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.

Scout Boss Behind Sick Internet Game !Local News ? Pffft !
I've been pilloried by The News OF The World. I was running a Dead Pool at the time (1999)and the NOTW contacted me wanting to run a humorous feature on their technology page. I should have smelled a rat, but lo and behold, the NOTW did a full hatchet job, branding the DDP as "The Sickest Site On The Internet". Yeah, sure.
Rumour has it that some Prostitute Cards appeared in phone boxes with the relevant journalist's mobile phone number soon after. But I can't confirm.
(Coincidentally, there's an article on the DDP on a BBC site today ! A bit less inflammatory...)
