...told the paper that he shared a Bristol flat with Gunningham in 1998. Asked by the Mail whether Gunningham was Banksy, Egan reportedly replied, "Well, he wasn't then." Gunningham, whose middle-class upbringing bears little resemblance to Banksy's renegade persona, has vanished. (See pictures of Banksy's secret art show...
...Smith opened serious merger talks last summer after Smith decided that TCI would make an ideal match for his company. ''We kept it to a small number of people,'' Smith says, ''although we kept Salomon Brothers as a backup. We did all the negotiations ourselves. No outsiders.''

He claims that after being told by the (real) KFC regional HQ in Lahore, Pakistan, that opening a franchise in Kabul would cost him a few hundred thousand dollars, he opted to go the pirate route. He claims to have bought the U.S.-based KFC's secret fried chicken recipe on the black market for $1,200, although obviously that claim can't be verified. "You can get anything at the bazaar in Pakistan," he says. And he filched real KFC iconography off the Internet for his restaurant's promotional materials and decorations...
