The Piano Man.
"I'm German" he says and goes home.
Oh.

My fav bit is talking about his "l33t" piano skills, a la Shine.
"It was reported that health and social workers said they were "stunned" when he proceeded to give them a virtuoso performance.
However, newspaper reports now suggest he was only able to play one note continuously. "

Didn't he play the piano for loads of different people though?
Didn't they realise he was crap?
It's just so bizarre the way they made out he was good, if he wasn't, and based their search on him on looking for a piano, when essentially, he just knew what a piano was.
Imagine it was Rolf Harris, stopping the drawing every few seconds - can you tell what uit is yet? - to draw a Rolfa-Roo.
"Hmmm, he's clearly some kind of twisted scientist/ surgeon, grafting the heads of beardy humans onto Kangaroos."

Ha, that's true.
If I was fished out of the sea and had to draw a picture to communicate, the mental doctors would say "Oh my god! He's a rubbish house with stickmen!"

The best bit about it all is, he drew a good picture of a piano, complete with lighting, shadowing etc., and instead of thinking "He's an artist!" they thought "He's a pianist!"
Thankfully for him he didn't draw a sex offender.

Slow news weeks + Aryan Rain Man = SHINE!!!!!!!!
So where on earth did the reports that he was good come from?
Did the staff etc basically lie to draw attention to it all?

The Times reporting of this story is even better
"And, in a final revelation which will forever shatter the enigma of a man often compared to the pianist David Helfgott whose battles with mental illness were portrayed in the film Shine, the source told the paper that he was in fact "rubbish" at the piano."

So he couldn't even muster the jingle from Close Encounter of the Third Kind.
No reports of fictional barns and imaginary friends, so I'm guessing not?
Just a German who crawled from the sea and SPONGED BENEFITS AND MEALS!!!!!!

Hmm...so he was just an attention seeker then?
Was his name Dringo?
