From Dave There’s not a lot to say that has not been said but I felt the need to say something. We started mixing just after Pauline started going out with Chris, you could say we hit it off from the word go so much so that we became a large part of each others life’s. We started before he got married to Pauline and never looked back, only to laugh at what we had done. We went to pubs and found it hard because we kept getting barred from them. So we had to travel to get a drink then the 4 of us started on the clubs, me, Chris, duck, chicken. People had a problem with the duck and chicken so we was barred from a lot of clubs as well we even called the RSPCA once as people kept standing on our friends . Then things changed a little Chris got married and along came the children to that point we would think nothing of spending all night in a pub or club and even Pauline refused to go out with us after the first time (still don’t know why ) . But when Tracy was born we were close to even getting barred from the hospital because we had a pint or two. There’s a whole lot more I could say it would fill a book a brief rundown is that we drank laughed, cried, worked, even got into fights ,nicked ,you could say he was more like a brother than a friend at this point all I can say to my mate is . “Chris you go on ahead but you walk slow because someday when you turn round I will be there running to catch you “ With respect and love DAVE
