Probably my problem. I'll take care of it tomorrow in FB's honour. To which he would make some sardonic remark.

Indeed he would.

If I remember correctly...non premium members can use the avi...but it won't be animated.

In his honour I am using my HP laptop...using Windows 7 and not an iPhone or iPad.

You can save it as a static .gif and upload that. I considered upgrading to Premium membership (and still may), but on balance I think I'd prefer to send the $$ to the cancer charity in his memory, and adopt the static .gif for a while.

An end of year poll in his honour (in The Lounge forum)...as we have for Terry Pardoe and DollyLlama.

Re: Fatbrit

That's awful news. I had been thinking the other day that we hadn't heard from him for a while, then I started seeing the sheep avatars and found this thread.

I shall miss our exchanges, he was fun to debate with, even to disagree with. That he sent me some RAM to help me with a computer issue a while back, without asking for money is a testament to what a good bloke he was.

Very sad news, I will miss him a lot.

My condolences and best wishes to the family.

+1.

This brought tears to my eyes.

Fatbrit always teased me about my car (an Acura sedan), calling it a 'hairdressers car', and told me I must have a 4-wheel drive in Arizona. I just bought a new vehicle in January (a CR-V), and got the 'AWD' version. I remember thinking, "will Fatbrit approve? Probably not, he'll call this a hairdresser's 4-WD, not a real one".

He will live on in my memory for a long time.

Best wishes and condolences to the family.
