A belated happy new year to all your listeners out there. Christmas and New Year has proven a particularly busy time for Burgess Hills Favourite Minor Celebrity, with things to see, people to do and the general setting in of a drunken haze and return to meat eating. First things first then - as many of you know, food is one of my great passions. Having been a vegetarian since September, Christmas dinner was met with a sense of aprehension. Would I like meat? Would my body reject it? Would my head explode, splattering family with pieces of brain and skull bone as I failed to deal with animal in my mouth? Thankfully, the answer to all these questions was no, which lead to the most pleasing Christmas dinner of my life. I cannot begin to describe the explosion of joy in my mouth when that first piece of meat was digested - without a doubt the highlight of 2009.
Christmas Eve was once again a terrorist opportunity missed by any Muslim extremists out there. The pillars of Burgess Hill had once again gathered in St Edwards Church. Had Al-Queda struck, they could have removed not just McCarthy, but Chapman and Martin Jupp, thus in one clean sweep eliminating the towns two biggest celebrities and the owner of the premier fish and chip facility. This years service was, on the whole, dissapointing. Having championed it to Miss Katie Knight as well and convinced her to attend, this was particularly upsetting as it fell well short of expectations.
New Years was spent enjoying curry in The Weald, with McCarthy being sick on no less than two occasions. He was, however, not the culprit who covered the gentlemans bathroom floor with vomit. Having paid a visit moments before Robert Jones, Jonesy managed to escape the bathroom with nobody bar myself seemingly noticing him going in - which naturally lead to myself being named as the guilty party in floorgate. I have, however stressed my innocence by sinking to a low I never thought I would have to - revealing that, back in 2004, it was infact Jones who blocked Kelly Salmon's sink with sick at a house party, and left it in there, which resulted in Bert Lloyd taking the blame for a crime he never committed. The man from the Rhonda Valley is obviously a vomit feind, as he has once again let one of his friends take the fall for his lack of skill when it comes to being sick into a toilet. I hope he feels suitably ashamed.
McCarthy has now returned to Cheltenham, where he begins his final stint as a university student. It is a scary though to think that I will have to join the real world in six months time as, unlike Chapman, I am not able to doctor a note regarding illness. There are, however, ways around joining the real world that I have been privy to information on - namely, scandanavian countries do not charge foreign students for masters degrees apparently. This has lead to me carrying out some very real research into just what the University of Lapland could offer me, except for a high cost of living and snow.
Speaking of snow, McCarthy has incurred two injuries already thanks to the white powder. 48 hours ago attempts to slide down a road where thwarted with a twisted ankle, which due to the lack of any form of first aid kit in Danny Granville Street has lead to it having to be iced using a frozen pizza. And then yesterday, the dangers of sleding on a metal storage heater cover were highlighted as Burgess Hills Favourite Minor Celebrity took a particularly steep drop on Cleeve Hill at around 20mph, with the result being no control over the route taking and a subsequent collision of shin bone on heavy red sledge.
Finally, another new project from the McCarthy-Chapman production line is starting to come together - Blokes on Soaps will be an on-line blog and eventually podcast in which we will discuss what is going on in the soap opera's of England and Australia in a blokes manner. Things are still at a tenative stage, so bear with us as things pick up - but for those who like the Randy Lawford mentality, then you are in for a treat
