PREVIOUS YEARS ENTRIES FROM THE DIARY:

Minions, sorry for the lack of updates again. Unfortunately, I suffered a rather nasty sporting accident that has seen me temporarily out of action. No, this is not simply an excuse, but here is the living proof:

This will happily explain my absence from social events in recent weeks, as I have sought to recover properly in order to ensure that I do not lose my boyish good looks/end up with nose amputation issues

The Randy Lawford podcast is now coming along nicely, and myself and Chapman are closing in on a deal to bring an interview with a rather popular chap to the first 'original' podcast - ie one that isn't just a load of recycled radio calls

Apart from that, I have bugger all to report

Feeling Randy - search for it on Itunes, and enjoy!

Thursday 07/08/08

Citizens, rejoice! It is a year today that McCarthy returned from his triumphant overseas trip to Canada. In the year since I have returned, Britain has no doubt become a better place. There have been no more floods, the weather has been good and the only negative things of note are rising crime and a muppet in charge masquerading as Prime Minister

Randy Lawford has recently scored his highest Youtube video, with THIS effort. At the time of writing, it had scored 31,392 views and was sitting pretty as the 17th most viewed News and Politics video in the United Kingdom this month. A fine result for a video lasting under a minute which merely consists of myself eating peanuts by a swimming pool

Residents of Lewes will soon be able to rejoice also, as McCarthy is due to enter into negotiations with a local company that could see Burgess Hills Favourite Minor Celebrity coming into their town to work for a few weeks. It will no doubt raise the profile of the county town of East Sussex far greater than anything else has in recent years

Tomorrow, McCarthy and Witham are set to undertake their biggest maze challenge yet. Having successfully negotiated Legoland, Leeds Castle and Hampton Court Palace, we will take on one of the toughest mazes there is with the Tulleys Farm Maize Maze. Will we make it out alive? Will we be able to steal a donkey? Will there be attractive women in there to fondle as we navigate? Tune in at some point in the next month to find out!

Busy times have been taking place at McCarthy Towers in recent weeks readers. After many months of broken promises, potential releases and general bone idleness, myself and Peter Chapman have nearly, finally, got the 'Feeling Randy' podcast onto Itunes. At this moment in time, its is merely a few of Randy Lawfords phone calls to various radio stations regurgitated, but it is a huge step towards getting some original material onto there, and our ultimate aim in trying to break into the Top 100 downloads. It is also a very good feeling personally to finally get a project to take off. Before this moment, our long-term and challenging project list consisted of such current whales as the Star Wars movie (planned to begin summer 2004, 4 years on = a quarter of a script written. Which has now been lost) The Burgess Hill Wrestling Match (planned to begin autumn 2004, revived in February 2008 = half a promo written) and various gorilla antics which have never happened. But now the podcast is up and running, hopefully successfully, it may encourage us to complete those other projects. Although I wouldn't hold your breath

On Friday, McCarthy and Lloyd stepped into the field of conflict that is the golfing arena. We learnt one thing from this whole experience, and that our handicap is ultimately playing golf, as we are awful. Nonetheless, we intend to keep attempting to better ourselves, and who knows, maybe one day we will make it to around the 20 over par mark. Any challenges wishing to take part in the golf challenge should get in contact and they will duly be taken up. Unless they are good, in which case you can go away

Cricket is also on the agenda, with Bert Lloyd attempting to organise another Twenty20 match that have become something of a summer tradition in the mac-i calendar. And with Robert Jones putting himself forward to organise a tennis tournament, there is plenty on the cards for the next two months until university is resumed.
