This is a question 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.

It's all Lies I tell you...........
In the past few years I have had stuffed printed about me which was a mixture of fact, fiction, and sheer bloody lies. Be warned, whenever you go to court to give evidence there will be there, sitting in the shadows no doubt, some clapped-out, dead-end Charlie of a journalist scribbling his Pitman's onto a pad and then creating a farcical result to which there is no reply, no response possible.

Take comfort, m'dears, that today's news papers are tomorrow's fish and chip papers. Time passes, and folks forget - but the internet - and Google, dammit, they hang onto it all for years and years and years. And if there is any comfort - you guys who seek immortality - you may appear in a Legal book, jurisprudence, case histories and the like. Pfft!
