Okay, I live in a small village in the county of lancashire England. Its a way from anywhere. Its as boring as hell and now I have something to prove it. The headline of our local paper:

"Mawdesley Church Cuts Lawn Mowing Costs"

Is that news? Or Is That News? [img]tongue.gif[/img] Ah well, I suppose its better than "Crack dealing rapist escapes prison" ;)

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROFLMAO!

Can you post the rest of the aricle? I'm intrigued ;)

Well I didnt actually buy the article... I was out of change... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Wha? When did my mom get out?

Hah, got you beat. In my small village far away from the major cities of the Netherlands, the best headline so far was:

"Man falls from bicycle"

Appearantly, it was nothing serious either [img]smile.gif[/img]

Now if the headline had been "Crack dealing Rapists goes to Prison" that would have made an unbelievable article.

NO way :eek:

Hmm, that's quite sad, yes... I know how you feel; I remember reading the news of two locals (father and son methinks) placing first and seccond in some norwegian championship of plowing (bet they were the only contesters btw)...

LMAO Leggy!!! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Good to know that I'm not the only one in a boring place [img]tongue.gif[/img] May have to put this to the vote ;)

I had...
"Pensioner has trike stolen"

You can read all about my village on:

I advise you to take a look at the "Dialect" Page and take note that its all B*ll*cks. None of us speak like that ;)

Yes, it's true. This was... oh, seven months ago. Just the fact that I still remember readong it shows how much of a shock it was (to see your local newspaper write about stupid things like that).
It couldn't have been front page news. I hope. Can't remember that much...

Most boring place i've lived is in this ghost town in Northern Alberta called Indian Cabins, spent a summer up there and went up to either Hay River or High Level on days off.. boorrrrrrrrring..

Oh not only was mine front page news, It was on the billboard outside the post office!! :D :D

I have the KING of Boring headlines...

"New speedbumps planned at intersection"

This was in my local paper this winter... [img]smile.gif[/img]

My thought was... I have to move... [img]redface.gif[/img]

LOL! I've just realised. If you go on the http://www.mawdesley-village.co.uk site and go to the dialects page. If you go down to the word Buttery, it refers to my house "The Pantry".. LOL. Useless info, but just if you wanted to know ;)

LOL HEHEHE at least your town is big enough for a newpaper. Mines not [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well the Paper covers a few villages. It just seems that there was nothing more interesting than this in all of the villages [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Dammit! why do i have to live somewhere interesting like the outskirts of london. its always "crack addicts did this" and "young thugs beat up that" in my paper. why can't i ever have something boring like "mayor bought pond, whole town in uproar over whether he should buy green or blue gnome".

When my local newspapers have nothing interesting/useful to fill the page, they put a headline such as "There is a great fog in London again!", and it is followed with a completely gray "picture" which represents "fog" [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] .
(there is no noteworthy fog in London, of course)

ROTFLMFAO

well, at least that is better than my town's paper. over here we have the headlines like " [insert people name ]'s cat dramatic rescue from tree " and it usually get full front and second page covery. It get that long because they include the cat history, the interview with the fireman who rescue the cat, the interview with the cat;s owner, neighbour's feeling about the cat or even passerby feeling towards the incident. sheshhh!!

<font color=white> I always get things like ''Guy got shot 3 time's with pen-gun in local discotheek'' and ''Family murderd due to rivalry in Playstation II games'' eeehhh okay [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] .

I live in a semi-major city called Dordrecht (near Rotterdam), in Holland.

I know what it is to live in a small crappy village (I know how it is to live in a farm with the nearest neighbours 3 kms away... nearest town 24 km, South of France... somewhere (middle of nowwhere actually :D ))

I can attend both (actually 3) side's
- Small village (population count got stuck when it hit 150)
- Farm... in the real ''middle of nowhere''
- Major city, with a supermarket at every corner (includig a crack ho)

</font>

LOL, that's pretty funny [img]tongue.gif[/img]

When I first moved to a small town, the headline was "Window Broken With Brick." [img]tongue.gif[/img]

i live in a city that is why i dont have those kinds of "boring headlines". still very funny :D

LOL. Ah well. I Suppose boring Headlines are better than MDK's [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Where I live, it is so boring, that people don't bother with newspapers.
Beat that for boring.
I bet noones ever heard of it.
Small place in the A**e end of Gillingham.
Hehe

Actually, I've heard of Rochester-my mates and I came close to accidently trashing your cathedral on a school trip :D

<font color="#ffccff">In my book, untill you spend 18 months on an arctic Island (Adak) that is 5 miles long by 3 miles wide, you haven't been bored ;) we only had 1 radio station and 1 television station...Armed Forces Radio and Television [img]smile.gif[/img] They broadcast from 8am untill 8pm....spent a LOT of time in the Gym there. </font>

Depends on which Rochester. There's one in New York (where I live), there's also one in Minnisota, and there may be one's elsewhere.

Yeah, but he said "Gillingham" which is a miserable lil town with an ice skating rink being the only redemable feature :D

LOL, what a sad comment. hehe

I live in a village and we iether get booooring front pages "Outrage! school closes!" , "Coucillor talks BS again" etc. Or better ones "Youth steals car" which leads into a report of how they stole a car and went for a ride for a while being chased, same guy incindetally is a psycho- tried to kill his brother with a potatoe peeler, multiple joy ridings and stealings and some more. "Some people knifed" every few weeks too, usually in buches. And ones about old people who let people in and loot their homes.

This threat is hillarious :D
ROFLMAO because of all your great headlines ;)

Yikes!! I was gonna enter my town of Lompoc Ca but I changed my mind after reading the last few posts...I'm sorry Lompoc!

I don't live in Rochester.

Depends on which Rochester. There's one in New York (where I live), there's also one in Minnisota, and there may be one's elsewhere.</font>[/QUOTE]I think he's talking about the real one, in Kent.

Not the American one where you US people ran out of imagination for place names [img]tongue.gif[/img]
