I may be an ancient member of the bl community who now lurks more than posts but I can say I liked Evads posts and am sorry to c such a valuable member of BL pass away.. I didn't know him personally but a few years back I personally knew 2 bl'ers who tragically died and I felt that loss with a lot of pain and crying....for those that knew evad not just from posting but on a more personal level my heart goes out to u!

It's not nicer than Tennent's and he knew it. Just never admitted it. Which he's not around to either confirm (not likely) nor deny (very likely) now.
Makes me wish he could turn up out of nowhere to deliver a lecture on the virtues of K cider vs. Super.
i've been drinking K cider all week , tis easier n cheaper than super lager.
Get it down ya SAm.

It really was a wonderful post Annae 
I don't know if it's appropriate to say, but I see a great deal of his posts in yours.
My deepest condolences and love to you.
I'm still lacking of words. Don't think they'll ever turn up.

Much love
If anyone has any stories, nice/funny/absurd memories, random msn chats etc they want to post here feel free.. I appreciate it is hard to think of specifics as there were so many, but it would be a lovely tribute. I will try to think of a few to contribute - there are so many, but my miund is blank at the moment..
Thank you again for all your comments, Dave would be made up

I can't believe how close I came to meeting you two at boomtown! Was waiting for you in the spot where i thought you were going to be. I came away feeling disappointed, but safe in the knowledge i would probably meet you both in the future.
Such a reality check, life is so fragile. Once again, my heart goes out to you Effie

I was just checking back through my facebook messages to see if I had any from Dave, and I found one that made me smile It was just a greeting but it went a little something like this;
Brought a smile to my face

Five years ago, on a mid summers evening, at a free party in a leafy dene in the middle of Newcastle Upon Tyne, Cherry met a boy called Evad. They sat around the bonfire, laughed and talked, and then his girlfriend of the time taught Cherry how to overcome shy bladder behind some trees, while Evad stoodon guard.
Ever since that night, Dave became a good friend, and has always been there for me over the years. He was there for me on the morning I got the phonecall telling me my boyfriend who was also a close friend of Daves, had passed away, we'd been up all night at a friends birthday and he refused to let me go home on a comedown on my own. To say our goodbyes to Tom in style, we drank champagne in the garden under the morning sun and shared our stories about Tom (also a fellow bluelighter). He always knew just what to do and say at certain times, and he did it right! If he didn't, he was straight up and said I can't help, but put in a darn good try! He was always right the smart arse!
Tom was the same age as Dave when he died, it's always the young and the best who are taken too soon. They can be together now, there will be some shenanigans happening now where ever they are. Rest in peace wherever you are Dave, I'll see you in the next one.
He was a shining light and a friend to so many. Just reading this thread shows how many lives he touched.
If there is one thing I'm going to take from this it's to make my life more positive, and live it to the full. Make positive from negative. I need to fix up and look sharp, clean up and stop letting the white and brown ruin my life. I know he would like that, one of the last conversations I had with him, it's still there if I click his name on facebook, has him telling me to 'get on a script' then.
I've got lots more stories to share Effie. Some photos too from the BL X-Mess party, I'll hunt them out. There's a poster that Tom stole when Dave kindly gave us a place to stay in York when we were desperate, that Dave has. Dave said he'd put it up on the wall when it was Tom's anniversary to remember him, I'd like to have that if it's okay with you.
Rest in Peace Dave. Thank you for being you. Much love to his family, friends and Effie

Annae Thank you for posting. It was a lovely post. I bet it meant a lot to everyone here that you came on here to post, it did to me anyway.
I'll post my first PM from him -- actually I included it in several of the many, many attempts I made to first post in this thread, but it got dropped from the final edit.

It's not really funny or interesting but in the context of my first post.... we got chatting for fucked banter and a laugh, that's all he wanted, but when I needed help and support he was there 100%. To be fair, several bluelighters spring to mind as having also been incredibly supportive during that time. In the spirit of ructions earlier post, I and appreciate every one of you for all that you did for me, including Dave.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make...
Judging by his taste in music, evad would have hated the beatles, but I can't think of a more appropriate tribute reading this thread. Take care effie, annae and everyone else who was close to him...

Tomorrow we're going to meet up just like you said you wanted us mods to do a few weeks ago. Except we never fixed a date or got t'others involved because we were both unreliable as fuck.
It'll be great, we've got everything sorted (except you know I hate breaking routines) and we'll be missing you the whole time. A lot.

Definitely Sam It's all going to be an ode to him
Me and him both had extreme hatred for moths One conversation pointed this out:
Also I always liked how we'd call each other "Breadbin" ^_^
Such a great human being...
I wish circumstances didn't pan out how they did as I would have met him and was really, really looking fwd to doing so - Meeting up with all the Brizzle crew...

I'm sure we'll do him proud, atleast sesh-wise.
And I couldn't agree more... I'm still expecting him to send me little "Yo mang" on msn.
Another fantastically obscure thing he sent me was this video of a transvestite songwriter, possibly under the alias of Pressure Zone called "I can't wait to put it in my mouth".
When I watched it I laughed my sides apart but found it strangely catchy
