I'm making a frame for Dave.....Now i've read Dave thirty odd times it's starting to sound strange in my head.

And funny enough, I was riding through the Wirral countryside near Parkgate yesterday and I saw this flash of blue coming towards me, it was none other than Dave Lloyd. You know when you've seen Dave Lloyd on a bike, he's always at 100%, always gritting his teeth, and never smiles or says hello

Dodgy: 'Dave Lloyd' IS a hard bastard - seriously - never met him but considering he's in his 50's and the miles he does...WOW !

He even rides his own classic and thats not easy in any way.

Actually, Dodgy, the fact that he snalled at you is reminding you he's a true roady and thats as good as your gonna get

Yenners, I feel honoured I see him fairly often actually, I only realised it was him when I got the same response every time and he now wears this really distinctive sky blue strip (goes with his coaching). But he does have a reputation for being nails.

Another time I was riding around the roundabout at Heswall/Gayton and a guy was coming from Heswall on the a540 towards me in yellow. "Here we go, another wannabe" I thought, but of course it was Chris Boardman, fresh(ish) from his Tour De France adventure when he did briefly wear the yellow. He waved, too, but I haven't seen him again since then.

my most recent friend is called Dave. He is a fine decorator. Dave the decorator. i have loads of other Dave acquaintances and friends. It seems to have been quite a popular name. It can be difficult though, knowing whether to call someone Dave or David, or conceivably - Davy. There may be a few regional variations as well. One of my earliest memories concerns a Dave.

I have a mate Dave who is crazy and threatened to run someone over.
I also have normal mate named Dave.

Dave lives next door to me.

I know a few Davids; I automatically shorten it to Dave.

In my first job out of an office of 11 there were 5 Dave's and 1 other chap called Jim who's nickname was Dave

 

[Dayvo]

I'm called Dave (amongst other things), and a lot of my mates are, too! I'm very selective!

 

[redcogs]

Dave seems to endure as well. my son (Dan), who is 9, knows some David's at his school..

It may be the most popular name of all time for a man. i also believe there have been biblical David's - the star of Dave is also something to note.

 

[redcogs]

i've yet to meet any Goliath's though.

 

[Amanda P]

I've just realised I've also got a mate known as Dav. Does that count?

Anyone remember Wavy Davy from Vic Reeves Big Night Out?
