The guy behind it makes and publishes loads of prank calls using a different name each time.

Most of them are absolutely vile and/or cringe worthy. The adrenaline comes across quite prominently in his voice, he frequently mixes up his words, clearly doesn't predict what the victim is likely to say and how to respond if they do, forgets what he's said, etc.

I do like 'TV Repair Man' though. The ones where they twig that it's a wind-up are good. The rest are just horrible.

So, my local rag had the headline 'SAVE OUR HEROES' on Friday, relating to fireman. My local newspaper shop thought it would be a good gag to put them next to the boxes of Cadbury Heroes.

After argument with his sister, man shoots dead her donkey.

Wonder if any local newspapers will be holding this story off the front page?

The local evening paper has decided that it will "re-brand" the locality of it, by giving the local news a new name, "News Extra", where they basically list most areas of our town, trying to give the illusion it is more of a local newspaper.

A really unfortunate case.

If he were really up to his balls in cowdung, I find it hard to believe he'd be bothering with tissues to clean up his goo.

That report is restrained, I've heard details from one of the Officers at his second arrest.
