Title: ..and in local news
Post by: TG on July 17, 2008, 12:37:27 PM
Yesterdays shaved goat article once again reinforced my irritation with local newspapers.

You know the sort of thing, at the bottom of page 7 is a small article headed "massive asteroid on collision course with earth" and on the front page "Man trips over goat" or similar.

There is no particular reason for me to feel this way and I'm not going to try explain it.

I shall simply share some exiting local news stories with you and perhaps you may wish to do the same for my benefit.

I therefore bring you.............















wait for it............................


























This is a good one..........













The crashed milk float!

And the most exiting line from the article : "One witness, who did not wish to be named, said: "The milk float was in the middle lane and this blue lorry was on the inner one, closest to the roundabout."

Brilliant.

Didnt wish to named? WTF?  point:
