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. "

Aha. Hahahaha. Hahahahahahahahaha, that's excellent.
He could only play one note, but he excelled at it, dammit! That's what this country needs - some dedication to the task at hand.
EDIT: It doesn't say he got on a plane.

Ahaha, the manager of the hospital that Herr Plinky is referred to in an article in May
"Ms Dorey-Rees was unable to say what music he had played.

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?

Slow news weeks + Aryan Rain Man = SHINE!!!!!!!!
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.
