Scotts Secret Diary - Mac Industries

Another weekend of fun and frolics was the name of the game for McCarthy, as myself, Tom Witham and Sam Upton graced Oxford with our presences on Saturday night. Despite the warnings of McCarthy's Oxford fans that O'Neils is the place to go if you want to get stabbed up, McCarthy and co managed to survive long enough to note the delights that this town famed for its university has to offer - namely a KFC that is open until 2am. With high fives all around and the thought of such an American idea being taken up on our septic isle, we tucked in. Unfortunately, this resulted in a rather disgusting sight in the toilet bowl of the McCarthy pad the next day, as indeed all of the salad from my twister meal passed straight through my body - whole - and into the pan. Unfortunately, I was too shocked by the lack of digestion to take a photo

Sunday saw me make my second appearance for Apperley & Tewkesbury Dymnamos Sunday team, and it also heralded a second win of the season. Naturally, the local press are hailing my return to Sunday football after over a years absence as the catalyst for this dramatic rise up the table, but I am keeping my usual level head on things by claiming responsibility for only one of the results. No point in getting big headed now, is there?

Scott McCarthy Day XXI approaches alarmingly close as we enter the month of October tomorrow, and details on how you can celebrate another milestone in the life of Burgess Hills Favourite Minor Celebrity will be made available at a later date.

After two weeks without the internet in the brand new McCarthy Pad, we are finally online thanks to the wonders of Virgin Media. There we go, the excuse for lack of updates is out of the way early this entry.

McCarthy is now back in Cheltenham until Christmas, which is good news for Gloucestershire residents and bad news for Sussex residents. University this year is taking a slight side note to the main issue that is the aim of McCarthy and fellow housemate Alex Retter, as we are attempting to visit every single licensed premises in the town. A massive task that has begun in earnest, with a current average of 2.5 pubs a week - something that is going to be needed to be improved if we are to reach our target

In other news, McCarthy was recently spotted on Sky Sports news dressed as a giant cockerel, as himself and Oli Wright undertook the task of parading the County Ground, Hove as the mascot of Cockspur Rum in order to be given £20 worth of free rum over the course of the cricketing evening. Unfortunately, McCarthy ended up stacking it when some young hoodlums took advantage of his slightly drunkern state, and used the classic technique of one kneeling behind, the other pushing to ensure I ended up on my tail. Like all good mascots, I did not lose my head though

Cheltenhams Favourite Minor Celebrity has also spent a small amount of time in Portsmouth recently, where he was joined by Zoe Emett and Bert Lloyd in visiting Robert Jones house. It was a fine stay, with a large amount of alcoholic consumption taking place and delightful visits to HMS Victory and a foreign land in the Isle of Wight

It has been a week of sheer hard work for Burgess Hills Minor Favourite Minor Celebrity. I have in the past week undertaken a week of work with the Sussex Express, Lewes local paper that is their version of the Mid Sussex Times. The most important pages in a newspaper are, as everybody knows, the front page, page three and the back page. While some journalists have to wait a long time into their journalistic career to see there name and story on one of these pages, McCarthy achieved it only 4 days into his first ever working week on a newspaper, with an interview with Lewes FC manager Kevin Keehan

As if being a Burgess Hill Minor Celebrity and having a video of myself topless eating peanuts viewed by in excess of 88000 people, I have now added the people of Lewes to those whom I can consider touched by the abilities of McCarthy

On Saturday night, myself and Luke Vick had an interesting evening in Jacobs Post, as we exited the bar at closing time to find a couple of dead rabbits being beheaded in the back of a truck, before being thrown across the street by various members of the public. Eventually, one man had seen enough and confiscated the rabbits, throwing them into a small, bricked off area outside Lloyds TSB and then proceeding to stand guard over them. One of the more surreal moments in the history of Burgess Hill night life, and one that Luke Vick describes in full audio glory HERE

And just incase the full impact of this surreal moment hasn't registered with you, here are some images of what was witnessed:


People gather either side of the street outside Jacobs Post as the rabbits go flying across the road	This large man was responsible for the confiscation and protection of the rabbits

After going for a kebab, McCarthy and Vick wandered back home via the scene of crime, where the rabbits were now unguarded	A shocking scene if ever there was one

My work experience continues in vein this week, before the long-awaited return to Cheltenham in two weeks time. Exciting times
