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.

Oh no, not again...
I was in the local paper more times than I can honestly remember, and it was always the same photographer, an old creepy guy. Nothing very exciting happens round our way obviously. Mostly it was things the school had made me do. Here are a few shining examples:

- Sitting in a hip bath aged six wearing Victorian clothes with a lad from my year because it was Victorian Day or something

- Dressed as the Wicked Witch of the West and pulling an evil face for the school's production of the Wizard of Oz

- Maypole dancing

- Languages Day - I will admit I didn't mind this one as I was wearing an identical costume to a girl in my year who really loved herself (French maid, for the record). You can see how angry she is about having her thunder stolen in her evil slitty eyes. Petty, moi?

The supreme irony is the paper took me on for work experience when I was 16.
