The grumpiness can be cured by the following: liberal libations/donations of Bells Sherbet(after passing test 1st time), showing up on time, being patient (if you get there at eight, don't complain if you wait all day - he will fly with you). Make a coffee as follows: Microwave a mug of milk and two sugars until it just comes to the boil and then stir in a heaped spoon of Nescafe and place in his large mitt - you will see a big smile on his face after that! If you do these simple things you will proceed to the top of the class.
And by the way the 'Ye Rules of Dave's Dungeon' are:
Rule 1 - Dave is unvariably correct
Rule 2 - If in doubt - refer rule one
Rule 3 - (the most important) When Dave give's advice on tests,jobs and such, listen and 'Zip thy Lip'.
If you go to there - give him my best! (he'll know from the foregoing who I am!)
