Everybody loves New Alan.

So who is this "new alan" that I spoke about in the last post? Well, new alan turns out to be an american man called Darryn, who has lived in both ireland and germany before moving to live in Brixham.

This whole thing started when we were in Wetherspoons enjoying the ale festival, and RICKY pointed out that there was a man at the bar who looked like Alan. We all turned around to look, and sure enough he did. Even with the mannerisms. We couldn't exactly hear what he was saying, but he was waving his arms around and pulling some very alan-esque faces and expressions- he also seemed reasonably drunk. That is as far as it went for the time being, until later.

After some more ale, nature called and I had to go to the toilet. New Alan came in moments later and went in the urinal next to me. We acknowledged eachother, and I said to him, "you know, you look awfully like our friend alan." That is where it began. As we were washing our hands, we introduced one another and exited the toilet. As we left, my peers noticed I was conversing with this new alan guy, and so he came and sat down with us. Here is a picture that Kylie managed to get on her phone of new alan.

As you can see, the resemblance to actual alan is uncanny. The more we spoke with him (and the more drunk we got) the more we realised how similar to alan he actually is! After more drink, the bar finally closed. We then moved on to Jacks, which was still open. New Alan came with us! He was very entertaining, and the whole evening was excellent. However, New Alan completely vanished just before we were about to leave... We all went home and slept.

The next day, I texted New Alan to see if he was still alive. No reply.

However, the day after that, Kylie confirmed that he is still alive, because he attended the next performance of fiddler on the roof (Tradition!) dressed in a halloween costume. Classic new alan I say. I am told they all then went to the pub after.
I look forward to seeing new alan again and having some 'banter'. haha
