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.

Brighton's Evening Argus...A few years ago, my sixth form college had a charity event where we raised all of about £1200 for the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital in Brighton. Anyway, Mike and the Mechanics where playing in town that night and the hospitals' PR person managed to arrange for us to get Mike Rutherford (The 'Mike' who hangs around with his mechanics, for those who have taste) to hand the cheque over for us. As I was part of the team who organised the event, I had to be there. The photographer for the Argus took the worst possible picture of me (we didn't have a lot of money at the time and my hair was awful) ever, and it got printed. As far as I'm aware, the picture is still in the year head's office to this day..
Oh, and Mr Rutherford thought I was a girl and tried to give me a kiss with all the other girls who had to come along. He realised, fortunately, before it was too late!
(And if anyone knows about the Argus I call it the Brighton Evening Argus cos it doesn't print anything about the rest of the county!)
