We cancelled our original party because it clashed with Dave’s 40th. “We can have a party anytime” said I, “but Dave will only be forty once in this incarnation. Dave was rather disappointed at this and promptly decided to arrange another party at our new meeting place (Spiders Web, Grimsby). It seemed only fair that it should be Dave’s party as well, so to break the ice, everyone was Dave.

Upon arrival everyone got a sticker (nice one Leah for writing them out) with ‘Hello I am Dave’ it. The real Dave’s received a large sticker with various statements from ‘I really am Dave’ to ‘I am actually Dave’. Later I spotted one with ‘I am Dave and so is my wife’ on it. Mind you the band were a tad confused so to speak when they arrived and made the mistake of asking which one was Dave.

Quite a prolific chap is Dave, he got engaged the other week, met a new girlfriend, bought a new bike, lost his hamster, got sacked, laid off and then procured a new job. He had to get a lift to the party, came on his own, came along with Dave, stopped smoking, started again and to top it all off he won everything in the raffle. Not only that but Dave travelled from near and far. There were Dave’s from the garden town of Scunthorpe, Dave (without the big head) from Slough, Dave came from Mablethorpe (with Dave). It was also lovely to see Dave, Dave some other blokes called Dave from Boston. Not to mention Dave along with her mate Dave from Jackson Bridge (JB). Dave (from JB) very kindly agreed to Draw the raffle.

Thanks to Dave behind the bar and Dave helping her for a great night. Big thanks to Dave for turning up and sorry you couldn’t make it Dave.

Goodnight
