Heartland

Now we know what he does in his spare time.

clicky

"Metal detectorists David and Andrew Whelan, who uncovered the treasures, said the find was a "thing of dreams". (Ed note: Shouldn't that be "Theatre Of Dreams ..?)

The pair, from Leeds, said the hoard was worth about £750,000 as a conservative estimate."

the nice unbiased people from the bbc wrote:We were astonished when we finally discovered what it contained."

So Dave now has the only complete version of SSV!!

Planet Dave is 21 and has been a fan of The Sisters of Mercy since half past three on the 3rd day of September AD83.

It will be stunning when it is fully conserved."

What does that mean?
They making Jam out of it or something?

That'll be mongberry jam then

What with being a metal detecterist, and owning Wigan Football Club, not to mention the odd round of competitive golf, it's a wonder I have any time to make jam, or get off me nut.

Awesome story!














...but it's no Sutton Hoo. Pfffffffft.

it's gotta beat working......

I saw the afore mentioned Mr. Whelan on the news last night and there is an uncanny likeness.

But can he boast having his own planet?

I think it was supposed to be "plant" but he made a slight typo when he registered

From memory it stemmed from the JW gig in 2005 when Ravey turned up at the pub approx 3pm ...

Dave: "Hello Johnny!"
John: (notes wild grin and dilated pupils) "Fcuk me! You're already on Planet Dave ..."
Dave: (muses) "Hey! I like that. 'Planet Dave.' I'm gonna change my Heartland user name!"

Thus history was born.

Not really but you've been hiding your light under a bushel as well!

I think Dave was in interstellar space by later that evening...

Do you need tan lines to get to Planet Dave??

In Hungary it's called a gypsy's t shirt

In England its what happens when you play cricket every chuffin Saturday in summertime. Still, its a small price to pay for being able to maim folk (and be maimed, natch).

@ Mr Mernor - yep, that's pretty much how I remember it - can't have been that bad if the memory was still intact We'd gone in earlier, you and Ania had nobbed off somewhere, so we had a pint then went for a sitdown on Hamburger Hill and awaited your return. Happy Days.

You playing on the 4th?
Haven't been to a cricket match in yonks.
Used to play for a village team dahn sarf y'know.

Yeah I am as it happens. Like I'd tell you lot where!

Oh go on.
We won't throw stuff (well I won't)

Yeah, alas. I avoid the sun like the plague, and when I need to be out in it for any length of time, it's SPF 50 sunscreen on all exposed skin. Hey, I like my wrinkle- and fine line-free pale yaller complexion, hahahaha! I reflect, ffs!
