Harry  'Fingers' McClean, currently under investigation by the Metropolitan Police for burglary, theft with menaces, carrying an offensive weapon, spitting in a latte, extortion, unnatural relations with a small puppy, tax avoidance with threats, operating a TV without a valid licence, and using sweary words in a public place, has been exonerated by an internal investigation. The investigation panel consisted of his mum and his Uncle Robert, who incidentally isn't a real uncle but does stop over to keep the family safe while Harry's dad serves time in Strangeways.


'We've looked at all the evidence, and we've interviewed Harry down the pub, and we can't find a shred of guilt,' said Harry's mum, who has based her investigative style on Nigel Farage.  'He's thorough, is Nigel.  Nuffink sticks, nor will it to our Harry,' she said.


A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police gave an official sigh. He noted that the Met seemed to have a lot more physical evidence than Mrs McClean.  'Our investigation, using real detectives and actual evidence, is taking a bit longer than Harry's mum, but if he is exonerated then we'll be the first to admit we were wrong,' he said, adding, 'but it is interesting that she interviewed him in the pub, as he's been in prison on remand for the last three months.  Maybe we need to broaden our investigation.'

A Division 2 footballer was celebrating last night, after receiving the annual spitter of the year prize at the Golden Greenie awards, held in Gobowen. Peter Jones, a journeyman centre-back with Port Vale, was commended by a panel of journalists and fellow players for ‘a season of unparalleled nose ejections, with variety, trajectory and speed of delivery more typically associated with a premier league player, or someone with a very serious bacterial infection’ .


‘Jones has been untouchable this year, something that we'd also advise about his discharge’, noted one leading football journalist. ‘It’s hard to single out individual gobs in such a great season, but I’d say his right nostril ejection midway through the Stoke cup game in January was a watershed - well, snot-shed actually - moment. Finger blocking left nostril. Rapid exit of phlegm in a single shot, with no residue onto the shirt. Deliberately targeted to miss the opponent’s foot by less than a centimetre. Outstanding.’


‘Pete’s versatility has been a hallmark of his nose clearances this year’, waxed the journalist. ‘He’s a great utility gobber. He can deliver that little bit of spit between his two front teeth, finishing with a double pike of the saliva into the advertising hoardings, along with the best in the world. But he’s not afraid to honk out a huge mucus and saliva mix around the penalty area on a wet and windy Tuesday in January at Burnley either’.


‘I’ve been really pleased with my consistency this year’, admitted Jones, ‘Thick, mostly green, and very, very difficult to remove from the playing surface’.
