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.

Chess ChampionI had my mention in the newspaper for becoming the Northumberland U18 Country Champion.
There were only 2 entrants, the other of which was half my grading level... we had to work out a way to make it look more convincing so out of 5 games, on the 3rd game (at 2-0), We agreed on a draw one move from me checkmating so that the scores would look more like a tough fight.
(Even got one of the games listed in the newspaper for people to follow, even thou we never actually played it, we just made it up afterwards, stealing the majority of it from a recent obscure grandmaster game so we'd look incredibly talented when people followed the game in the newspaper.)
