Hovis - My Memory and Yours

Hovis getting shouted at by women at invasion of the valleys as he tried mounting a childs toy ride outside the pub..... and us decorating his bike with Carling cans and boxes in the morning before he got out of his tent !

- Our first trackday at llandow 2007 and the first trip to the nurburgring
- Hovis getting told off by a random woman for riding on a kids amusement ride at invasion of the valleys campsite
- At fartfest, I suggested that everyone should strip off to their underwear to do a dance we came up with. Everyone though this was a bad idea minus hovis.
- Getting lost in the car park in one taffia meet.
- Riding with a yellow mcdonald's happy meal baloon I tied to boris last rideout.
- Many more

Hovis deliberately stands right next to the table, just where Quiff wanted to be to take a shot. The conversation went like this:-

Hovis - Am I in your way?

Quiff - Yeah, you are mate.

Hovis - faaaarkin unluckeeee - then turned his back on Quiff and carried on drinking.

Don't often see Quiff completely lost for words, I nearly ****ed myself.

THAT is my abiding memory of the funny little welsh bread boy..

doesnt seem right we only saw him last weekend.. he was saying what a diamond gruntygiggles was for writing him a letter to get every other Sunday off work.. now has every Sunday off bless him..

I have many but a few that stick,

Hovis break dancing.

And our little saying only we seem to get,

"Are you dancin'?"
"Are you asking?"
"I'm asking!"
"Then i'm dancin'!"

The first time i met you and all you did was take the pi$$ that i was a pillion......the way that you picked my bike up off me when i came off and asked why the f*** had i done that and that drew was going to kill you!..... When we have gone on nights out and after to much you licked my neck.....when we all went to the waterpark in stoke.... our random PM's daily of just a smily conversation.....your dancing at the wedding...

I could go on and i'm sure I'll think of more

Go on have a look awsome.

thank you for jogging my memory of that, it was truly funny.

the one that came straight to my mind was at AR09 on one of the drunken nights, watching him trying to bounce on the trampoline while very drunk and there then being a mass bundle and the subsequent fallout. being moans, groans and much laughter!

I think these sum Hovis up well. Unfortunately I wasn't there but everything he seemed to do was amazingly funny!

This and the AR08 rocking horse will always be my favourite memories of him too, I physically ached the next day from laughing so much! The rideouts won't be the same without him around, he just loved to have a good time and you couldn't help but have a laugh with him.

He slept in the bunk below me at the Peaks ride-out a month ago.

He didn't snore, but every 1/2 hour as he turned over in his sleep you'd think someone had just planted their boot up a pigs anus at high speed, then he'd let out a few contented snorts and settle back off to sleep for another half hour.
