The Crosby Herald
Aug. 2nd, 2004 10:54 amSee? Occasionally I do this thing known as "work." Specifically, I'm working for the Crosby Herald and rather enjoying myself so far. Well, I would be enjoying myself if I hadn't had less then four hours sleep last night. I'm doing that thing where I write the word that means the exact opposite of what I mean, which is not so good when you're writing up press releases. So far I've written some very boring stuff about tourism in the Northwest and some girl in Formby who's got a part in Grange Hill, and after lunch I'm going to conduct an interview with the new President of the Crosby Rotary Club. The relevant email has the subject "presidential photo." This amused me.
So, yes. It's all go here (note sarcasm) but as I said so many times when working for the Southport Visiter last year, it's a local paper and you really can't blame it for not being chock-full of happenings. The Herald is a smaller paper than the Visiter, even, and bears a passing resemblance to the Framley Examiner. The morning's highlights have included, among other things, a protest outside by the local Fathers For Justice pressure group, who were wearing purple, waving purple flags, dragging along a Rottweiler and a greyhound with purple ribbons round their necks and threatening to paint the office purple.
You can't make this stuff up.
Peter, who is in charge while the editor (also called Peter) goes to Euro Disney, was quite in favour of having the office painted purple but was sadly overruled. I'm just going to ring the Rotary Club President and then it's lunchtime for me, with some coffee and paracetamol if possible.
