Re: Hovis - My Memory and Yours
I remember it well, I was a bit worried about meeting him to. I thought it was all gonna kick off or he'd give me a right ear bending. Suffice to say, he and not for the first time completely surprised me... funnily enough the ear bendings about the forum got worse the better I got to know him....

Re: Hovis - My Memory and Yours
By a strange quirk of fate, this morning on my way into the office the first truck I passed as I peeled onto the bypass 100 yards from my house, was a Hovis lorry.

Re: Hovis - My Memory and Yours
Have just found this pic, brought a smile to my face, taken at the peaks rideout a few week back. Hovis had managed to sneak some black pudding away from the breakfast table that morning, typical!

Re: Hovis - My Memory and Yours
I'll second that, he certainly was. But he had a certain 'style'.
Best quote on the leather thread was by SV1000s ''I hate to break it to you mate but I don't think your helmet fits your head!!!'' Last edited by the white rabbit; 06-10-09 at 08:00 PM. |

Re: Hovis - My Memory and Yours
How I beleive Hovis saw Friendship. (or at least how he was a friend to me) 1. When you are sad -- I will help you get ****ed and plot revenge against the ******* who made you sad. 2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you. 3. When you smile -- I will know you are thinking of something that I would probably want to be involved in. 4. When you are scared -- I will take the **** out of you every chance I get until you're NOT. 5. When you are worried -- I will tell you stories about how much worse it could be until YOU STOP WHINING! 6. When you are confused -- I will try to use only little words. 7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have. 8. When you fall, I will laugh at you, you clumsy ****, but I'll help you up. 9. This is my oath....... I pledge it to the end. 'Why?' you may ask; Because you are my friend. Friendship is like ****ing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.. |

Re: Hovis - My Memory and Yours
One of my many memories. The man bought some boots, very erm, interesting boots, a while before the AR07 as he was going to wear them to it. He couldn't fit in them, so I bought them off him. They are in my garage, and every time I tried to sell them, they never sold. Suffice to say, they will not leave my possession now. I will find a picture of them.
