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.

Still not sure whether to be proud of this or not
When I was in year 12 (I was 17), the paper my dad writes for approached me to do a story on my views on the war in Iraq. The Western Morning News isn't particularly known for its young readers, or those who aren't tory bummers, so when I wrote 2000 words with a distinctly left wing slant I actually managed to get letters of complaint printed. Plus they had to censor moleste sections of it due to the bashing I gave the government.
Never mind, I got paid £50 for it and submitted it for my A-level English coursework. Got an A. Haha.
