Dave Ryder
 

For my sins I'm wed to a guy called Dave.  He is responsible for most of the things I do, as I had to give a lot of things a go during the vigorous wifelet selection procedure.  He is from Brentwood in Essex - Essex man - his ever so slightly nutty (but lovely) parents still live there.

Dave used to be super fit, running on tough terrain and being a very high ranked orienteer in the UK, he has too many other things to do these days including a desk job etc.  These days Dave does sailing, orienteering, cycling, and some running when kicked out of the house by the wife.  He is also a computer nerd.

See Dave's orienteering computer Splitsbrowser.  It is the host for my website.  He provides this service for free!

Dave is as famous as me for saying the wrong thing to the wrong people at the wrong time, we have a Dave quote of the week competition up and running with previous winners including:

  • Michelle and Dave down the pub with mates - Dave remarks "There is a dog under the table and its not my wife"

  • Dave meets by boss's wife (a C of E vicar) for the first time Dave's opening gambit "hello, I don't believe in god"

  • Following on from above, "Believing in god is OK, but I'm not into all that evangelical stuff".  This is what Margot's church has to say about itself - St. John the Baptist Church, Grove (near Wantage) is an Anglican parish church within the Evangelical tradition and part of the Diocese of Oxford.  Keep digging Dave.

  • Dave at the disability / blind peoples event at the SU while talking to a wheelchair user "Hello,  my grandfather had one of these electric wheelchairs, they are great they are, it shouldn't have been allowed though as he was half blind"

  • "Turkey is a nice place, I could go there and sell my wife for 7 camels - bargain Id say"

  • I've got a bottom like Jennifer Lopez (Michelle angling for compliment) "your bum is a really weird shape" (Dave)

  • I've got a Fu ' ' ing useless wife

  • I'm a sex symbol in Vietnam because I'm so tall and hairy. Miss Ming was besotted with me the whole time I was out there (or was it minger Dave)

What else can I say, life would be very boring without you Dave
