To fancy Dave Coaches?

I know he’s riddled but if he could just sort that out…? Am I the only one? When I see the actor in anything else I am absolutely unbothered so it’s definitely when he plays the character.

Yes, for a bit of slap and tickle. But do have a freaky fancy list with Malcolm Tucker, Superhans and Saul (Better Call Saul).

Thank you @SabrinaToolmaker , I've had a few mixed emotions over the last couple of days and was having another moment. I saw your thread title and my tears turned to laughter. I then read "I know he’s riddled" and have been reminded about my hernia, ya bugger 😅

I’m so glad it’s cheered you up and best of luck with your health issues 🙏🏻

@Gem359 It's a Welsh thing. Name followed by job or something relating to your job.

ie

Bob the logs (firewood supplier)
Dave coaches (coach driver)
Jeff the death (undertaker)
Dai bread (baker)
Phil coal

Etc

Bibonelove · 31/12/2024 20:44

😂😂😂 I kinda of get it tho

stickybear · 31/12/2024 20:46

I love Dave Coaches Blush he's great to Nessa and Neil the Baby and it made me sad when they had to turn him into a bit of a baddie to justify Nessa leaving him at the altar. Glad he got a happy ending, riddled or not Grin

Mmmm I agree about Superhans, such lovely eyes. Then again this crack is very moreish.

Yes definitely a Welsh thing, possibly more of a Valley’s thing. I know of Merv the Milk (a milkman), Dai Toot (taxi driver who toots his horn to let you know he’s outside) and even Martin Lewis is Martin Money according to my mother.

As for Dave Coaches, I actually think he’s a decent guy. When Nessa turned him down at the wedding he was good about it, he’s pretty chilled, loyal and reliable. I think you could do a lot worse.

Babadookinthewardrobe · 31/12/2024 20:48

Dai Toot! Love it 😂

Compash · 31/12/2024 20:49

Gem359 · 31/12/2024 19:42

Just no.
But I always wanted to know if his surname actually was Coaches or if he was just called Dave Coaches because he drove coaches.

You're not Welsh, are you? 😄

…. but he’s riddled AND he lives in a car-a-van

Compash · 31/12/2024 20:50

Sorry, @LastNightMyPJsSavedMyLife got in before me...🚌

Compash · 31/12/2024 20:50

On which note, would you say 'Thanks, Drive' afterwards? 😄

GRCP · 31/12/2024 20:50

Dave, no. Mick, yes.

KimberleyClark · 31/12/2024 20:51

Always liked Steffan Rhodri!

LastNightMyPJsSavedMyLife · 31/12/2024 20:54

@LovelyBranches not just a Valleys thing. I'm North and we do this too.

Jeff the death is my favourite

Ilovesandwiches · 31/12/2024 20:54

he definitely smells!!

oohlalalaa · 31/12/2024 20:58

I was saying this to my husband the other day, he's a good man is Dave Coaches. He did step on Smithy's toes with Neil the Baby at the start, but he clearly loved him and Nessa. You could do a lot worse than him, provided he kept it in his trousers.

Imjustlikeyou2 · 31/12/2024 20:59

God no 😂 what about him makes you want to jump his bones? Genuinely interested…

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 31/12/2024 20:59

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 31/12/2024 19:19

No. Definitely not.

Now, Mick on the other hand...

I’ve always quite fancied Mick!

Ahh I always thought that the Welsh and the North of England share similar senses of humour, now I know they share similar nicknaming conventions!

LastNightMyPJsSavedMyLife · 31/12/2024 21:01

@LovelyBranches I'm North Wales as opposed to the Valleys Grin
