I was moving abroad with my new job which wasn’t going well, I’d just split up with my girlfriend and I didn’t know a soul in the whole of the new country I was going to. It was at very short notice that I had to leave and with everything being so busy I didn’t have...

The most memorable time and what will always remind me of Adam was bonfire night. I was in a rented house with a large garden and we decided to get some fireworks and have a bit of a display. We had set off quite a few when Adam went to set off a traffic light. We...

My first memory of Adam is during a sneaky ciggy break in sixth form, when he was recounting the event of the previous evening to explain why his arms where aching soooo much. Apparently John was rather sceptical of Adam’s claim that he could do 100 push ups…a...

While driving along one day when Adam was about 3 or 4 years old, he asked his Mum and Dad what a road sign meant. They explained that it was a sign warning that there could be Deer on the road. A little later, Adam’s Mum and Dad asked him if he was alright as he...

Once we both arrived at work at Safeway’s after a particular heavy night at Martine’s. We were working together on Saturday morning trolley duty…obviously still being the worse for wear and hungry as hell we both took a bite out of a piece of Broccoli left behind in...

One of my earliest childhood memories is of me and my big bro as little dudes at bathtime. I remember being happy as larry, splashing and giggling and wide eyed as I marvelled at this interesting foam stuff, while my brother was happily placing it around my head and...

I was in my first year at Bournemouth Uni when Adam and Laura came down to visit me for the night. He’d been looking forward to coming down for a while and checking out Slinky and the Opera House….Anyway after much drinking Adam decided to put on a Daft Punk cd during...

Shortly after moving into our house Adam thought it would be a great idea to have a bonfire party. I agreed and we decided that as we now had sofas, we could saw up and burn the wooden futon as our bonfire, however this burnt quickly and we had no other wood… until...

I have so many memories of Adam that is hard to say which one is my favourite. I remember on my 18th birthday he had come round straight from work and he wouldn’t let me out of the house. I had to wait as I had a surprise. Not content with giving me just one helium...
