[Closed] Does everyone have a mate called Dave?

my barber is called Dave
But for ages I kept calling him Steve as he looked like my old best mate from school called Steve.

My BIL is called Dave but he lives in Essex.

Yes, but he’s an arse and lives in the Chilterns and is married to Sam... when we meet up next I’m going to poke him in the eye.

Sadly no longer, my Best Mate’s Dad was a ‘Dave’.

My FIL is a ‘Dave’ but his real name is Royston.

I have ridden [s]races[/s] events named Daves mate on my number

I've a mate called Dave.

Grew up with a lad called Dave as well till he moved away.

Was mates with a lad called Dave whilst at High School.

Compulsary.

I mean imagine calling out to your baby called Dave.

We once had so many Daves in our group of friends we had to give them different names, we had Just Dave, Dave who is David, Hippy Dave (long hair), Dangerous Dave and Dave the Rave

I have at least 4 fairly close friends called 'Dave'.

It gets quite confusing. Mostly I just call them all by their last name(s).

Edit: beaten to it by Binners 😈

Never thought of using last names

Yes.
However everyone, including his wife, calls him chippy.

I've never had a mate called Dave. I work with a few, though.

haha, aye.. Years ago we were all drunk down my brothers house (poker night I think) and people decided it would be fun to start jumping off the veranda, only one floor up, perfectly acceptable drunken behaviour, of course. Couple of mates do it fine, fair height, but if you know how to land it's easy enough, big Dave rocks up, full of the dutch courage, stands on the edge, tentatively takes a step off, straight down like a sack of totties. Gravity is in full effect.

Dave ye alright.. silence, dave ye alright.... arrghgaaghga, dave where's it hurt, alll ovvver! I think dave's f'd, dave you f'? groans...aye, dave's f'd 😆

That was the exact audio on the video that was kicking about for a few years! His associated catchphrase is now "alll ovvver" in your best dublin accent! 😆

Sounds utterly ridiculous when I type that out, but you know, early 20s, just one of those daft nights.

Big eedjit ended up sitting on my brothers couch for 2 days(think he stayed there at the time actually) before he went to hospital, had shattered his ankle and the thing was black.

Played tennis against Dave this morning. He won. I don’t have a friend called Dave 😉

My middle name is Dave.

My Dads name is Dave.

My middle name is Dave - everyone calls me Dave

My best mate is called Dave

I must know at least a dozen Dave's

My middle name is also Dave.

Our Dave is the Davest Dave in all of Davedom. When new to mountain biking he took on a jump in the shape of a big pile of road stones in dalbeattie at warp velocity. It didn't go well. After he'd hit the deck and his bike had come down on the back of his head and he'd rolled around a bit and when a couple of the group stopped laughing enough to go to his aid he uttered/squealed the now immortal "DON'T TOUCH ME!". Dave. Ledge.

every single one of my mates has a mate called dave.

My name is Dave my Dad’s real name was Dave but was called Mick and my step dad is called Dave.

obv. joke to relate...

Dave was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them."
Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Dave, how about Tom Cruise?"
"No dramas boss, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it." So Dave and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door, and Tom Cruise shouts,
"Dave! What's happening? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer!"
Although impressed, Dave's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Dave that he thinks him knowing Cruise was just lucky.
"No, no, just name anyone else," Dave says.
"President Obama," his boss quickly retorts.
"Yup," Dave says, "Old buddies, let's fly out to Washington," and off they go.
At the White House, Obama spots Dave on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, "Dave, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a beer first and catch up."
Well, the boss is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to Dave, who again implores him to name anyone else.
"Pope Francis," his boss replies.
"Sure!" says Dave. "I've known the Pope for years." So off they fly to Rome.
Dave and his boss are assembled with the masses at the Vatican's St. Peter's Square when Dave says, "This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." He disappears into the crowd headed towards the Vatican.
Sure enough, half an hour later Dave emerges with the Pope on the balcony, but by the time Dave returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics.
Making his way to his boss' side, Dave asks him, "What happened?"
His boss looks up and says, "It was the final straw... you and the Pope came out on to the balcony and the man next to me said, 'Who the **** is that on the balcony with Dave?'

My dad is called dave.
I have an uncle dave
Three mates called dave.
And my dog is also called dave.

But the name suits my dog best.

I have a clever naming convention to differentiate:

Dad dave.
Downton dave.
Dopey dave.
Deviant dave.
Dangerous dave.
Dog dave.

Growing up I had a mate called Dave, in fact we've recently made contact for the first time in years.

Few Dave's at work.

I have had a few mates called Dave. Currently a good mare of mine is ‘Big Dave’. He’s a good ‘un. At the same time I met ‘Big Dave’ when he joined our workplace I had a ‘Little Dave’ on my team as well.

I also have another mate called ‘Spanish Dave’ - he’s from Sutton Coldfield, but lives in Barcelona.

My newest ‘Dave’ is a guy called Chris on my team. He’s now called Dave, as my boys think he looks more like a ‘Dave’ than a ‘Chris’.

looks like Countzero is in the market for a Dave, Count you want to hire oot this Dave? Seems a good un! 😆

I also have a dad named Dave and one of my best mates back in the UK is also Dave. He was always known as Lil’ Dave owing to his lack of height and the fact that there was also another Dave in our clique with the same surname who was known as Big Dave.

I can't work out when I became Dave? Was christened David but never been called it?

My dog's called dave.

My dad asked why I said don't know anyone called dave.

Turns out my grandad was davie, my uncle dave, and also my middle name.

The only Dave I know is my brother's ex who cheated on him and dumped him after 10 years leaving him financially and emotionally vulnerable. Mind you he insisted on being called David we should have known he was a wrong un..

Bizarrely, I'm called Dave, but dont know any others.
