Why I hate …. The local newspaper. What is the point of local newspapers? They are usually full of boring articles which usually consist of some old bastard whining about what the town was like 50 years ago and how much better of we were back then, when under constant attack from Hitler & friends. Add to this ridiculous articles which are reports about local businesses but are no more than glorified adverts, endless car adverts and the worst, even more specific local news based stories about car boot sales and other such shit. The sport pages of our local paper pay testament to the fact the local teams are amateur monkeys unable to win jack, the 4 page pull out 'supplement' even makes a big deal of under 14 football leagues and obscure village cricket teams, like I give a shit!?
But all this pales in comparison to the reader's letters section. The postbag features local crackpots with nothing better to do than write about their boring life. The classic example from our secret local town is our derelict open air Art Deco swimming pool. Now by all agreement it is a piece of excrement, thus most sane people would suggest knocking it down being that open air pools went out in the 19th century, even the Roman's had the good sense to build their bath houses indoors. But what do we find in the postbag? We find endless letters by stupid people asking the council to spend four million pounds of my fucking tax money to renovate this 'attraction'! They seem unable to grasp that its only ever warm enough to use it about two weeks in the year and thus is economically unviable, this is no doubt the reason it was closed down to begin with. In conclusion I believe I have built a strong case for my hatred of the local paper and urge viewers to boycott these rags.
