After the Action4MensHealth 5k race on Sunday I spoke with a reporter with the local paper on the phone who were covering the event as they were interested in the connection between me, my father-in-law and his surgeon who is also involved in the Action4MensHealth charity.
They asked a few questions, I said a few things and they took my race number as they had a photographer at the race taking snaps. They said that if it was going to be used, it’d be in Tuesday’s edition.
So we go into the local supermarket and grab a copy today and flip it open to be greeted with my ugly mug on page 11.
I like the fact that my name and photograph is now synonymous with having cold genitals.

If you were just skimming through the paper, you could easily be mistaken.

Nice.
You beat em all! with the power of the internet Quote: “The Prize for the most sponsorship raised was won by Mathew Mecham who raised nearly £400. Big thanks to Mathew.”
And nicely done for coming 29th

I plan to join a runners’ club this summer for health, the good causes, and the girls! (I’m a sad, desperate man…) However, if the whole US-based IPS Conference happens and there’s a fun-run at the same time, I think that’d be a really cool idea to merge the two.

Is it common for your local newspaper to have glaring grammatical mistakes? o_O
