the Year


rying somebody else’s badge. Trouble is, the photo on that badge was of a man with a bald head and our culprit had a full head of hair. So he claimed he’d had a hair trans- plant using horse’s hair! Love it to death... so these guys have to be our runners-up in this category.


But the only reason we selected a different winner, the Bolton driver who was jailed for gun running as reported in our April edi- tion, is that this guy wasn’t always a Sad B*****d; during 2012 we reported on the fact that Mr Ahmed had invented a hands- free umbrella, and was on the verge of signing a deal that would have brought him a lot of money - but the deal was scuppered as a result of the court hear- ing and subsequent five-year jail sen- tence. Shame... we don’t believe the Dragon’s Den operates behind bars.


Adjacent is the story we reported on in April’s edition on page 58.
