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.

Nophotos, sadly, but my entire English 'O' level class (at a supposedly posh school) made the local papers over some amateur dramatics-related pranks. Our class got sent to see some hopeless amateur company putting on one of the plays we were doing, but thanks to the hilarious workings of rotas, the two most ineffectual teachers in the school got sent to oversee the most frightening classes in the year. Cue much heckling from the stalls and general rowdiness... which eventually built up to firecrackers being thrown on the stage (this was Belfast in the mid-80s, and one of the cast of the play was a judge, whose armed bodyguards were presumably gibbering wrecks by the end of things) and parts of the lighting rig being torn down during the performance. Not only did it make the papers, our school got banned from every theatre in Belfast as a result...
Apologies for radius.
