Strike Factory

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! :)

Come on you SEAGULLS still top! :)

Anyway not getting to carried away. Been a bit of a mixed last week otherwise! On the positive I have been enjoying a cooking course called Mister Chef which is run at Hazelwick School! It is run by some lovely women called the Impact Tasty Team they come from as far as France, Italy and South Africa. They teach mostly elderly local men, with me being the only young person! But I thought I would join to improve my primitive cooking skills! It seems at the moment I am the star of the show, helping out and playing a key role in cooking out of the guys! It really is beginning to make me realise I am better at cooking than I think I am. I should not be so shy in life! haha I have done home made soup! Plus Spaghetti Bolongase! (sorry for spelling needs editing I know!)

Onto the negatives I have little money which resulted in me being a little late for St Catherines Hospice, and slightly disapointing the wonderful flair Earl Grey tea drinking Zuzanna, then to top it off I had to walk home in the rain, getting soaked yesterday!

Finally a good former neighbour Ken who I rescued from the cold of a ditch about 2 years ago, sadly died from a long illness on Wednesday, he was a good neighbour who kept me upbeat during tough times at Camfield, and will miss him RIP Ken!

But next week will be more work experience, cooking with the Impact Flair Mistresses, pub quiz action with The Captains Table, and possibly REMF, and celebrating 23 years of Scott McCarthy!

Have to admit things have been slow and quiet in my life recently hence it took time to respond on this blog.

My search for a open door career wise continues, as the Albion sit proudly at the top of League 1.

I made my pub quiz debut at the Greyhound Inn, Tinsley Green (famous for World Marble Championships), and guided the Captains Table squad to just 3 answers off winning the quiz night but we won some red wine! It was hopefully the beginning of Mr Balls dominance of English pub quizs, and good perparation for the REMF quiz if anyone wants a spare player.

I will continue to keep an eye out for oppertunitys, whilst having to cope being skint this week. Thats life I suppose.

Up next my thoughts on vlogger Hannah Minx.
