THE readership of the
Daily Echo may soon
include distant lifeforms
as a snippet of
Southampton news has
been transmitted into
deep space.
The article was sent hurtling
across the universe at 6.07am
yesterday and has already left
our solar system travelling at
670 million miles per hour.
The story that will be travelling
through space forever is
that of off-duty nurse Pammy
Modelly, who came to the rescue
when her neighbour's two-yearold
son stopped breathing.
It was transmitted into deep
space as part of a project by Sent
Forever that aims to "eternalise"
everyday heroes.
The Daily Echo article highlighted
Pammy's quick thinking
in giving Matthew Wing oxygen
and a cardiac massage, helping
to save his life.

His mum Donna Taylor, who
lives next door to Pammy in
Mosaic Close, Thornhill, said: "I
am really glad they have chosen
to send that story up to recognise
what Pammy did. She
deserves that and so much more.
"She really deserves a medal,
not just for what she did but for
her whole manner - she is a genuinely
wonderful person. It is
people like Pammy who make a
community."
Pammy said: "I'm very flattered.
I had no idea they could
send stories into space like this.
"To be honest I'm just glad I
was able to help Matthew - I
think Donna has thanked me
everyday since."
The story was converted into a
digital format at BT's Goon Hilly
earth station in Cornwall where
a radio dish sent it into space in
the form of radio waves.
Chief imagineer of Sent
Forever, Chris Thomason, said:
"We want to send these stories
into space so one day in the
future if someone reads them
it will show all that is good
about mankind.
"It is a way of eternalising
people who don't make big
headlines but have done
something special - an everyday
hero."
The company, which was set
up in January to transmit greeting
messages into space, has
selecting stories from a dozen
regional papers to go up.

Owing to some of the postings that appear on here daily I have my suspicions that Aliens are already amongst us.

Thanks to Sent Forever for drawing my attention to this "Daily Echo". Having read some of the articles I believe I've now found an ideal dumping ground for two spaceship loads of toxic nuclear waste. Anybody give me the intergalactic co-ordinates for this "Thornhill" place?
Through the Echo website I've also tracked down my long-lost childhood sweetheart, who I believe you've recently sacked as council leader? Perhaps she'll come home now, Zebulon-VI needs her!
Bleep bleep.

The even funnier thing is that people actually buy these things

Looks like they're also broadcasting your stupidity.

Earthlings, we have been monitoring your Echo website for some time now prior to our planned invasion of your planet. Fortunately for you we have had to delay it as we are confused. We thought all of the human race were reasonably intelligent - that includes Denzil - but who is the one they call CREW657? why is he subnormal? why does he inbreed? why has he got webbed feet and hands? why is he so mentally challenged, why does he tell so many lies? why is he a grass? are there more of his kind? so many questions need to be answered before we can take over Earth, we cannot inhabit a place with substandard people like that, you should be grateful to him, if he wasn't such a retard, you would all be our slaves by now!

By the way,Shazza, 'it's' is an abbreviation of 'it is'. You may want to have a glance through a grammar book yourself.
And an 'is' before broadcasting would help too.
Gosh, this writing lark is a bit tricky, isn't it?
