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.

When i was younger
I used to write for our local rag. I was about 14 and did it through the school to keep the community abreast (titter) of all the things we werent doing in our shitty high school.
One of the choice moments was an interview with a teacher who had "amusingly" dressed himself as a clown/paedophile for chariddee and finished with the line "Im sure the first years are aching for your entry"
Also an interview with Edwin Morgan (at the time poet laureate af scotland) was inadvertantly cut short when i admitted i thought his stuff was pretentious shite. Think he also heard me call him Jobby Teeth as i being ushered out of the room. Ah well, you win some...
apologies for length and dullness.
