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.

Many A Time
My first appearance in he local paper was when i won a beautiful baby contest in 1982.
My next few appearances were with my primary school football team because we kept winning things.
Then things got better, i hit the national sunday papers - the people, mail on sunday, news of the world i can definately remember. Anyway it was when Gary Linekers kid had cancer. Spurs were playing at Highbury and i was in the junior gunners section with my mates. A brother and sister had made a moleste banner wishing Linekers kid all the best and were right at the front. As usual me and my friends pushed to the front to get the best view. Unknowingly to us we was behind said banner. All of a sudden a photographer asked me if the banner was mine. yep was my answer. So there i was back page of the sunday papers, praised for my generous spirit proving how love and goodness can conquer local football rivalry. I am front centre looking retarded with my bowl head hair cut and putting my thumb up while the makers were out of focus back left.
These days i get paid to appear in crappy teenage girly magazines making some daft poses but oh well. Also 'starred' in a few great advertisements that i would rather forget.
My highlights though are going to film premieres (having ticket or blagging) and walking up the red carpet having hundreds of pictures taken of me, without the fools realing who i am not. I have been snapped with some pretty cool people too. Hooray for free alcohol and silly food though.
Edit: Just remembered I was also in top of the pops magazine, because i used to go out with Alison Potter from that shite girl band Vanilla.
