The things that will always make me smile on the 3rd of October

[Drew Carey]

PMSL....just remembered this one too.....

Stretchie, Cheryl, Saxo, Viper.....you all crack me up in this.

I only knew Hovis for about four months, but, in those four months I lost count of how many times I saw him. Went on quite a few rides with him and used to meet with Steve (Metal Angel) in Caerphilly for a few drinks every now and then.

Dave was a top bloke and is one in a million, missed every day.

Thank you for posting all the pictures and video's Drew, he always knew how to make people laugh.

I shall be having a drink tonight listening to some Metallica in his honour, especially "nothing else matters"

All I wanted was a sip of my drink FFS, lol.

In all honesty, every time, without exception that I think of him, I smile.

That has to be the best legacy anyone can leave on this earth. He makes us all happy from beyond the grave and that is a very special thing.


Hovie, more than anyone else I have ever known had the secret to a happy life. No matter what was thrown at him, he still got up everyday, found something fun to do and went out and gave it his all.

He had a short life, but my god he lived it!!!

Ha, you have no idea how hard it was to keep the camera still while filming that, cracks me up every time. Hope you're still having fun up there Hovis, you'll always be sorely missed down here

Lol I'll never forget Bear blowing a raspberry on bread boys plums at AR10. In he's classic voice " that was rather quite nice actually". Funny as

Banana man ....has any one got the vid of when he was yet again asleep and we stacked the beer mats on his head.
