his passing as I was in France fishing where Gerry and I spent quality time together over the years.
A great bloke and funny as fook.

RIP Gerry.
The forum will be a different place without your input.

such a shame, he saved everyone on this forum money at some point
Surely the bargains share the knowledge thread should be named after him now.

RIP Linkypoo and thank you for all your help over the years.
RIP Linkypoo and thank you for all your help over the years.
I spent some time last night creating the 'Linky Poo' code to help people put links into their posts.
If you are on a PC you will need to do Control-F5 to force a refresh of the cache (otherwise the old weblink code will still be used)
Once done, if you wanted to link to something you enter the web address
e.g.
http://www.ford.com
Then completely select the web address and hit the >> button to the left where it says Web Link.
This should then take your web address, make it into a link, and prefix the link with LINKY POO™
e.g.
LINKY POO™ http://www.ford.com
I need to do more work on it to neaten it up (and no doubt there will be exceptions where it doesn't work and I need to debug it).
I also need to put in a word or two about Gerry somewhere to remind us where the LINKY POO term came from

Love it. Linky Poo
Love it. Linky Poo
I've only just seen this, I don't tend to look at the top of the pages.
The Forum won't be the same without Gerry, a very sad loss. Hopefully he's by the side of a lake somewhere doing what he loved the most.

Hi All
God seems to be hoarding all the good ones at the moment...
Rip Gerry, I learnt a lot from you over the years

I just saw this, very sad news. He was a very active and helpful member for many, many years, legendary for his 'Linky Poos. ' He will be sadly missed by this forum for sure.
See you on the other side fella. x

The wife and I were just talking about our blow up tent that we bought from Gerry .
Whilst erecting the tent for the first time we found a crusty old pair of knickers in a side pocket .
I was never sure if they were worn by Gerry or one of his lady friends .
He never wanted them posted back,
One of a few purchases from Gerry .👍👍
