Look! It's me in the Local PaperMost 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.

Isle of Wight Youth OrchestraA supposedly gifted musician, I won alot of cups in competitions playing the piano, but as a spotty 4ft something teenager I used to clang the cymbals in the percussion section of said orchestra - with Mark King from Level 42, just to namedrop. I remember the piece of music - it only had one clang throughout the whole piece, and it was cruicial I got it right. Who writes about cymbalists ? Cue some wanker of a reporter who must have watched me - local rag wrote :
"Under such good guidance the orchestra produced both technique and enthusiasm: not least, the utter concentration shown by the miniscule and captivating cymbalist. If we all counted as carefully as she did, the world would be a better place"
I failed maths and a bunch of other exams at school, so just goes to show I can't count, and what's worse, is that I'm now an accountant.
