Haven't done a Friendly Friday in a while, and since she hasn't asked for one lately, I think it's about time she had her turn.
Today's Friendly Friday is all about Laura. A.K.A. The Girlfriend.
Laura and I met several years ago at an Aberdeen pub based version of Pop Idol. Laura was one of the judges on the panel. I am unsure as to why as her singing is......unique. I was at the final of this event as it was being held at the bar Rushton was a manger of at the time.
Even though we have known each other for years we only started seeing each other 6 months ago. Better late than never. In those 6 months, here are the top 8 things I have learned about her. Why 8 I hear you ask? Because 10 is too many and 5 is not enough.
1: She hates Oliver Twist, calling him a "Greedy little shit!"
Laura and I are returning to Goulash tomorrow night. If anything interesting happens I'll be sure to let you know.
That's All For Now
Until Next Time
Have A Nice

I haven't done a Friendly Friday for a few weeks now. Not because I ran out of friends, but because I couldn't be bothered. However, over the past couple of weeks, this guy has done me a lot of favours, so I think he deserves it.
Congratulations Struan!
Your time has come.
Struan is in my class at college, and he is far, far more talented than myself. He has been particularly busy this year, having a role in almost every production made by our class.
Here he is in action in a spoof of the Jeremy Kyle Show

He is the star of my multicam assessment The 10:03 News.
He also starred in what is by far the best multicam assessment produced by our class,
He is also in the cooking show I made, entitled Cooking With Struan. He helped me make my three minute wonder at Bob's hotel. (Both of these films will hopefully be finished within a few weeks and premiered on this wonderful blog.) He has been a massive help to me over the past few weeks so as a thank you he gets his own little page dedicated to him.
Thanks mate. It really is appreciated. He is also a very funny man, here he is telling a joke.

Those of you who bothered to watch my film The Playhouse, may have noticed there is a line in it, in which the chef (played by a very handsome and talented actor) talks about his french brother. This is a reference to Struans first year film. Despite constant nagging from me, he STILL has not put it on you tube yet. Maybe this will convince him.
Come on dude.
Pull your finger out!
Also, I do recall Sturan, that you once said if I did ever give you a Friendly Friday then you would buy my book.
And now a sneak peek at next weeks Friendly Friday.
Another classmate. Scott.
He has also been of tremendous help on my films this year and spent much of last Wednesday morning wearing bermuda shorts in freezing north east weather conditions. But that's a story for another time. Like next Friday.
Here's a short video of Scott and Struan together in Cha'n The Cud on the Teuchter Channel.

Stevo is perhaps the geekiest of all my friends. It was he who introduced me to the concept of organising my DVDs in such a manner that would include a "Superhero Section."
The man is a genius.
Stevo has also been dropping several hints of late about not being included in Friendly Friday. He was even close to tears in a taxi last Saturday because he hasn't had a dedication yet. As regular readers will be aware, if you ask you don't get.
However, it seems that fortune favours Stevo, as yesterday I discovered a video buried deep within my hard drive, and decided I had to share it with the world. This was filmed over two years ago at a party in the Casino. Stevo and I had drunk all the free drink and decided it was time to move on, but when we got outside we decided to play Cloverfield.

After playing we headed to a club where we took several photo's attempting a different pose in each one.
DRUNK
GAY DANCER
COOL GUYS (WITH A FLOATING HAND)
SHOCKED
TEXTING
ANGRY
I'M ABOUT TO GET LICKED AND I LIKE IT
Stevo was good enough to let me stay with him for the three weeks I was homeless before moving to New York. I was kinda poor but I did give him a little cash, plus £50 worth of casino chips and a shit load of booze left over from my old flat. I'm nice like that.
Stevo is also a very stylish guy, so much so that he once tried to give our friend Lewis a makeover.
Once again, if you can't see the video above then you're a fucking moron! Stop reading this crap on facebook and CLICK HERE
When I first started doing Friendly Friday I used to include a definition form UrbanDictionary.com. I haven't done that in a while but I was feeling quite retro at time of writing, so I did a quick search for "Stevo"
The search turned up six results:
My favourites are 1 and 4.
That's All For Now

As regular readers will know I have a semi regular feature on this blog called Friendly Friday. This is where I write a post all about someone who is lucky enough to be my friend, and it goes up on a friday. Hence the name.
I haven't written a friendly friday lately, mainly due to laziness. A lot of people still ask for one. But that's not how it works. If you ask you generally don't get. A Friendly Friday is an honour which is bestowed upon you, not something you ask for. Come on guys! You wouldn't ask the Queen for a knighthood would you?
Well today is Friday, but this Friendly Friday is with a slight twist as you may have gathered from the title. This is an UN friendly Friday and is all about Grappa The Crazy Killer Demon Dog From Hell.
Don't let this picture fool you! She is pure evil!
I recently moved house, I now live in CampaWorld with Althea & Ivano. And Grappa The Crazy Killer Demon Dog From Hell.
I have made a few videos featuring Grappa, which you can see at the various links below.
Now I think it is time for the origin of Grappa to be told.
Grappa is an agent of Satan!
Yes, you read that right, Satan, The Devil, Beelzebub. What ever you want to call him. Satan the dark overlord is trapped in hell, he cannot escape due to him being trapped by Superman in a super strong cage made of super strong Kryptonian metal. He cannot leave hell to corrupt and destroy the planet, but he can send his minions to do so.
Throughout the ages many of these minions have tried to destroy the human race through various means. Some of them you may have heard of Hitler, Stallan, Kriss Akabusi, and Mother Tuckers.
Each of these "people" is actually the demon spawn of Satan himself, sent to earth on a mission of destruction. Fortunately most of these foe's have been defeated. Hitler was defeated by Captain America. Stallan was defeated by Lion-o from the Thundercats. Kriss Akabusi was defeated because he was just shit and clearly not as good as Roy Castle, and Mother Tuckers was defeated by one of the great unsung hero's of our time, Andy G! (Me)
Angered by the pathetic efforts of his previous minions, the dark overlord decided a different tactic was in order. In the very depths of hell, he took the soles of all the most truly evil people in the world, like people who play music through their phone speakers on the bus. All the previous contestants of Big Brother, and people who don't tip in restaurants. He took the soles from all these truly despicable people, as they are indeed the worst that humanity had to offer. He took those soles, and stuffed them into a dog. Then he sent that dog to the mortal plane on a mission to destroy the earth.
That dog was Grappa.
Grappa was armed with several super powers in order to help her in her mission to destroy the world, so far only a few of these powers have been documented:
Super Psychic Mind Control Powers.
The ability to bark very loud and wake up Andy in the morning.
The ability to do a massive crap at the furthest possible distance from a bin when ever Andy G takes her for a walk.
The ability to grow wings enabling her to attack from above.
If you ever come across her in real life, don't look directly into her eyes.They are pure evil, that's how she will hypnotise you into loving her. The next thing you know you're an unwilling soldier for the forces of darkness!
She arrived on earth and made her way to the local dog shelter, using her insidious mind control powers to prevent her from being put down for being the crazy beast that she is. If only the man who put dogs down was blind, then the world would be a much safer place. She used her mind control powers to hypnotise hapless couple Althea & Ivano Campagnoli.
Look into the eyes of the dog in this picture, look how they glow. This is Grappa captured on camera using her Super Psychic Mind Powers!
Definitive Proof!
Grappa uses her insidious mind control powers on all that she meets. Unfortunately for her, the day she first met Andy G (Me), I was very, very hungover. The fact that my brain was swimming in a sea of booze protected me from her powers, and I have become immune. It is only Andy G that can see her for what she truly is, and it is only Andy G that can save us all. And now the never ending battle continues,

This was actually meant to be posted last week as it was Helens birthday, but I forgot to write it. I've been pretty busy lately you know. So since it was her birthday, and she wrote a nice review of my book. She is lucky enough to feature on this weeks Friendly Friday.
The origins of Helen are unknown. Many believe she was sent to earth to be a guardian angel to the drunken idiots she encounters. Some believe she is the biggest drunkard of us all. And some think she's just a girl from the north west who recently turned 30 and has a paper round.
All of the above statements are true!
Helen is in many ways, a legend. We met while working on board the QE2 and forged a friendship based on lager and the fact she was going out with Adam.
Helen always did her best to help me out with the ladies, not that I needed help. I have a simple strategy, I don't chase after women, I let them come to me.
I am still waiting.
I haven't seen Helen since Paul & Sonya's wedding. From what I remember she tried to out manoeuvre me on the dance floor. She of course failed.
Here's a video of all the QE2 Crew, this might shed some light onto the future holds for Helen.
If you can't see the video above then stop reading this crap on facebook and CLICK HERE
Although I have not seen much of Helen in recent years I sill think of her as my Guardian Angel. I am also obliged to say nice things about her because she apparently still has the drunken voicemail I left her when I went to a wine tasting. I don't remember calling her, I don't remember much from that day. But she has threatened to keep that voicemail until I am rich and famous and then sell her story to The Sun.
Several people have asked me in recent weeks for a Friendly Friday. Sorry but that's not how it works, if you ask then you don't get. Friendly Friday is written about who ever pops into my head at the time. Helen popped into my head cos she bought my book(HINT) and wrote a nice review about it. (ANOTHER HINT)
That's All For Now

Althea, Ivano and I all met during our time at Vincents. Althea was a friend of the previous manager Layla. Her application is one I will always remember. Layla wrote on top of it,
"Friend of my family, very good. Not sure about her hair though."
When Althea first started she had red and blue dreadlocks. That was the main reason she got a job, her hair matched the chairs.
Ivano started working at Vincents a couple of weeks after me, and quickly took charge of the wine. He then took over the club below the restaurant.
Althea & Ivano were married in May 2008. I was meant to be best man, but I rather stupidly took a job in New York and had to leave before the wedding. A decision I still regret.
I had dinner at Althea and Ivano's house two weeks ago, and since they are currently re-decorating they mentioned that they were considering getting a lodger to help out with cash. I snapped up the offer. It's far cheaper than my current flat, and all the bills will be split three ways.
Fantastic!
Plus Althea and Ivano can both cook, and I can eat.
It's a winning combination.
I am a tad concerned about the other flatmate,

Grappa the crazy dog!
I suspect to be eaten to death within a month. If I'm lucky.
Moving day is this Monday! I probably should start packing.
Here's a video of the drunkest I have ever been, featuring Althea.

This weeks Friendly Friday is all about my classmate KP, and is a direct result of blackmail.
Those of you who follow me on facebook or read the blog yesterday may have seen this:
Well KP did buy my book, so as promised here is a blog entry about her.
KP and I met one year ago, when I returned to school. One of our first conversations involved star wars, and I could not believe that she had not seen it. To the best of my knowledge she still has not.
Kp is also somewhat of an inspiring artist:
I have put this picture on the blog before, and it still scares me. I believe that this picture is glimpse into KP's mind, which scares the crap outta me.
Kp won an award last year, along with our classmate Laurence. The two of them created a film called The Green Eyed Monster which won the celtic media festival. I was tempted to enter something into the festival but never got round to it. I am glad I didn't, as I don't have nearly as much talent as these two guys.
If you can't see the video above then stop reading this crap on facebook and CLICK HERE.
Now for some reason KP wanted me to write a poem, and not just any poem. A poem about her, and not just any poem about her, a poem about her left ear.
KP has ears, both left and right.
They often listen, to me speak shite.
Her hair changes colour,
about once a week.
She's a trendy girl,
and not a Star Wars Geek.
Her hair was once purple,
then blonde, then red.
Kp really has,
a multicoloured head.
Recently she changed the colour to blue,
why she did this I have no clue.
So now for the part,
about KP's left ear.
It's just like the right one,
it helps her to hear.
That's the end of this crap poem,
sorry it's crap, but please don't moan.
I must apologise for the quality of that poem, it really was crap wasn't it? Sorry about that. I'm really tired, I've got a lot on right now ya know. And it was a poem about a Fooking left ear. What did you expect?
That's All For Now
Until Next Time

If you want to be included in Friendly Friday then you need to buy my book, them's the rules!
She is envelope number 44. This is a letter I wrote to her regarding a dinner invitation which never came to fruition. Ilaria wrote me a very long and detailed email with an explanation and I then replied back to her. All of this exciting correspondence can be read in my book!
Ilaria has described herself as the female equivalent of me, and in many ways this is true. Except she probably drinks more than me. Although we do share the same tastes in tv shows. Meaning that we both like things that are AWESOME!
Ilaria and I met while I was working as the manager of Vincents. It was here she truly became a gigantic pain in the arse by constantly singing. And not singing well. And usually some song about grasshoppers! I did try to find this song on You tube but had no success. Sorry. But trust me, your better off. It once got stuck in my head for three days and I could not stop singing it. People thought I was having a breakdown. If you've been reading this blog for a while you'll probably remember that Ilaria once proposed to me. For those of you who need a reminder, here's the voicemail.
If you can't see the video above then stop reading this crap on facebook and CLICK HERE.
I hope this has helped you to understand Ilaria. I haven't seen her in a while If you see her on the street please do give her a big hello hug from me.
Just so people understand, Friendly Friday is not done in any particular order. It is not a ranking of my friends, it's just who ever happens to pop into my head at the time of writing. The reason Ilaria popped into my head on this particular day was someone who read my book was asking if myself and Ilaria had arranged "coitus" yet.
