Oh Johnny johnny, can your desperate attempts at attention seeking and publicity get any more lame?

I didn't think you could top the 'OUCHIE someone shot me in teh EAR' fiasco, but getting yourself smuggled in - through the FREE STATE no less (oh the irony) - to sneak up the Shankill at 7am just to get your photo taken. As the Man Interviewed On the Street said 'why didn't he come at lunch time when we're all up and about'.

And then the great Wild West Portadown standoff. The UDA posse of Fat Men WIth Sticks rides into town because there are rumours of sightings, and the Riot Police Cavalry have to be called in to head them off, meanwhile you've smuggled yourself back across the border into Mexico(again with the hilarity and irony).

I think you might just have topped Gerry and his zero tolerance crime policy for funniest news of the week.
But of course, Billy Hutchison put it, you're really just misunderstood and just want to be loved ...
(maybe we should introduce him to Tomas)

I partiuclarly like this bit:

'Adair was photographed on Belfast's Shankill Road and was also seen elsewehere on Thursday.

The UDA became aware of his presence and sent men to Portadown.'

Where was he seen? Why were these men sent to Portadown?

It's this sort of mysterious and innuendo laden reporting that make Northern Ireland news reporting the wonder of... of... um, Luxembourg.

Maybe they're hoping to headline next week's Portadown news ;p
