Featuring the single greatest opening line in the history of journalism:

Genius.

Closed library flashback anger

Stolen fuel anger


Dorset Echo: Thieves make off wih fuel oil from coach yard

Police searching for very small robber. Perhaps some sort of mouse.

Bad e-fit


Waltham Forest Guardian: Man wanted for running over pregnant woman

This scrote thinks it's fine to steal cars and run over the owners. 0300 123 1212 if - by some miracle - you know him.

Two month old dog crap anger


Sunderland Echo: Campaigner's fury as dog crap piles up

Collect enough little bags of dog crap - WIN A DOG.

Top marks to those who tried to put an end to the problem by trying to set fire to the turds. Alas, turds - as a rule - do not burn.

Stolen hawk anger

Rubbish anger

Bus strike anger


Oxford Mail: Extremely miffed bus drivers to strike over pay

One of the rules of this blog is that I never mock anybody's physical appearance. So I ask: How, exactly, have they photoshopped this poor chap's head?

Roadworks anger


Bournemouth Echo: Angry shopkeep angry over gas main work

Holy Mother of God - what do they serve in this chap's eaterie?

Pleasing to see that the literal style of press photography has not died.

Dog crap anger


Dorset Echo: Villagers call for action over dog turds

Closer inspection shows that the dog warden is not pointing at turds as previously hoped. Photography FAIL.
