Let's talk about Text

Hi

How's it goin?

Like I'm sure a lot of you do, I like a good text. It's a handy way to keep in touch and something to keep you occupied when you're bored. I thought I would share with you some of the best text's I've received in the past few months.


Laura claims she was referring to me dedicating a Friendly Friday to her. I don't think that's what she meant.



Back in September of 2009, I wrote about how my friend Jonesy was getting a bit violent towards celebrities. 
He recently had a relapse into this behaviour.


Althea spotted yet another one of my Dopplegangers.


Althea's request for dinner

Laura felt the need to inform me about her sexual activities when I'm not around.



Speaks for itself really. I think everyone should receive a random fact of the day.

True. It is.


The second best text I received that day. 
I'm keeping the best one all to myself.


I do have nice nipples.

And to finish off this rather pointless and dull post, a song. But it's a good song. I strongly suggest you play the video below.

The Tale of the Bratislavan Stag Do: Naked Mud Wrestling, A Stolen Wallet, and A Drink In My Retina!

Hi

How's it goin?

Regular readers will know I went to four weddings this past summer, I've not blogged about my wedding experiences. I did write a draft of a post about one of them, and it was massive. Far too long. So I have decided to compile my experiences into a new book. At the moment it's called The Wedding Blogger, but if you can think of a better title then let me know. It's ages away from being finished as I am incredibly busy with school work, I'll get round to it eventually. Hopefully. I was doing some work on it last week and this got me thinking about other weddings and stag do's I went on.

Back in 2006, my mate Jonesy got married. And everyone knows that before you get married, you have to have a stag do. Or a hen night if you're a girl. But I never get invited to those. I was looking through some of my old photo's and found some photo's from Jonesy's Stag Do. Which I will share with you now.

The stag location was Bratislava, in Slovakia. Jonesy had been there before and had a great time. Plus it was really cheap. Although when we first arrived I got ripped off by a taxi driver, as I paid four times what I should have. Bastards.

What followed was drinking, lots and lots of drinking. And it was cheap drinking too. Which compelled us to drink more. At one point I got a drink thrown in my eye, which led me to scream the very popular phrase,

"Ow, there's a drink in my retina!"

My vision was obviously severely affected. Later that night when I attempted to get out of bed and go to the vending machine to buy some water, I tripped and bashed my head off the radiator nearly splitting my head open.




It hurt. A lot. And apparently we already had three bottles of water in the room.

I think it was a good look for me tho, I'm told chic's dig scars.



On the second night, we dressed Jonesy up as Daffyd from Little Britain.
I think it was a good look for him.

After drinking, and drinking lots, we were informed that our transport had arrived. Rod (the organiser) had something special planned for us. Although he refused to tell us what it was. We all piled into a minibus and off we went. We were driven far, far away. Into what looked like an industrial estate. Most of us were convinced that we were about to be killed and our bodies harvested for our organs. Then we saw, the pub.
Nothing special about this pub, it was just an ordinary pub in the middle of an industrial estate in Bratislava.
EXCEPT, this pub in the middle of an industrial estate in Bratislava was to be the venue for the greatest entertainment I have ever seen.


Naked women, naked women wrestling in mud.
It was awesome!

Jonesy was dragged into the pit and encouraged to take part.
Lucky bastard.

He seem's rather proud of himself in this picture. The first thing he said when he emerged, naked from the pit was:

"It's very cold mud!"

Other highlights from the weekend included:

Dr Kev and Mark perform an experiment with Coke and Mentos.


We bought some wooden weaponry.

And Rod fell asleep in a bar.

There was of course one other highlight from the weekend. Something which shall forever live in infamy. I recently downloaded an app that allows me to turn photo's into comic books. I think it's best to tell you the story like that.
Just keep a close eye on the girls hands.
Now I will admit to being a bit bored the other night, so I turned all the pictures from this incident into a comic book. And then I turned those pictures into a video comic. And then I added opening and closing credits to the video comic.
Like I said I was a bit bored.

25 Random pics from Edinburgh

Hi

How's it goin? 

From October 2008 to August 2009 I lived in Edinburgh, I returned for the month of August 2010 to work in Tapas Towers for the festival. Here are some random pics from my time in Scotland's capitol.

I had just finished a busy shift at Tapas Towers, when I got home around 1 am, this is how I found Adam. 
It's hard to tell but he is actually asleep. 



I was out for a run and noticed this boarded up building.



It's the words "opening soon" that I really like.



Marta from Tapas Towers has a much needed Red Bull
 it was the biggest can available. We called it the Mega Bull.



Was out for a pint with Adam and Jonny Torpedo and I noticed that Adam had vanished. He had not been seen for nearly 15 minutes. I text him to ask where he was, concerned that he may have been kidnapped. We have super secret codewords for such situations. This is how he replied. 



 Jonny Mountain and my mate Dave in the pub when they were passing through town.


 We got a bit bored in the flat one night, 
and then Jonny Torpedo found tube of hair removal cream.


The partially bald leg.


The mood dinosaur from Tapas Towers, 
This face means the boss is happy.



 This face means the boss is angry.


Adam eating a curry, naked.


Jonny Torpedo eating a curry, naked.


  
Now this isn't a terribly exciting picture, its just a steak sandwich and a bowl of chips. But I was genuinely excited when I ate this steak sandwich and bowl of chips. This was probably the greatest lunch I ever had while working at Tapas Towers. Mainly because it wasn't tapas.


The German waitress from Tapas Towers had a headache, she tried to cure it by holding a glass to her head. Apparently this was an ancient German ritual.

The view from our living room

A very strange order.



I spotted a sign for this pub, perhaps the Anonymous Teuchter drinks here?

Myself, Ian and Richard P out on the razz ma tazz.

Adam and Ian. (A bit pished)


Ailsa attempts to hide from the customers.


 Adam and Jonny in bed together. The scary thing is, that's my bed.

 Adam trying to look cool. And failing.


Dr KevMark and Jonesy when they came down for the flat warming. Why Mark has that expression on his face remains a mystery.






That's All For Now


Until Next Time

Reviews of My Book

Hi

How's it goin? 

So its been two weeks since I released my book!
And so far I have sold 26!
Most people have said that's not a bad start, and it's not. But I did send over 300 emails telling people to buy it.
So to you 274 people I say, I am very disappointed in all of you.

The reviews have been coming in and for those of you who are yet to buy my book, this might change your mind.



 My friend Jonesy said all he had to say in one simple text.





He was also kind enough to tweet 


His daughter, Gwenno, was also clearly impressed.




This review appeared lulu.com



Fellow Blogger and Former Stunt Driver (how cool is that?) Ian S Davidson is also a satisfied customer.




Mia, my old shipmate from when I worked
 on the QE2 was impressed.





And my old school mate Gemma sent me this message.



 My co-worker from Vincents also did her part.



And on Sunday I also received this email, via my Dad, from a friend of my parents.

Hi,


Please forward this to Andrew


Hi Andrew,


Hope this message finds you well!


Loved the book, as a letter writer myself I have every intention of using some of your lines.  I am inspired to write to Tonik tomorrow.  I went there yesterday lunchtime, we couldn't sit outside on the couches at the dirty table and drink wine yet we couldn't sit inside where our shoes stuck to the floor with my 12 year old daughter.

Cried laughing at your Blackpool antics and the locker story!

Looking forward to your next one.

A few days ago I had the following conversation on facebook.

Well Kirsty (or KP as she prefers to be known) took that deal. She has bought my book. And tomorrow is Friday. And regular readers will know that every Friday I write a blog post about someone who is lucky enough to be my friend. So tomorrows Friendly Friday will be all about KP.
Also known as the girl with the red hair.
Also known as the girl with the blue hair.

So tomorrow you're gonna learn all about KP, and read a poem about her left ear. Which is weird. But not my idea.

KP, if you are reading this then I hope you enjoy the book. If you want to be a guest writer on my blog I will gladly let you write a review. You can even draw a picture if you like. 


So all these people have bought my book and enjoyed it. 


Have you bought it yet? 


NO? 


Why the hell not?


What kind of friend are you?


A crappy friend! 


How dare you not buy my book! 


That's just bang out of order!


Only two things you can do to make it up to me.


Buy my book, and buy me a beer.


To buy my book CLICK HERE!

Two days ago I sent a complimentary copy of my book to Peggy, the owner of the now closed Mother Tuckers. I will let you know if she ever gets back to me.



Have you bought my book? 
What do you think?
Would you like to be featured on my blog?
If you do, then take a picture of yourself with the book, and e-mail it to me with your thoughts and I will feature it on the blog. You, yes YOU could be a guest writer on The Blog Of Andy G! 
I am sure that's something you've been waiting for all your life.
