"A site for sore eyes" says journalist with sore eyes...

Renoir's Bloke Smoking Carrot is one of the many
valuable works of art on display in the cultural town of Petersfield

Life in Petersfield magazine has launched an investigation into how Petersfield Newswire has been nominated for recognition in the publication’s annual community awards.

The spoof news website is on a shortlist of three for the arts and entertainment award – a decision which shocked the magazine’s deputy editor, Ed Vertisement.

He said: “I suspect foul play here as how a largely irrelevant and unfunny website such as Petersfield Newswire can be more popular than some of the other candidates in a town with such a cultural pedigree is beyond me.

“Look at some of the worthy groups and facilities who have been left off the list. There’s that bloke in the shiny suit who turns up to the opening of a crisp packet; that young stand-up comic lady with the downmarket magazines at the top of Rams Walk; and the town’s world-renowned gallery of Comedy Club signs.

“All of these are far more worthy than a website – it doesn’t even carry advertising for heaven’s sake!”

Other groups and events who have expressed disappointment at being omitted from the list include the Petersfield Philharmonic Orchestra, a touring production of Chekhov’s little-known play Uncle Vanya Visits a Farmers’ Market, Owen’s Ring Cycle Shop Operatic Society, Bojangles School’s exhibition of business-class gap-year air tickets, a bloke called Keith who can play La Marseillaise on a 19th century copper kettle and the hilarious South-West Trains timetable.

A spokesman for Petersfield Newswire, who was prepared to be known only as Jeffrey Archer, admitted: “It came as a shock to us too. We didn’t realise anybody actually read our stuff. There has been a suggestion that residents of Bordon have been voting in order to subvert the awards but I have many family members in Bordon and I refute the allegation that any of them have voted more than eight times each.

“Obviously we’re delighted to be nominated if we win; if we don’t win, we’ll just dismiss it as a meaningless piece of corporate chicanery designed to make people feel valued. We suspect it will probably be the latter.”

Voting for the Life in Petersfield community awards arts and entertainment category has now closed. Any votes you make now will not be counted but you may still be charged through the nose, particularly if you visit Waitrose or the farmers’ market.

    In the following scenario where the identity thieves provide you with
    your own personal information it is easy to see how one
    can be fooled. Google's new one-stop privacy policy is a worry to some Internet users and many deleted their browser histories before the switch.

  2. This drinking game is most prevalent in parties for excitement purposes as well as bets.
    Storyboarding is also required through digitization or fiction courses.

    Kicking the nearest ball is only allowed then distance between balls more than half of
    the radius of a ball.

  3. Once the game is 80% complete you will need to work on the sound. Then came the ultra-popular Arkham games, that place you, like never before, into Batman's shoes as he skulks around and knocks hoodlums heads together (literaly). It can go as far as ruining their experience since it is the last interaction they have with a game.

  4. Two family members will join together to increase their power, focus on another family member, convince each other they are right, and manipulate the family system.
    Since family daycare homes are run inside of the residence of the provider, they
    tend to be more flexible with parents who have
    unpredictable work schedules. The best time to prepare and stay on course during budgeting is to include an extra savings
    account in the budget and contribute to it on a monthly basis.

  16. Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform
    you're using? I'm looking to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking
    for something unique. P.S Apologies for being
    off-topic but I had to ask!
