The Adventures of BeerMan

Hi

How's it goin?

From October 2008 to August 2009 I lived in Edinburgh with my friends Adam, Jonny Torpedo and Richard P.

During that time we had many drunken adventures.

Regular readers will know I recently found a lot of old video clips on my hard drive. This post is another post about one such video.

It was a another fun filled day in Edinburgh, I had the day off, as did Adam and Jonny had just finished work. Surely this was destiny telling us to go to the pub. But Adam was in a bad mood. We don't know why. Probably because he thought someone was using his ensuite toilet. None of us ever did use his toilet but he became very paranoid that we were all the time. He refused to come to the pub with us, and stormed off into his room in a huff.

I was not happy with this. It was a sunny day outside and three of us were off, surely this is a sign to go to the pub?

So I enlisted the help of a local superhero to convince Adam to come out and play.

Sorry the footage is a bit crap, you can blame Jonny Torpedo, he filmed it.

That's All For Now

Until Next Time

Adventures in Glasgow

Hi

How's it goin?

Several weeks ago, myself and my classmates went to Glasgow for a film festival. It was a two day event, so rather than get the bus back and forth, we decided to stay the night and hit the town. The festival itself was really good, loads of good films and workshops were attended by us all. We also went to a really good lecture by Gary Tank Commander. Was tres entertaining. (That's french for "very entertaining.")

 

The night was our own, so we did what every sensible person does when in a strange town.

We went to the pub.

In one such pub, I attempted to perform a magic trick on Struan. It involves hypnotising him and attempting to make him see a triangle in a pint of lager. It's the same trick I did on Adam once before on a drunken night out. He fell for it too. 

Struan did not see the triangle, but he was looking in the wrong place.

Watch this video to see where the triangle really was.

We shortly moved on to another pub, then another, then another. At one point in the evening our conversation was steered in the direction of Sean Connery. More specifically The Sean Connery Whiskey Advert for Japanese whiskey.

Isn't it amazing how simply drinking a glass of japanese whiskey can give the magical ability to tie a bow tie?

Scott then did his famous Sean Connery impression for his version of the advert.

If that doesn't sell Japanese whiskey then I don't know what will.

That's all for now

Until next time

The Official Making Of The Hotel Promo

Hi

How's it goin? 

Several months ago myself, Ian, Struan and Scott all headed to a hotel on the west coast to make a promo video. We had a cracking couple of days away which I have written about before. While we were away both myself and Scott made several videos. Here is the official Behind The Scenes video, expertly put together by Scott. It's very, very good, and will hopefully give you a good idea of the kind of high jinks we got up to during the weekend.

Hope you like.

Tomorrow I shall be posting all the video's I made, unlike Scott, I am very lazy and I didn't edit mine together. I just stuck them all on you tube. 

That's All For Now

Until Next Time

P.S.


I am aware that the blog has been very video heavy lately. This is because I have recently finished school and have a lot of videos to share. I also just found a lot of old video clips on my hard drive which I had forgotten all about. All of which shall be posted online soon. Including a couple of videos from Marks Stag Do which I know you will love, although Mark might not.

Adventures in Stornoway

Hi 

How's it goin?

Back in March, I did a week long feature on the blog called Island Week. The films featured on Island Week were submissions for a film festival in Stornoway. Out of all the films submitted by my classmates, four of them were deemed good enough to be put forward to the festival, and the four people responsible were taken to Stornoway, all expenses paid.

Which was nice.

It was a long trip. It involved a train, a free meal at pizza express, a coach, a ferry and a coach. During which time I watched several episodes of The Big Bang Theory on my iphone, and discovered that my classmate Cat had never, ever read a newspaper before. The whole concept was baffling to her. She genuinely struggled to figure out what to do. In the end she just gave up and stared out the window for another two hours.

The train took us to Inverness and then we waited for a coach to Ullapool in order to catch a ferry to Stornoway. It was a two hour wait until the ferry, so we did what any other sensible group of people would do in this situation, we went to the pub. 

En route to the pub we discovered this sign for a chip shop. Spot the spelling mistake?

It was a long hard 3 days away, filled with drinking and films. And lots of people speaking gaelic.

The festival had lots of various award ceremonies and workshops/lectures to attend. Some of them were very interesting. It was a great we trip away. I made some videos of our trip, and one of the girls with us took about 400 photos.

Here are the videos I made on my eye phone. Sorry they are not the best quality and I couldn't be bothered to edit them in anyway. I'm pretty busy at the moment so you people are lucky to be getting this.

You're welcome!

And so it's all over. It was a fantastic three days away, almost all expenses paid. Which was nice. Cat won the green light award and rightly so. Her film was by far the best. I was just happy to get a free trip.

30 Day Challenge Day 25: A picture of your favorite day.

Hi

How's it goin?

My favourite day is MONDAY. At least it used to be, back in the days when we had MONDAY NIGHT RAZZ!

Here's a pic of Myself, Rushton and Dr Kev, taken on the same night we found a tricycle.

For some reason on Monday Night Razz, we went through a phase where we kept taking pictures with what we thought were comedy poses, here are some of the better ones.

Good times.

Bring back The Monday Night Razz!

30 Day Challenge Day 12: A picture of something you love.

Hi

How's it goin?

Before anyone starts giving me a hard time about not mentioning my girlfriend here, please note that it's something, not someone.

A picture of something I love?

Well it's got to be Jeremy, my giraffe.

I bought him in Dakar, while I was working on the QE2. When you've had a few beers in Dakar and you see a wooden giraffe, you'd be stupid NOT to buy it.

He cost me $50, and a NYC money clip. This was haggled down from $250 and my trainers. The market seller genuinly wanted the shoes off my feet. He offered me a lift back to the ship so I wouldn't have to walk. I was not keen on this as I suspect I would have been taken somewhere and had my organs harvested. Not that they are worth much.

Anyway, as I said his name is Jeremy and he currently resides in the living room at CampaWorld.

That's All For Now

Until Next Time
