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.

Ooh twice!The first time I was in the paper I was in the Craven Herald (the local for Skipton), my mum was doing the craft fair in the town hall there, i went to try the raffle in one of the other rooms.
I bought a ticket, and I lost... but wait! What's this, a smiley gentleman comes over and passes me a toy and tells me to hold it and the ticket to the camera. Jolly grinning me, aged oooh.. 5? Thinking I'd won, face put in the paper with my name spelled wrong (ITS SEAN, NOT SHAUN). Shortly after, asking if I could keep the teddy and having it cruelly taken away from me.
Bastards.
Second time, there was a community project thing called Lifestyle back in about 98ish 9with prizes for the best projects) We renovated a large area of wasteland into pretty gardens (big titchmarsh-whupping project) and got our pics taken with worktools etc way before the thing was finished
Cue a molestely pixellated photo of me and my friends, looking somewhat mutated, grinning inanely in front of what was basically a field with nothing in it.
We lost to a bunch of girls who did a play.
Not in the least bit bitter, not in the least bit bothered about the size of this post.
