Those of us who travelled on the National Express coach from Cardiff to London had the unique... pleasure of being treated to a non-stop four hour monologe from Dave the Coach Driver. Dave talked, for serious, non stop all the way there. Dave is not possesed of a particularily engaging voice - I'd describe it as something of a drone. Dave is either a chronic liar, completley insane, or some kind of super-hero. These are just a few highlights from The Legends Of Dave, reconstructed in a bar in London, from our collective memories of the ordeal.

So gather round, children, and hear the Saga of Dave!

*He knew a man who owned a rottweiler that bit everyone, so he bit its ear until it bled. The dog respected him after that.

*Using knots he had learned in the navy, he tied up an escapologist so securely that he was unable to escape. The curtain was dropped and the show was cancelled.

*The greatest compliment he ever received was when a black vicar crossed the road and called him "brother".

*"I always say, cry at a wedding, laugh at a funeral. A dead persons problems are over, and a newlyweds are just beginning!"

*He crashed his motor bike and shattered both of his legs. A West Indian man pulled him from the fiery debris and told him "You shall never walk again!". He reformed the bones in his legs through sheer willpower, and was walking without a stick inside a year.

*A black Labrador followed him around after he stole it while drunk. It was covered in acid burns, and he stole it from a security guard. He would hide in pub cellars to try and get away from the dog, but it would still find him. A police man saw him stealing the hound, but approved, and gave him his blessing.

*He grew up in Cardiff Bay. It was a multi-cultural area, and he mingled freely with all creeds and colours.

*He claims to be completely non prejudiced, despite his casual use of racist slurs.

*People at the pub would get his dog drunk. (Possibly the black Labrador, possibly some other dog. Probably not the rotty, though, that wasn't his) Once the dog was giver whiskey, and acted although it had had a stroke. The dog was taken to the vet, who informed him that the dog had a hangover.

*He has studied all the worlds' religions, and combined their best points, forming a religion of his own.


If anyone who was on the coach can remember any more of Daves tales, post them, please do.

Dave the Driver also gave these sage words of wisdom:

*"In life you've only got two friends: your mother and the pound in your pocket. Once your mother's gone, you've lost your best friend in the world.  After that, all you've got is the pound, and everyone's trying to take it away from you."

[Fuzzpilz]

IIRC Dave's wife knew of the labrador's ability to find him and used it often.

The bus arrived about 45 minutes late; Dave apologized to the passengers, citing elevated security and whatnot after the botched bombings a few days earlier, and pointed out that at least we all got there in one piece, with our brains inside our heads.
