Does the Alex you refer to enjoy spreading rumours?
If he had nothing to tell would he seem to just make it up?
Does the Alex you refer to have a tendency to slap himself about the head for no apparent reason?
Does he make snide comments about other's appearance?
Does he boast about his New York temper and how he put the staff into their place?
Does he often forget to take his medication?
Does he walk like a fairy-penguin?
If you answered yes to these, then the Alex you are looking for can be found at the very top of this thread - and no doubt at the very bottom.
