Worked with a lad a few years back affectionately known as Dave the Rave. He was late 30s when I met him and worked with him for eight years. It was an in joke that he had a mid life crisis every 2nd Tuesday. During the eight years he moved house 4 times from Drogheda to Bray to Newbridge to Balinteer. These were sales. He had 3/4 kids and definitely 2 of them were in school. He must have went through 10 cars, 4 motorbikes and as many push bikes. He was a fit man but there always was a new fad. Yoga, mountain running, rowing, triathlons, hockey, tag rugby… The same with his diet. He’d be a vegetarian one month extolling the virtues of eating salads while the next all he’d eat would be chicken breasts. We knocked great craic out of him.
He was a restless soul. He eventually emigrated to Australia where I’m led to believe the pattern has continued.
