Last Monday he had a moan about not being in the blog enough. So here he is.
Rushton and myself have been soldiers in the hospitality battlefield for many years. We first joined the fight at The Toby Carvery where we spent many hours practicing our patented dance "The Slalom."
Since then he has went on to much better things than I, having been the general manager of several clubs and pubs in Aberdeen.
But like me, he has developed a hatred of the public.
It's understandable, they are all twats.
Rushton lives his life according to one simple rule.
He also has questionable musical taste. One time at the Toby he put on Backstreet boys five times in a row. No one is really sure why.
He also has many celebrity connections. Having once been hit on the head by Mallets mallet.

As many of you know, lately I have been a pretty miserable bastard. Well on Monday I decided to try and do something about it. My facebook status says it all really.
I decided it was time to resurrect my beloved Monday Night Razz. I always used to go out on a Monday night. Drinks were cheap. It was awesome. This was in the pre casino days so we normally went to a few pubs, ended up in Tiger Tiger and then Five for late night breakfast. Monday nights were always the best. Here are some pics from classic Monday Night Razz.
So last Monday I met up with Dr Kev, Dave and Rushton.
Both Rushton and Dave seemed quite offended that I have not yet included them in Friendly Friday. I tried to explain to them that they are not done in any particular order. It's just who ever happens to pop into my head at the time of writing. To make them both happy the next two fridays will feature Rushton then Dave.
We started Monday night the place where all monday nights should start.
The Old Hogs Head.
The beers were flowing and the banter was decent. I joined the guys as they were half way through a conversation about who should be the new manager of Celtic.
Not knowing very much about football I didn't really have an opinion. I attempted to join in the chat by suggesting any footballers I could remember. I chimed in with Ian Jess, Scott Booth and Stuart Mckimmie. The guys didn't seem to think any of them were a good suggestion.
After the old hogs head Kev decided he had enough and wandered off to get the bus home. Myself, Dave and Rushton were still up for a few beers. We headed to Revolution which was dead, we then headed to Enigma where I bumped into a classmate. He was out celebrating that his film won the celtic media festival. Here's his video.
If you can't see the video below then stop reading this crap on facebook and CLICK HERE.
After enigma we headed to Exodus where the tunes were pretty decent. By this time we were all on the spirits and then we hit the dancefloor with a vengeance.
We were contemplating leaving but then the DJ played Staceys mom.
After leaving the club we headed down belmont street in search of a taxi. Some girl came up to us and asked us to give a homeless busker some money. I asked if he did requests and suggested a medley of Five meets the Spice Girls. She then said something loud which I couldn't understand. Rushton joined in and said, "Sorry I don't speak fluent pikie." She did not take this well. She looked like one of my old staff from Vincents, I asked if she was this girl, she took great offence to this. I'm not sure why. Then her homeless boyfriend came over and threatened to punch me. I was confused by this, I said I just asked the girl her name and then the guy told me to fuck off before he smashes my fucken glasses into my face.
I got home around half 2 and lost the ability to use my phone. I couldn't figure out how to set the alarm.
Luckily I had a back up plan.
This did not work out. Not one of my class mates bothered to call me.
I was very disappointed.
I woke up at 10:45 and class was due to start at 10:30. I got ready as fast as I could and jumped on the bus.
It was time for my back up, back up plan.
I sent the following text to my classmates.
I am on my way. In exactly 25 minutes cause a distraction and I will sneak in unnoticed and convince the lecturer I was in class all along. Just like the plot of an eighties movie.
I spent 25 minutes on the bus wondering what kind of distraction my classmates would conjure up. Maybe they would spontaneously burst into song and dance? Maybe they would start a fire? Maybe they would start a conga line through the class? Maybe they would put on a low budget puppet show?
The bus journey was long, possibly due to my hangover. I was entertained by some texts I received from Dave.
10:23 am I am Steaming.
11:12am I just met my bosses bosses bosses boss with rum breath.
11:17am Top tip i just sobered up by having 10 extra strong mints
I arrived at the class exactly 25 minutes later.
I was again very disappointed in my class mates.
Only Ian attempted to cause a distraction as I entered. And all he did was wave his arms about like a nutter. I really did expect better.
Monday Night Razz was always the highlight of the week. One day soon if you're lucky I will tell you the tale of the Tricycle incident.
Thats All For Now
Until Next Time

My timetable changed in school last week. This means I have a couple of new classes, one of which is titled Working in the creative industries. It's meant to give us an idea of what job we would like to do one day.
Our lecturer asked us to do a mind map of where we see ourselves in 10 years. I thought I would share mine with you.
In 10 years time I...
will not be bald
will not be grey
will not be homeless
will not be drunk in a gutter somewhere
will not be really, really fat
will not have a litter of illegitimate children
will not be repeating this course as a "very mature" student
will not be on the run for piracy (both video and ship based)
will own a hover car
will have finally watched Lord of the Rings
will have visited las vegas
will have bet everything on black 29
will own Kitt from Knight Rider
will have driven the Batmobile dressed as Batman (preferrably Michael Keaton version, Adam West version is second choice)

Within 24 hours of writing about that bloke, my blog was read by over 120 people.
120 people in one day!
That's mental!
I also received a couple of comments from fans of Alex which I will now share with you.
AussieJo said...
Hi Andy, I am a female Alex O'Loughlin fan and I would like to thank you for your contribution to our very worthy cause! (snicker!) Keep an eye on him is my advise to you. It may earn you brownie points in the future!
It's already made your blog more popular!
Take a female friend to see a movie called The Back-up Plan that's due out soon, and when the new Hawaii 5-0 tv show comes out in September, watch that.
Hey, Andy. Hope that IMBD link is to MySpace because Alex has said it is the only legit one, not Facebook or Twitter.I agree with AussieJo, hie thee to the Back Up Plan, even the guys are saying the trailers are funny and Alex is no namby-pamby like some romantic leads I can think of. You WILL be hearing more about him.
I also sparked a discussion on an Alex O loughlin Discussion board

I put this here because I thought it was funny. This guy has, as he put it, a "crappy little blog."
He is out of somewhere near England/Scotland and apparently he has been bombarded by Alex fans and he doesn't know who "that guy" is.

18 April 2010 Who the hell is Alex O'Loughlin? Hi Hows it goin? Over the past couple of months I noticed something, something unusual. Since February, 18 people have found my blog by searching for Alex O'Loughlin.
I have no idea how they ended up on my crappy little blog, but somehow they did. I've never written about this guy before, I didn't even know who he was until 15 minutes ago. So I thought it's only fair I say something about this bloke.
He's an australian actor, he was in a tv show called moonlight about a vampire P.I. And he is gonna be in the new updated version of hawaii 5-0. I have no idea how people find my blog by searching for this guy but I thought I should give them something to read.

Poor Guy. He's following David Blue's blog on his site and the link probably came up with Alex' name when David blogged about meeting him for lunch. That's how the word's spreading. There's just no way to get out of the six degrees of internet connection.

Thank you Lucia. Very soon, Alex O'Loughlin is going to be a mega star on the big screen and on television. I believe that Alex is going to be a household name worldwide.

I will tell you how people found him, I have gotten several google alerts that have lead me to his blog, only to find out he has nothing to do with Alex. Don't ask me why but it happened several times.
These guys really do love this Alex bloke.
I have to disagree with one of the comments tho.
"his life and his blog will never be the same."
That's a bit much eh?
I would very much like to experience a positive life changing event, especially since i'm such a miserable bastard lately. But somehow I don't think this is it.
No offence.
I might check out Moonlight sometime. Sounds a bit like a rip off of Angel to be honest. I will def check out the revamped version of Hawaii 5-0 when that comes on. Anything with women in bikinis gets my vote.
As for the movie he's gonna be in soon.
Here's a trailer.
Judge for yourself.
If you can't see the video below then stop reading this crap on facebook and CLICK HERE
Personally I think it looks a bit pants. Altho I have noticed lately that a lot of movie trailers tend to put all the jokes from the film into a two minute trailer. Maybe this film has left all the jokes out of the trailer so you can be pleasantly surprised in the film?
I don't think I'll go and see it. I don't want to offend any of the very dedicated Alex O'Loughlin fans who might stumble upon this post.
Don't leave me any comments with abuse simply because I don't like the look of this film. I get enough abuse as it is.
This film just does not appeal to me. The trailer essentially tells you the whole film. And I bet you a tenner that it turns out that the sperm doner is the character Alex plays.
Thats All For Now
