Lord Buckingham not inbred shock!

And not a lord either.

Erm... or a Buckingham.

Identity theft is a pretty big deal at the moment and about to get bigger if the nutjobs in various governments around the world force through plans to have us all carrying useless but expensive pieces of plastic stating our non-terrorist leanings. Wouldn't it be simpler to just stick a crystal in our palms and have a cull when we reach the age where we ask annoying questions?

Michael York and Jenny Agutter - damn.

Up until now the only interesting time that identity theft has been used has been on bad TV cop shows and that one time when someone left their email open and logged in on an internet cafe in Perth and I totally rocked it big time as Surfdude25 before copying all the naked chick pics from the temp folder.

Things have now been taken to the next level by this guy who has been running around pretending to be Lord Buckingham for the last 23 years after stealing the ID of a dead kid.

The cops nabbed him at Dover after he took one ferry too many and get this:
"Further checks revealed he had assumed the name using the same method as the professional killer in the novel The Day Of The Jackal"
Makes you wonder how many kids are running around slapping embassy police in the chops and bedding hot European girls after watching The Bourne Identity a few too many times.

The police have admitted that they have no idea who this guy really is and have no way of getting to the truth as he flat out refuses to tell them anything... makes you wonder what he's trying to hide and how bad it could be if the alternative is to pretend to be one of the fox molesting classes...

Not to be confused with the Duke of Buckingham who was last seen on Blottered around 1626 when he had a hand in 'borrowing' some diamonds belong to the Queen of France.

Michael York and Oliver Reed - not quite as sexy, but still damn.
