In the Times;
Sir Jez Menis died today, aged 68, a legend in his own lifetime.
Having made his riches in the alternative jewellery trade Sir Menis was most noted for his successful peace talks in the Middle-East, using Ramones music, and cannabis as a catalyst, and installing the 'Munchies for Guns' policy, which is still upheld today.
His business career will be remembered for many years to come. His masterstroke of buying Drake's Island, declaring independence, and using it as a tax haven was noted in many business circles, and ensures revenue for his children Denise, Francis, and Gabriel.
Mr Menis, or Jez as he preferred to be known, died from wounds received during a vicious gun battle, reputedly caused due to his shadowy contacts in the underworld. Witnesses state he was armed only with a sword, yet still disposed of his several assailants. Unfortunately the assault took the life of his beloved wife. His last wish was to be laid by her side, to whisper to her, to ease her passing, and they then left this world hand in hand.
