Don't like to get involved in celeb slagging but the cover story of the Scottish newspaper "The Courier" had me chuckling yesterday.
Headline was "Fisherman Caught In Park With Crossbow"; with a secondry headline, "Accused says he took tips from Bear Grylls show before packing for trip."
He appeared in court as he'd be detained in a local park in the small hours of the morning in July with a crossbow, wig, latex gloves, locking saw blade and a quantity of methadone.
During questioning he said that they were suggested in the manual. The wig was to keep him warm as it's cold up here in Scotland (he's from Plymouth). He also had cotton wool for tinder and a balaclava also to help him keep warm. He was on his way north to join a scallop fishing boat it's claimed.
He was reported to the police by a couple out "feeding ducks" at 3am in the park and that he behaved in a threatening manner.
The trial continues.
There's obviously other issues here but it did bring a bit of a smile to my face and I actually bought a paper which I tend to avoid doing these days.
I'll keep you all posted on the outcome.
