Local Celebrity To Be Flown In As Replacement On Dangerous TV Show

Dear all. I hope you’ll all start watching Channel 4′s dreadful programme The Jump, as my cousin Jack a Googoo will be appearing on it as of this week. Due to so many celebrities getting injured on the show and quitting Jack was offered a lot of money to be flown out to some snowy mountain and appear on the dangerous amateur ski jump programme. He will of course sing his covers of Kajagoogoo classics whilst flying through the air. And the producers didn’t seem that bothered that under normal circumstances he finds standing up difficult, so God knows what he’ll be like on ski’s? Anyway, it should make Channel 4 worth watching for once!

Thanks Nelly Ryde (Jack’s manager, ski instructor and shelf-stacker in 99p Land)

Local Shop Keeper Announced As New Top Gear Presenter

Hello. I just thought i’d let you know that the BBC has announced it’s hired local shopkeeper Matt Le Blanc to join their Top Gear televisual programme as a presenter. Mr Blanc, son of chef Raymond and a “resting actor” is of course best known in Beckworth as the owner of the Plonk De Le Blanc off-licence. Like many of our shopkeepers he took a second job, in his case performing bit-parts in television comedies, to get him through the recession and keep his shop open. Mr Matt will be joining the Top Gear next month alongside local mobile-DJ and hair salon owner Chris Evans and Beckworth’s famed blind driving instructor Mr The Stig. Good look to the boys, I hope the money made from their telly programme will help keep their local businesses afloat through these difficult times. Yours sincerely Valerie Saddleworth CBE. Chairlady. The Beckworth Guild of Trade & Commerce.

Improve Your Image Amongst Trendy Friends

Alright fans, how ya doing? Missing me being on TV I’ll wager? Don’t worry I’ll be back on soon. In the meantime i’ve got a nifty new business venture for you… Are you too scared to invite poncy veggie friends round for a slap up dinner ’cause you only keep frozen meat in the house? Maybe you’re intimidated by cocky mates who know the difference between King Edwards and Granny Smiths? Or don’t want to look like a right muppet down the pub as you’ve said you grow your own? Maybe, just like me, you lead too hectic a celebrity life to keep fresh groceries in the house but want to impress birds with your fruit salad when you get them home after 18 pints and a ruby (a curry). If the answer is yes then my new delivery service is for you… Greg’s Fruit & Veg Hire. Simply put, i’m offering to rent out (and deliver on me bike) bowls of overripe “organic” fruit, handfuls of greens (sprouts, cabbage etc) or sacks of sad-looking spuds by the hour… for up to 6 months at a time!!! I must be nuts but, for a bit of extra cash, i’ll even cover the stuff in mud so you can look like you know your way around an allotment (but without having to lift a (green) finger or get your trendy hands dirty). So why not give me a try and give your “metrosexual” self-sufficiency image a boost. You can even text through orders if you just can’t be arsed to phone or pop in person. So what you waiting for? Fill your home with borrowed foodstuffs today. Yours, Greg Wallace. Master Gregs the Grocers

Space Station Overhead Today

Breaking space-age news just in… Our very own locally trained astronaut Tim Peake will be going over the night skies of Beckworth later today so keep a look out in case he waves. Tim, the first Englishman in space, is relaxing on an extended holiday outside the Earth’s atmosphere on an old self-catering Russian space station. He told his Mum in a text-message that he hopes to back home in time for Easter; as he loves chocolate eggs but forgot to pack any. And he’s already run out of fags. I’ll keep you up to date on this “weightless” story as it happens. Christine Batley. Chief “You Wouldn’t Catch Me Up In Space” Correspondent. Beckworth Guardian Beckworth_Tim Peake

Come & Try Yoga In The Vestry

Hello my flock. Just to remind you that tonight I am launching yoga classes in the church for the over 18s. I have done a few days training with a Church of England Yogi (a yoga teacher) from the mystical east, Norwich, and am now fully qualified to teach Anglican positions. So come along and sample a few key moves such as Climbing The Mount Of Olives, Picking Fruit With Adam & Eve, Clambering Aboard The Ark and then Dowsing The Burning Bush. For more advanced movers I’ll teach The Upward Star and The Downward Parting Of The Waves, the Loaves & Fishes aka The Feeding Of The 5000 and The Father, Son & Holy Ghost Salutations. Then we’ll wind down and breathe easy with the Three Wisemen, a Water Into Wine and finish off with a Comfy Crucifixion and an Amen. See you at 7 for our first class, and please wear appropriate attire, bring a yoga mat and a large bottle of water.

May your God be with you, Cyril Knutsford. Vicar. Beckworth St Faiths
