All Gerry seems to do now is bore the younger members of the house who are not interested in what he has to say. It is almost as though they feel all he has to talk about is ancient Greek philosophy and there is nothing more to him? So all that is left for Gerry is the oldies and then he'll talk about the mundane stuff.
Gerry needs a side kick or love interest. I'd love to see him google eyed and tongue tied

He's such a lovely man and the only love he has in his life right now is a bear which smells of lube!
