<b>GOOOOD ACTUAL AFTERNOON! Another Scott Mills review to kick start the month. Hope you like reading it? Also not long to go until Celebrity Scissorhands, can’t wait.

Afternoon Banter</b>

Scott has a cold (man flu) but doesn’t like to talk about it.

Chappers: ‘You don’t like to moan about it. You first texted me at 6:50 this morning

to tell you weren’t feeling very well.’

Scott: ‘Well I wasn’t.’

Chappers didn’t get bothered by any trick or treaters last night while watching the football. Scott got a lot of trick or treaters at his house and he gave them one sweet each. He thinks Halloween isn’t Halloween anymore and thinks it’s about devil worshipping and stuff. Scott says it’s like the meaning of Christmas – it’s all about Santa and presents. He would like to see some people maybe dressed as a witch or a warlock or something a bit frightening. When Scott was on the main road to where he lives he saw two men dressed as spacemen. Also, he saw someone dressed as Mickey Mouse yesterday. Scott wants to know where the true meaning of Halloween is. His mum told him Halloween was about devil worshipping every year. Claire rang up saying ‘when she used to live in America, she went to a Halloween fancy dress party and there was a girl dressed as a lobster and a man dressed as a cow.’ Kirsty rang up saying ‘she was in Belfast the other day and there were two men dressed as a salt and pepper pot.’

<b>Causing Trouble</b>

Chappers started stirring up trouble. George who does newsbeat is getting married on Saturday. On Monday night George invited Scott and Chappers for drinks after the wedding. She told Chappers she was drunk when she asked them and she didn’t mean it. So Chappers is putting 50p in the collection. But it’s all fine; Scott and Chappers are staying for drinks but not going to the disco.

<b>A Man and His Dog</b>

A girl called Karen e-mailed Scott about her problem: a nightmare dog. Her fiancé Stefan is absolutely obsessed with a dog that they got in January and ever since her life has gone downhill. Stefan shares the bed with the dog, she wakes up in the middle of the night and Stefan and the dog are spooning each other. Karen can be hanging off the bed in the middle of the night; she rolls over and puts the light on to find Stefan in the middle of the bed and the dog the other side. The dog likes to have on arm under Stefan and one arm over him and she licks his face and toes. They bought some expensive steaks and marinated them. Karen went into another room, she went back in the kitchen when she thought the steaks were ready and her steak was in the dog’s bowl. Stefan spends all his money on the dog. He buys her huge dog bones, cuddly toys (the dog has more cuddly toys than a 4-year-old little girl) and state of the art blankets for her bed. Karen has even thought of selling the dog many times. Chappers thinks all dogs are evil. Karen’s sister rang up to tell more of the story. Karen and Stefan have a £900 photo in one of their rooms. Because they have just moved in together they decided to have a portrait done and the man asked if they have any pets. Around the outside of the picture are 6 pictures of Karen and Stefan and in the middle one big picture of the dog. The dog got a rash on her stomach and he sent the dog a get well soon card which had to be put on the mantelpiece. When Stefan goes away he leaves messages on the blackboard that Karen has to read to the dog. One of the messages was ‘I love you I miss you and I’ll see you soon.’ The dog also tries to get it on with Stefan’s leg.

<b>More Stuart</b>

Stuart was on again with another of his stories involving a girl being dumped. This girl was very attractive but it turned out she was an all round bad egg. The girl was useless and she watched to much daytime TV. Stuart took her to ‘An Evening with Ronan Rivron. Ronan was talking about a ‘Ronan Rivron Sandwich’ which is 2 slices of white bread with margarine and cheese. The girl wasn’t enjoying herself at all and Stuart suspected that soon he would be dumped. She would spoil his TV viewing because she watched Neighbours in the day and Stuart watches it in the evening. The girl would text Stuart and tell him what happened so in the end he wouldn’t watch it. Stuart dumped the girl in the end.

<b>Another of Scott’s Favourite TV Shows</b>

Prime Suspect is Scott’s new favourite TV show and he only saw the last episode ever. On Sunday Scott went to 2 big record and video music stores. But he was too embarrassed to go in the shop. Scott asked his flatmate the comedian to go up to the counter and ask if Prime Suspect was available as a boxset on DVD. In a couple of day’s time it’s available – so now he’s got to wait.

<b>Scott on Newsround</b>

A lot of people this afternoon seemed to be watching Newsround while listening to Scott. Everyone spotted Scott on Newsround and he was talking about Kevin Federline.

<b>Lap Dancing Club</b>

A man in a lap dancing club in Cheshire text in saying ‘that there CD player is broken so there listening to radio 1. This means every time they talk, the dancing stops. So Scott and Chappers kept talking longer. I don’t know how the girls would dance to some of the songs. The lap dancing club ended up changing stations to Key 103 and there were adverts on there now.
