Yes listeners, crunch time is coming to Danny Granville Street as we get ever closer to the end of McCarthy's university career. This means a plethora of work to complete, then the joys of attempting to find a job or way to do sod all but still earn money. The stress of the current time has provided a convenient excuse to postpone the planned Jesus-esque fast that was due to kick off today, as I am now due to put in a brief Burgess Hill appearance this week which will coincide with football in London. The mixture of football, beer and London will ultimately mean that McCarthy will end up eating something, so it just seemed a sensible decision to put the fast on hold.
A fantastic weekend that, while may not have been beneficial to the digestive system, has been and passed. Beer and curry was the name of the game in Bradford on Friday night, as McCarthy joined Jamie van der Westhuizen and Simon Valder in a rugby league themed trip prior to Saturday's Brighton game against The Leeds United. Both sporting events were enjoyable, and the warning about Bradford curry's being authenticly prepared so being hotter than what most English folk are used to was not heeded by either McCarthy or Oaf, as they both proceeded to order hot currys and then have to pile through without complaining. The taste lasted for over 24 hours, but thankfully it was a good one so didn't cause as any money problems as first thought, even if the curry did end up leaving my stomach with the feeling that a small animal had crawled up my arse and died inside
The Cheltenham Festival is now under a month away, and McCarthy will be welcoming both Robert Jones and Bert Lloyd to Danny Granville Street for the event. Bert will be losing his Cheltenham and festival virginity, while myself and Jones will be attending our third, and from past experience the week will no doubt end in mess and disgrace.
Finally, McCarthy Industries could be set to announce a huge piece of news that will impact on the footballing world of Sussex. Things have been quiet on the Hamsters front in recent months, and for this we make no apology as should these in-depth negotiations come off then the official Mac-i football team could be about to ascend to a higher plane. Stay tuned for information!

Exciting times on many different fronts in Danny Granville Street in recent weeks. Most excitingly is the news that McCarthy's current residency is haunted. Bizarre things have happened since moving in occurred back in September 2008, but these things have come to ahead in recent weeks as paranormal behavior has increased ten-fold. Three residents, including yours truly, have reported thinking that they head someone say their name when nobody else was around. The electricity has developed a somewhat annoying habit of turning itself off during the most inconvenient of times, things are falling off shelves, there are mysterious bangs and knockings when nobody is upstairs, the other night I was certain that a shadow in the shape of a human moved in my bedroom as if it was picking something up, and most strange of all was the kettle turning itself on when nobody was around.
Research has lead to the discovery that next door lived two men who died in World War I, and in our very own house one man lost his life in the Great War. The medical facility that is opposite our house was also once a hospital, and the area of town in which Danny Granville Street is situated was also one of the few parts of Cheltenham to sustain bombing damage at the hands of the Luftwaffe. There is a strong case for ghostly activity, and in true McCarthy fashion there is the full intention to carry out research into this in the form of the return of McCarthy Industries much lauded Most Haunted programme - coming soon.
Regular listeners of the diary will know that I like to put my body through testing yet ultimately pointless tests. In the past, these have ranged from adjusting the body clock, seeing how long I could go without sleep and only a month ago I completed the three months as a vegetarian challenge. Now comes the next stage - fasting. Jesus has done it, Ghandi has done it and now McCarthy hopes to ascend to a more spiritual plain by undertaking what is more commonly known as a water fast. This is designed to flush all the toxins out of your body and allow it repair. There is no set time frame for how long I aim to go without food, as having thought about it that would be plain stupid. No listeners, from Monday February 22nd I will simply be seeing how long I can survive until hunger and temptation get the better of me. I expect it to be about an hour
Blokes on Soaps has now launched with McCarthy and Chapman's opinions on all things soap. We recorded our first podcast on Tuesday night, so expect that to be on-line in about six months. If it does make it on-line, then it will instantly have succeeded in getting further than other projects such as the Star Wars Movie, wrestling match, t-shirt printing business and driving test route guides.
Valentines Day, that delightful celebration of love, is now only ten days away. In break away from tradition, McCarthy will infact by sending out cards this year. So far a list of five recipients has been drawn up, so if you think there is a chance that you could be recieving a card from Burgess Hills Favourite Minor Celebrity this year (providing he has an address for you of course!) then be sure to keep your eyes peeled on that letter box.
And finally, in memory of the bygone days of 2004-2006, McCarthy has decided to return to having golden locks. The move has been recieved with a mixed reaction, with comparisons to WWE superstar Goldust and Eminem being of slight concerns. Here is a picture of the damage with McCarthy's new hair stylist, Carla,, taken on a recent night out:
