A man has been arrested and charged after an investigation into the alleged sale of forgeries of works by a top britpop artist. The police have yet to release any details about the charges but it is believed that he attempted to sell more than one forged copy of the artwork I was a bit of a slapper from 1963 - 1995.
The alleged forgery (pictured above) was sold through a major London auction house who had no reason to question it's authenticity. When the artist saw media coverage of the event she was sure she noticed an anomaly and called in the police.
"I've never slept with anyone called Brian" said the artist "which is why the original piece doesn't include that name where this one clearly does. Oh. Hang on. There was that night in 1984 with that group of men behind the chalets at Butlins. One of them might have been called Brian. Or was it Ryan?"

Whoa! that's got the irony meter pegged at 11. Still trying to get my head around what the crime might be as well.
So many unused quotations 'Yeah well the copies were so much better than the original, it was a dead give-away.'
etc etc etc
:D
