It's like I told M earlier ...

... I'm not that keen on this really, albeit in an of itself not a bad article.

It's the press. The Daily Mail is a popular tabloid - not what I would call a reliable news/information source.

It's on par with having the very same article in the National Enquirer in America or in Paris Match here.

This is based off an article which will appear in the November 2013 issue of Details magazine. I have not seen it yet. Their fact checker said it should also be online at the magazine's site.

That's the November 2013 issue of Details Magazine, not 2012 as I originally posted.

It's actually not too bad considering it's the daily mail.
