YOU may have read in the Bucks Free Press on Friday that a time capsule had been found which contained a copy of the paper from 1886.

By coincidence I happen this week to have taken a little trip into the future and came upon a copy of the paper from 2086 and found some surprising and some not-so-surprising stories.

In our paper of the future, developers promise that High Wycombe's exciting Western Sector scheme will be started within two years.

The centre's attractions will include affordable housing at a cost of one billion euros for a studio apartment, a 35-screen cinema all showing the same film, cafes and cannabis houses.

Wycombe Wanderers are reported to be preparing for their final crucial game of the season which could see them becoming premiership champions for the fifth year in succession.

Looking back, club manager Keith Ryan junior said the club's great cup run of 2001 was the start of its real glory days back when it was still at its old Adams Park home.

The club's controversial move to The Rye which attracted a storm of protest almost as great as the building of the second Swan theatre, has proved a great source of finance with 100,000 fans filling it every week.

In our paper of the future, organisers of Wycombe Show warn that it faces the threat of closure unless more volunteers came forward.

People in Gerrards Snob are as obnoxious as normal.

In a bid to keep it as a top-class event, Marlow Regatta is planning to move to a lake in Switzerland.

Central Railway announces that it hopes its plans for a freight railway to Australia and back via Penn Street will be approved by the newly-formed left-wing dictatorship.

There were rumours that the end was near for newspapers on the internet after little more than 100 years.

The Bucks Free Press was about to launch a new product which meant that people would be able to have all their news in one convenient bundle. It would cost them nothing to access once bought, was portable, could be read at one sitting and didn't turn you into a nerd who had no friends and didn't wash.

They announced that it would be called a newspaper. Worldwide weirdos on the internet were sceptical that the new product would be as popular, saying that people preferred their news at the click of a thousand buttons.

So that is the news from the future. I wonder what they would make of us?

Personally I have never understood the attraction of burying things that you like in a time capsule. I would bury all the things I dislike just to keep them out of our sight for a hundred years.
