Strike Factory

As people may have noticed I am starting to drift the site away a little bit from just diary entrys and now adding a random article on some strange random facts from around the world! The diary entrys like this will remain though. In truth the last two weeks have been a little quiet apart from the work experience and resuming the cooking course!

There will be a new Strike Factory Quote Of The Year competition and there are currently two entries I would like to nominate Sarah Steeples for her 'Do they make porridge?' in reference to the Quaker House that Strike Towers used to be based close to! The other is a surprise challenge from Woking manager Graham Baker for his comment pre penalty interview 'My players will close our eyes and hope for the best' and the Cardinals did just that against the Seagulls! Its up to the public to decide who wins by posting comments here or on facebook!

I have been addicted to old skool computer games from the old Sega Mega Drive (Genesis for my North American fans) the last few weeks, using an emulator and enjoying the likes of Sonic, Mortal Kombat 3, and Super Fantsy Zone! Dont make games like that anymore!

Well apart from the Albion going clear by 8 points not a lot has happened. Been doing work experience as usual, and the cooking course. Still got plans to go to Lewes on Friday, will try and get a few photos for people here.

Meanwhile this will come as a shock to some the real reason Elena Dementieva is retiring, is that she is due to get married to me. We plan to move to a nice big house just outside Burgess Hill. I wanted her to still play and tried in vain to talk her out of retirement. :jester:

Apologys for the slight neglect of this blog 17 days! Mind you there are certain notable blogs and forums that have gone quiet in this time of recession recently!

Anyway I was honoured to be a part of McCarthys XIII birthday celebrations guests included a range of other minor celebritys including NSP founder Steve Valder, Splash FMs Nick Osborne. There was my disapointing pool performances and someone pointing out how much I looked like the great Englishman the Duke Of Wellington himself, which I was honoured! Scott McCarthy decided to not quite do as many pubs in Brighton (with Basketmakers, Lord Nelson and Duke Of Wellington being the main ones) as he had done in his 2006 birthday pub crawl of all Burgess Hill pubs (including the now burnt down and demolished Junction Inn RIP), but somehow McCarthy ended up in a bigger state than the previous ones! He ended up doing all kinds of exciting activitys that got people around curious what the legend was up too! Some of which would go on all day including having to wear a nappy and being a victim of people like Andy Rumble pouring all kinds of alcoholic liquid down it! Eventually McCarthy struggled to move at Brighton Station gaining attention for his trousers falling that attracted the attention of a cop that described him as extremely intoxicated, thanks to Mark Potter and Oli, McCarthy made a safe journey home on the train despite carrying his random cheers, chants and conversations with strangers before being left to make the long walk from the Station back to McCarthy Towers!

Apart from work experience the cooking course directed by the wonderful Phoenician Lady teacher, I have had to be careful with the pennys which resulted in me not being able to attend Brightons 4-0 RAPE of Charlton on Saturday with them still top of League 1 and becoming the most fashionable football club to follow possibly in the world at the moment! Meanwhile I plan to blitz a series of job agency websites this week continuing the never ending quest of work! There is Halloween and Bonfire Night coming up soon and I hope to make an appearance at the great scenes of the County Town for the East Of Gods County Lewes Bonfire Parade! Hopefully things can get better! :)
