Texts From A Mystery Person

Not to be confused with The Crazy Person, these texts were from a Mystery Person. This story takes place while Laura and I were in London. We were in The O2 Arena having dinner and I got a voice mail. A voice mail from a number I did not recognise.

If you can't see the video above then stop reading this crap on facebook and CLICK HERE

I listened to this message about 50 times but I had no idea who it was from. But clearly they knew me. They knew my name, they knew my phone number and they knew I was at the Glee concert.

I racked my brain, I had posted on facebook where I was, so that was probably where they noticed. But who the hell was it? Who did I know in London? And why was this the first time they were contacting me?

Was this some crazy stalker?

Was it a serial killer who lures his victims in by leaving them impossible to resist voice mails?

I called back the number but they were in the arena already and I couldn't hear a word they said. I decided a text was in order.

 

Who was this person? And why was this the best day ever? Was it simply receiving a text from me? Oh god! This was a nutter I was texting. What had I done? This maniac was no doubt now going to track me down, cut off my skin and wear it to his birthday.

I decided to try and call this person out. If I knew where they were, I could be somewhere else. Hiding.

He was already in the arena, not only that, his seats were less than 200 yards away from ours. Holy Shid! This guy had done his homework, not only did he know where I was going to be at what time, but he even managed to get seats close to mine.

Fook!

And who the hell is Britney S Pearce? Was that him? Or her? Was this an alias?

I had to find out. I had to know. If it was my fate to be killed by this nutter then I would go out fighting. I left Laura securely in our seats, safe from this crazed killer. I wandered over to where his seats were, slowly almost ninja like. I did not want to be spotted. I surveyed the crowd but saw no familiar faces. I rang the number, and I heard a scream, a very loud scream. 

This was it, the end. The moment where you have to accept your fate. The killer was coming to get me, little did he know I had seen karate kid over 300 times!

"ANDY G!!!"

I heard being screamed. I turned around, and did not see a crazy killer.

I saw an old friend.

Dolly.

Who I used to work with on The QE2.

Amazing!

I breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Dolly a hug!
What are the odds of this actually happening? The O2 arena holds tens of thousands of people, and a friend who I hadn't seen in years had spotted I was at the same show thanks to facebook, and not only that, was sitting less than 200 yards from me. Amazing.

Dolly was incredibly excited to see the show and heard a rumour that Gwenneth Paltrow might be doing a cameo. He said if that did happen he would probably just give birth right there and then. Which would have been weird.

Dolly has also been an avid reader of the old blog, and hopefully he will be just as dedicated to this one. He seemed very excited at the prospect of being featured on the blog. I insisted we take a photo to document the occasion. He made me take three so as to make sure he got his t-shirt in.

Wordless Wednesday: Batman Versus Darth Vader

A New Name For Vincents

Several weeks ago, I was chatting to one of the chefs at Vincents. He mentioned that Vinnie (The Owner) was contemplating changing the name of the restaurant. He want to turn the restaurant into a steak house. Personally I'm not sure about the whole steak house thing, I like the fact that our menu is varied, we do have a good selection of steaks and other dishes that appeal to all tastes. I am very much against a name change. The restaurant has been open for over a decade. If you want to change you need to COMPLETELY change, not just a name. What's in a name after all. I haven't heard him mention it again recently, however several days ago I found a piece of paper in the kitchen, and on that piece of paper were names, potential new names for Vincents. I of course stole this piece of paper and scanned it for you to see.  

 

My personal favourite is Beef Encounter. 

What's yours?

Texts From A Crazy Person

A couple of months ago I was going to Edinburgh for a night out with a couple of pals. Sadly for the past few months my finances have been at an all time low, so with this in mind I was traveling to Edinburgh via the cheapest method available, bus. I was running late by the time I got to the station and unfortunatly I didn't have time to buy a magazine or a newspaper for the journey down. So after just barely making the bus, I boarded, sat in my seat, turned on my i-pod and stared into space for 3 hours. Or at least that was the plan. About 20 minutes into my journey I received a text, a text from a number I didn't recognise. Over the course of the next 2 hours I named this texter "Crazy Person."

This was our conversation:

Ok, I should point out at this point I was suspicious immediately. Granted my book is indeed pure genius, but the fact that some random girl would text and tell me that seems highly unlikely. 

And where it is also true that I am a legend at Tapas Towers,  I again found it extremely doubtful that someone would text me and say that. But I was bored on a bus, and with nothing else to do, I decided to engage this crazy person.

What's the worst that could happen?

 

I was starting to get a bit concerned at this point, what if this really was a genuinly crazy person? I was fairly certain that it was either Adam or Jonny Torpedo. But what if I was wrong? I didn't want to arrive in Edinburgh to find a crazy person waiting for me at the bus station.

That's not me showing off. My friend Jonny Mountain is a big fan of my cock. CLICK HERE if you don't believe me. (That's not a link to anything pornographic or anything)

The Crazy person then started calling, and calling. In fact he called me 9 times. I didn't answer once.

Then he started leaving me voice mails.

If you can't see the video above then stop reading this crap on facebook and CLICK HERE

The worrying thing about this message was I didn't recognise the voice.

 

At this point I started to become slightly scared. Turn around? Why should I turn around? Is this person on the bus with me? Is this really a crazy person? Oh god was I about to be killed? I turned round slowly and cautiously and surveyed the other passengers. None of them looked like a crazy person, by this point in our conversation I was convinced that this texter was in fact Jonny Torpedo, but he wasn't on the bus either.

And then came the admission.

I knew it was him all along.

Mostly. 

While I am glad that Jonny Torpedo has read Fifty Envelopes, it does worry me that he came up with all these sexual suggestions with me in mind.

Wordless Wednesday: Happy Anniversary (on Friday) to the Richard & Rayne

The Wedding Blogger Has Arrived!

In Summer 2010 I went to four weddings. This book is my drunken memories of those times. It tells the tale of 4 weddings, and 2 stag parties. During which time I came up with three of the most amazing chat up lines you will ever hear and made history by giving the worlds FIRST speech about a wedding cake.

Some highlights of the book include:

Three amazing chat up lines.

Me shooting a man in the leg.

Me having an argument with a train man.

Jonny Mountains Ass.

And for the first time ever in print, the three most embarrassing stories about me.

The Cottage Incident

The Carlos Valderrama Incident

The Chips Incident 

And

The Chips Incident Told In The Style Of Mark Cruickshank


The book will also answer some of the questions you never knew you wanted the answer to, 


Who did Andy sleep with at Ian's wedding?


What exactly is a "Boat Hat?" 


And


How do you give a speech about a wedding cake??

The book costs £7.06 (plus postage and packaging)

The book is available for purchase HERE.

And as an added bonus, until September 9th 2011 you can get 20% off using discount code:SEPTEMBERUK meaning the book only costs £5.65

If I can go ahead and answer the questions that no doubt will follow.

No, you cannot have a free copy, even if you are in it. It's published via a print on demand website so even I don't get a free one.

It costs £7.06 because that is the minimum price I am allowed to make it. This is due to printing costs and lulu.com taking a cut of the money, I am making very, very little money out of this. I didn't write this book to get rich, I just wrote it so I could have a record of the most expensive summer of my life. 

Lulu.com quite often offer discounts using a special code, I will always advertise these codes via my facebook and twitter accounts. 

And yes, everything in this book did actually happen.

I hope you buy it, and I hope you like it. If you do please tell your friends and get them to buy it. If you don't like it then keep your thoughts to yourself.

That's All For Now

PHUGS! The Outtakes

Regular readers of the old blog, should have seen my friends Stephen's short film, Phugs. I also did a little behind the scenes post.  Well it is with great pleasure that I present to you,  Phugs: The Outtakes.

This a brilliant look at all the out takes, which really showcases Scotts improvising skills, and Stephens fussieness.

Andy & Laura's Adventures In London: The Coolest Bar In Town

After our geeky afternoon we decided a drink was in order. So we headed to the coolest bar in London.

The Ice Bar.

Yeah I just did that joke. Deal with it. 

 

The ice bar is a really cool place (no pun intended that time). It's £15 each for entry and that gets you a 40 minute session and one cocktail. And everything is made of ice. The bar, the seats, the shelves, even the glasses are made of ice.

You get a complimentary poncho to wear while inside. They advise you to keep it on at all times as the temperature is between -5 and -10. And today was the day I was walking about in shorts and T-shirt. I was damn cold!

The ice glass's are a fun idea, but the drawback is you don't get much in them. You get one drink included with entry and if you want a refill it's £8. Being from Aberdeen and a bit cheap, myself and Laura did not buy another drink in the ice bar. But we had paid for a 40 minute session and we were damn well gonna get our money's worth. So we hung about for another 29 minutes and 15 seconds and took some pics.

The ice bar was a great experience. It's not somewhere you'd go regularly but it's def something you should do.
Over all it was a fantastic holiday, just far too short. Laura and I have just booked our next holiday. We're going to The Costa Del Sol next summer for 2 weeks. I wonder if they have an ice bar? Or a Doctor Who experience for that matter?
