THE TOYLANDVISION SONG CONTEST saw Smallvania finish bottom and Boston finish second from bottom after the votes were announced last night. Boston's song, 'Flying the Flag' performed by a cheesey pop group of little known group of soft bunny rabbits, won only 29 points.
Bottom of the contest came Smallvania, whose entry from Barbie-lookalike 'I-Girl', titled 'Einschuldigung', which is German for 'Excuse-me'. I-Girl didn't appear to regret choosing to sing in a foreign language, commenting that what was important to her was her song 'reaching the dizzy heights of number 398 in the Toyland singles chart.' I-Girl won just five points in the contest.
The overall winners of the seven-hour long Toylandvision were Grace's Toyland, whose entry 'Down Under' by Sid Knee won 391 points from various Toylands around England.

Ambassador visits guinea pigs
THE STUDENT AMBASSADOR OF BOSTON, Marissa Cooper, made her first official trip in her new job yesterday to visit Emily's guinea pigs.
Unabashed by her recent defeat in the Mayor elections, Marissa was accompanied by King Chris of Smallvania, whom she described as 'a tad nervous about those big guineas!'
Marissa got on well with both of the pets, stroking them and attempting to have a piggy back ride on one of them. She also sent messages of goodwill to Snuffles, an honourary resident of Boston.

Election day dawns across Toyland
POLLS OPENED AT SEVEN O'CLOCK THIS MORNING for all areas of Toyland to vote on who will be mayor for the next term of government. Election fever has been mounting for some months, with some three positions being contested.
In Boston, incumbent Winnie the Pooh will be facing another election, and hopes to remain undefeated. 'Hummmm I've been Mayor of Boston for as long as anyone can remember. Bostonians musn't forget all the good things I've done for this country.'
Winnie refused to answer questions about if he was about to resign. In today's election he faces several candidates for his job: longtime rival Ducky Mallard, Conservative party candidate White Teddy, and university student environmental campaigner Marissa Cooper.
Meanwhile, in Smallvania, Mayor and Mayoress Puddleduck will also be seeking re-election. They came to power after Jeff and Mabel Badger stood down. Hoping to win the position off them will be Graham Greybear.
Asked why he should be voted as Mayor, Graham said, 'No-one knows Smallvania as well as me. I am a self-made bear. I used to sleep on the streets, without a home, and I care about hard work and the pursuit of happiness.' Graham's serious tone is likely to lose him the election.
At time of writing a list of candidates for the Mayor position in the Land of Old Toys was unavailable. It is rumoured that Rosie will become Mayoress by default because of no-one else standing.
With Sunnydale and Smallvania schools closed for polling, the Toyland Express urges all toys, big and small, to vote for the candidate which offers the brightest future.
All the election results will be announced in the Express when the votes are counted.
