I just found out that there's a Freeview channel in UK named Dave. Seriously, what the fuck?! Who in their right mind thought that this was a good idea, giving a TV channel such a shit name?

When I first heard the name I thought "WTF?!" Dave has some good stuff on it though, the name change was based on the idea that "Everyone knows a bloke called Dave" apparently

It used to be called UK Gold, why they gave it such a dumb name is beyond me.
It's okay, nothing special.

I know loads of Dave's. It must be in the top 3 of male names in the country. I wonder why of the Christian names in particular.
