Prisoner in own home ange-ARRRRGH!
Bournemouth Echo: 32-stone man trapped in house for eight years
FACT! American author Bill Bryson started his writing career at the Bournemouth Echo. If he were dead right now, he'd be spinning in his grave.
I mention this because the Echo published this story in both the Bournemouth Echo and the Weymouth-based Dorset Echo, and saved money by sending just the one reporter and photographer.
At some point in the proceedings, one thing must have led to another, the words "Go on, take yer top off" must have been uttered, and this happened:
Dorset Echo: 32-stone man trapped in house for eight years
Approximately 20,000 people in South Dorset are paying 32p to see this, and now - thanks to the miracle of the internets - so can you.
Let it go on record that I feel genuinely sorry for this chap, but really: *boilk*

Some stats:
33 journalist killed so far [in 2009].
30 journalists missing [in 2009}
760 journalists killed since 1992.
483 journalist murdered since 1992.
(Committee For The Protection Of Journalists - www.cpj.org)
Needless to say, none of the numbers above refer to English "journalists"...
As a journalist who nearly joined that list on at least one occasion - what's your point?
Boilk, indeed. Poor sod.

He looks eerily like Stuart Maconie.
