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.

Awful photos
I appeared in my local paper looking like a total moose on several occasions:

1) When playing "sexy" (ahem) nurse / chorus girl in O!What A Lovely War! at school. I'm not the thinnest of people so the locals of Stourbridge and the surrounding area were treated to a view of my ample thighs, arse and boobs in fishnet tights, leotard and frock coat. Got the piss taken out of me for weeks. Yuk.
2) When I got into Oxford, I had to have a dumb picture taken in the library pretending to look studious so hence looked a complete twat.
3) I was interviewed on Central News as well, when our Brownie pack was conned into collecting bar codes off stuff to pay for dialysis machines. Cue me in horrendous Brownie uniform, booming in a Brummie whine "We collected bar codes of stuff loike Kitekat (???) and that, yeahhhhhh". Oh the ignominy...
