This is a question Look! It's me in the Local Paper

Most local papers will print any old rubbish. Far, far too many years ago I got into the Windsor, Slough and Eton Express after winning a fancy-dressed-bicycle competition. What they neglected to mention was that I was the only entrant.

What sad stuff have you been in your local rag for doing? Scan stuff in and show us if you can.

Not local to me
When I was at the Reading Festival for the weekend in 2001 me and a couple of crusty mates (it was the Saturday and we'd been sitting in the fields since Thursday) were wandering off to the town.
Along bobbles two ladies, one with a camera and the other with a proper reporters notepad.
Ask if we want to appear in the local on the tv page with a quote saying what tele programme we like bestest at the moment and why.
Mate1: Futurama. Is funny.
Mate2: Simpsons. Is amusing.
Me: Newsnight. Up to date and informative.
How amusing I am.
Even had mugshots taken. Covered in skank and 3 days growth. Not seen the paper. It was the Reading Observer or some such crap.
