Fruit has a lot of sugar, naturally occuring of course but still a lot.
Yogurts can also be high sugar.
Make sure you check the labels and also the amounts you are having.

So I just did my first gym session today, yay. Squats ,Deadlifts, Bench press, feel really sore and I am eating like an African child, just literally cant stop eating :|, anyway, I been reading this thread a lot and notice a lot of people complaining about people doing curls in the squat rack xD
Today when I got there the gym instructor actually had moved a bench to the inside of the squat rack where he was showing this guy how to do inclined press or something, I thought that was really funny considering how much it annoys people here LOL
Using a rack for safety when pressing of anything worthwhile is an obvious good idea. Doing barbell curls in a squat rack is completely different
Above curling? Nobody is saying curling is bad, but lets be honest, there is no need to do it in a squat rack. The loading argument is pointless also as such little weight is used tbh.
that's a good one going across the bicep
liking the position of the tat also, whats it say?

Mid-Life crisis is 40, you're not quite middle aged just yet.
8 years to save for that then!! hmmm, I think I can save about 30p per month, don't think it will be much of a crisis lol
That would be clean and press then, clean is from floor/hanging to shoulders
That's some nice pressing for reps in 2nd vid!

Eat more.
Add 500kcal a day to your intake and see how it goes. If still not growing, add another 500kcal.

2 months is a lot if he isn't growing.
If your diet is ok now just eat more of what you are eating

Intensity, while going deep, is the key as I have said many times. Not the number you are lifting, but the intensity.
Go deep, go hard.

Why are straps a no go?
I've seen a few blokes with long sponges to help with grip.
You would have loved the guy doing squats after me yesterday. He loaded 100kg straight up, followed by a few more sets up to a max of i think 160kg. Bear in mind this guy was no bigger than me i would have been impressed but this was how low he went;
epic paint skillz
Did he bend forwards with back almost parallel to the floor?
Yep that's my thinking, depending on how the exercise went it could have been a good morning
Leg press, like most exercises, has it's place 
You've got to be careful comparing yourself to big guys when doing body weight stuff. It's not an equal comparison
