PREVIOUS YEARS ENTRIES FROM THE DIARY:

OCTOBER 2007

Friday 26/10/07

Today begins McCarthys first week off since arrival at uni, for "Reading Week". Unfortunately, it is not a week based around the town in Berkshire as I first believed, but a week in which you read. Naturally, this gives all my fellow university classmates a chance to laze about and do nothing, while I, Cheltenhams Minor Celebrity will use the time productively to get out and about and do some filming in this town, and maybe, if you are lucky, in Burgess Hill. 

Many people have commented recently on the Amarillo video, despite the fact it was done over 2 years ago. This has been in part, due to Peter Chapmans idea to add it to youtube, where it has now reached number one in the search for Burgess Hill. This has inspired me to produce more videos of this category, and myself and Peter will be looking into the opportunity to do such a production next week

I have finally got round to adding the Scott McCarthy Day XX updates, although I neglected to mention the walk home. With the obvious growth of my reputation comes the unwanted jealousy - McCarthy, Neil Kane and Peter Chapman were started on not once, not twice, but three times on Saturday night, every time for doing absolutely nothing. This is obviously a drawback that comes with being in the situation that I am in, and with this in mind I am considering hiring security, or making my children wear masks ala Michael Jackson. Steps need to be taken, but the threatening behavior of a minority of Burgess Hills citizens could drive me further away from the town I once loved. If anyone should see the people who began the trouble, who unfortunately I don't have photos of, then please feel free to punch them firmly in the groin. If you suspect it was them, without any prove, I also ask you to do the same. Thank you

Scott McCarthy Day XX was a roaring success, as McCarthy managed to share this monumental day in the history of Earth with his fans in both Cheltenham and Burgess Hill. Plans became slightly altered, as fans were given a shock and a treat when McCarthy ventured out ON his birthday for the first time in history. This saw him hit Cheltenham hard, with Strongbow being demolished before going out, with destination Wetherspoons. The evening ended when Cheltenhams Favourite Minor Celebrity made an appearance at the opening night of a new club in town, by which point he was extremely ruined. This, in turn, lead to his eventual ejection - a moment that will go down in history as I became the first person to be removed from the club

Saturday saw the Burgess Hill leg of the celebrations, which began in The Weald for the rugby world cup, before moving into town. This was an equally heavy session, which ended in two near fights on the way home. Naturally, all pictures will be on-line in the next few days for you all to remember the glory days

In other news, McCarthy has not really done much. University continues to plod along as expected, and on Friday I made my debut at Cheltenham Racecourse, coming away with a 2p profit at the end of the day. It was a joy to be mixing with the creme da monthe of our society, with loafers, tweed suits, cigars, golfing jumpers and monacle aplenty. I felt right at home in this mix of people, and naturally they felt right at home with me. The next meeting is in November, by which time I hope to have secured some more upper-class clothing from either Primark of the local charity shops - although this town does seem to be lacking them somewhat

Finally, as part of my course I am charged with keeping a news blog with my views on what is happening in the world around us. I will be requiring feedback on this via the comments option at the bottom of the page, so if you have a spare few minutes please take a look and leave something. Unfortunately, I have to delete anything offensive, which is a shame as I was hoping to cover the comments area with words such as rape and flid. You can visit her HERE

Happy Scott McCarthy Day XX to one and all! Yes listeners, it is that time of the year again when we come together, raise a glass and celebrate two decades of Scott McCarthy. While thousands across the world are wholeheartedly happy that McCarthy is here to celebrate another year, others are not - namely postman. While they claim to be on strike over pay and God knows what else, it is obvious to all concerned at the McCarthy Penthouse that it is because they simply cannot handle the sheer amount of male that would be directed towards Cheltenham this year, as is always the case when McCarthys Birthday comes around. Many fans have realised this, and your untouching generosity in the copious amounts of text and Facebook messages I have received have been welcomed warmly - so thank you fans

This years celebrations have been altered slightly from those in previous years, during which it seemed to consist of drinking as much as possible. Today, for example, I will take the time to meet with paritioners in the town centre, wander around and generally wow them with my presence. Tomorrow night, I will give my fellow University students a chance to come together and celebrate Scott McCarthy Day XX by spending an evening clubbing in fine Cheltenham, and then on Saturday night the traditional birthday drinks will be held in The Weald, during the Marathon of Sport. Next week and the celebrations continue, with McCarthy and Dan Collin attending a WWE Smackdown event in Manchester on Wednesday, before Thursday will see a day spent at the first race meet of the season at the racecourse, before next weekend a mass session taking place, once again in Burgess Hill

As you can see, there are as always copious amounts of events to get involved in to celebrate this milestone day, as I leave behind me the days of being a teenager, and Cheltenhams Minor Celebrity would hope to see as many of you as possible over the next two weeks

Well listeners, another week approaches its end as McCarthy Industries continues to spread its wings into the county of Gloucestershire. There really is very little to report, as McCarthy continues to do what your average university student does - drink copious amounts of alcohol, live on a diet that is dangerously unhealthy due to the intake of microwavable, fatty foods, do as little work as possible and spend peoples hard earned taxes on pointless yet neccesary items, such as George Foreman Grills and Primark dressing gowns. Many fans will remember Cheltenhams Favourite Minor Celebrities days as a yuppie, where he drank yuppie tea in the morning, and I am pleased to announce these days have returned. I find myself wandering around in my dressing gown, wearing my glasses, preaching to fellow students about issues of morality. Next in line to purchase would be a pair of slippers, and a decent pipe, maybe a chess set. I feel I become more cultured by the day, and with it comes a sense of responsibility to represent not only you, the good people of Sussex, but the people of my adopted county also

My next appointment with the people of Burgess Hill is scheduled to be on Friday 19th October, where I will be holding another miniaturised version of the McCarthy Industries Pub Golf. This will be in order to celebrate my 20th year, with a prequel event taking place for the people of Cheltenham the week before. More details will be released from the Penthouse in due course

Finally, I would like to take the opportunity to introduce my first pictures and sound clips from Cheltenham. Last Tuesday, McCarthy honored his fellow students by attending a beach party. This also coincided with the launch of Halo 3 for the X Box 360. The midnight launch saw a drunk McCarthy and young Alex Retter queue up at midnight in the town to purchase the game. The walk home would then see Alex lose his disk in the park, only to recover it. Unfortunately, as he sprinted towards home, he forgot to take into consideration that three concrete steps that are bizarrely positioned in the middle of a grassed area. Here, he attempts to explain what happened, and how is leg became to be in the mess it was

Listen to his take on the events, HERE. And finally finally, you may have noticed the 'Skype Me' button on the top right of the home page. This new feature allows any fan, anywhere in the world with access to the Skype Application to hold a conversation with McCarthy when he is on-line. This has already lead to some interesting chats with some Russians, and is proving an interesting feature. Once again, McCarthy Industries leads the way in interactive web browsing
