Do you have a more trivial story than this one?

carrust....have you ever been to Ainsdale? Well it IS news, the place is that boring.

We passed through there one afternoon and it was closed.

Squid. I only go over to the 'darkside' when I have too. Having your brain removed can seriously damage your health!

My local paper once had the front page headline of

Woman slightly injures ankle tripping over

I was shocked it didn't make the nationals ;-)

That sofa story is hilarious because it so trivial.

This one is just funny, full stop.

A guy on a stag night tries to climb over the locked gates up at the Station ... slips ... and impales himself ...

... which tends to put a bit of a dampener on the rest of the evening.

Why did he want to get into the Station? It was closed.

If you look down the page, you'll see one contributor referring to The Argus by its "affectionate" local nickname ... the ArseGas.

Just reading your answer brings tears to my eyes JJ.

I daren't click on the link!

Panic ...

One of the comments sent in by a reader says ...

"Good - I hope that it hurts"

Well, the guy was impaled on the railings. I think it's safe to say that it hurt!

Inevitably, that reader lives in Hove.

(sorry, I mean "Hove, Actually").

I worked with a lady called McCabe when I was a trainee sales manager in Broardbents of Southport in 1977, she was on Linens.

Ainsdale is quite posh and so I guess it's not just about the blindness of Sefton Council employees is it?

I used to go to the nightclub in Ainsdale with the tree growing thru the middle, and I don;t mean Toad Hall.
