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.

Not really sad stuff...but it depends on your outlook. I was photographed with John Craven after i entered a fancy dress competition he was judging in the early 80's. They had to catch me for the photo because as he was giving me some sort of runner up prize (a travesty, my Jiminy Cricket was a raving success) i cried in his face and ran away.
I was also snapped with with Darth Vader in the toy dept in Co-op around the same time. He was holding my little brother up in the air and i was poisoniously jealous of him for being the centre of attention as usual. My mum bought me Lando Calrissian to make up for it.
I was also snapped like a twat proudly showing off a model of HMS Belfast that i'd made out of toilet rolls. This was about the same time too. I was the darling of the local press.
