Why is the Grim Reaper hanging around street corners in Guildford?


The actual Grim Reaper! A FUMMIN BMW five series estate owner who has a private number plate! Poor, dead Spike Lee, who brought us the film Malcolm X-Men! It’s the best of Angry People in Local Newspapers from 13 November.

And don’t forget it’s just another two days before the APILN book published by Penguin hits the shelves. Order now to have it appear on your doorstep on publication day!

So much going on here, but we’re all about wearing his car coat indoors, and this magical quote:

“I am a Plympton man, I am well known in Plympton and I have a private number plate – I have a BMW five series estate.”

Just look at his happy little face!

Poor, dead Stan.


 

The Local: Paris commuters left furious as man with goat halts Metro traffic

That’s nothing, I once was a Yeti on the London Underground.
