This is absolutely laughable, a farrago of wikipedia and brown nosing.

Jack Russell v Dom Joly v Kath Kidson. Who's the most influential?

'Stirling-born Willie has been in the stud business for more than 40 years'

Congrats to the one who sneaked that into the article :P

Geoff Hurst is a northerner........Top 100 people who live here or who have lived here. I'm sure most towns could do this.

It's not available online, but the Milton Keynes Citizen had an article the other day about a lovely BNP protest against a proposed mosque in Bletchley that brought the community together and everyone had a lovely time and no-one said anything racist, honest. Might as well have been written by Dick Griffin himself.

They might be interested in the new localism bill. Draw a line on the map avoiding Muslims, form a neighbourhood and write a plan that no-one on the council can challenge.

Special mention i think today for our local T & A

After the conviction and sentencing of the 'crossbow cannibal' (its what he wanted to be called, and the media have naturally abliged :roll: ) our local rag carried 9 pages of analysis about the lunatic.

There's the fame he so much desired, well done T & A.
