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.

Caught out spectacularlyWhen I was a kid, we lived near Newcastle and for two years running we had a go at the Great North Bike Ride. It's 30 miles with a bloody great big steep hill in the middle of it. Most people walk up said hill, rather than attempt to cycle. But not my brother, or so he claimed. "I rode all the way up," he said for weeks after the 'event'. Then, one night the local rag publish a pull-out 'special' of the Great North Sporting Festival. Front page photo is of cyclists WALKING their bikes up the hill. And who is that? Oh, that would be my brother too.
