It has been a long time since such drunkern McCarthy scenes as Saturday have taken place. Stolen wet floor cones, attempts to chat up Polish and Hungarian women and bizarely, a German man, slices of ham thrown about on a tube train before being placed down the heating duct, street urination - it all took place. Many readers may ask, Scott, why? And the finger of blame can be easily pointed at Michael Yardy and Sussex Sharks - had they of not been such a disgrace in Saturdays Friends Providents Trophy Final, then there would have been no need to drown sorrows and no need for the carnage that followed - mainly induced by a £12 rum punch purchase. However, despite the problems on the field, it was another fantastic day out, and hopefully just a taste to come for our Ashes experience in two weeks time
McCarthy will be jetting off on early his second holiday of the year in a few weeks time, as another couple of weeks will be spent in the excellent hospitality of the Collin family in France. Last time they ensured I ended up horrendously sunburnt and in a drunk stupour for the majority of the week, as well as experiencing what eating a chicken bone is like, so we can only hope for more of the same on this visit
Roadworks have been ongoing outside McCarthy Towers in recent days, with Tom McCarthy claiming responsibility for one of the situations following his constant complaints about potholes resulting in resurfacing of the Royal George-West Street-Sussex Way roundabout taking place. It is causing no end of issues for motorists, but I am pleased to report that Burgess Hills Favourite Minor Celebrity has taken one for the time by dishing out punishment via the eating of the entire Towers stock of Edam
And finally, for those who are friends with myself on Facebook and wish to see an unbelievably piece of footballing ability, check out the video entitled "McCarthy's Volley". It is the most stunning goal you will ever see in your life. End of.

Dear oh dear listeners - what have I learnt in the last week - never ever consume 8 pints of Chucklehead at 7% that is out of date and thus more potent, and then try and wash that down with 8.2% Westons. Those lucky guests who attended Saturday's BBQ will be able to tell you why, as my state denoted. Usually, McCarthy makes it until the end of the event, the last man drinking, sometimes even into mid morning the next day as was the case in 2007. This year however, Burgess Hills Favourite Minor Celebrity was passed out by around 1am, and when I attempted to go to bed I got as far as getting up before collapsing in a heap. This then resulted in toe nails being polished, which I am still unable to remove due to a distinct lack of nail varnish remover.
Despite the rain and my mishaps, it was generally a good night. Nothing untoward happened which made a pleasant change, and the Towers garden was once again left in a respectable state, so many thanks to all who attended. You can check out the action on the BBQ pages
On Monday, the Hamsters made their long awaited return with a convincing 11-1 victory over the Diamonds. It was a delight to be back on the football pitch, and it has inspired us all to play on a more frequent basis. Naturally, being obese, chronically unfit and bone idle this inspiration will never be seen through, but it was nice to think that we considered it for a moment
My two weeks of work experience is now completed, and once again, I have two back page leads to my name. This journalism lark is all too easy, which is in contrast to my book, which has still not got beyond the introduction stage. This is something I intend to work on in future weeks dear diary, as is my quest to complete Pokemon Red which has stalled completely since returning to university - neither of these matters is being aided by my obsession with Bejewelled Blitz on Facebook - something that is beginning to take over my life
Finally, two birthday shout outs - Dougie Lane was 21 last Saturday, and it is chief advisor Bert Lloyd's birthday tomorrow - happy birthday chaps, and I look forward to partaking in many drinks in the next 48 hours to celebrate

Debate flies around McCarthy Towers tonight - how, exactly is Michael Jackson's daughter white? Answers on a postcode
The annual McCarthy Industries BBQ takes place this Saturday, which has no doubt left great excitement across Burgess Hill. Comparable to anything on the social calendar in the town, it is once again expected to be a night of ultimate disgrace. In the past, the night has seen affairs, blood, tears, a destroyed fence, hayfever problems, love, not a lot of hate, good food and good drink. What will this years BBQ bring? Tune into McCarthy Industries next week to find out
Oh, and just a quick message for Peter Chapman - ANSWER YOUR BLOODY PHONE!
