Hebden Bridge Times: Leeds man smuggled £6.5m of drugs in frozen chickens
Apparently, his friends suggested he go cold turkey, but he got the wrong end of the stick entirely.

Vote for me!
OK, Gruts Gang, its time to make yourselves useful [too late: didn't win].
The Hebden Bridge Times and Todmorden News are running a ridiculously complicated photography competition. I have entered, and my photo has made the semi-finals. There are 13 photos in the semi-finals (I told you it was ridiculously complicated). To make the final six (no, really), my photo needs your votes.
Now, here comes the really complicated part. You can vote in several ways, and you are allowed to vote in more ways than one. So, what I need you to do is to go here, then do AS MANY OF THE FOLLOWING as possible (depending on which of the following you have access to):
click the Facebook Like button alongside the articleclick the Twitter button to share the articleclick the G+ button alongside the article to share on Google+click the LinkedIn button alongside the articleleave a COMMENT (or several comments!) against the article(most importantly) ask all your friends to do the same
…then, if you're feeling really bored, you can try to do the same on this page.
The voting closes as midday on 1st December, 2014.
I have been assured—and you will no doubt be relieved to hear—that there will be no swimming costume round.
Oh, just in case you're wondering what my photo looks like, here it is:

Tell us something we don't know
This morning, the Times newspaper reportedly declared Hebden Bridge to be the 'coolest place' in which to live in Britain.
Murdoch must be getting desperate: he's nicking my editorials now.
Before you ask...
No, I'm not:
Hebden Bridge Times: Group bares all to back naked rambler
Meanwhile, in sports news...
Hebden Bridge Times:
Class told despite improved performance
JACKS scored the first goal but Jammies ran away with 21 - 8 in the latest matches in the Todmorden Netball League.
But it was still a much improved performance from Jacks, although Jammies went into the second half leading 7-3.
Jacks are unreconisable from the team struggling for form over the last few weeks with fluid enthusiastic play.
Jammies class told in the end but Jacks made them work for every goal.
Terriers pipped Giants 15 - 12. Giants had some good defensive play but Terriers kept their cool and edged it in the last few minutes.
Both teams defended and shot well with the game going from end to end.
Bad passing let Lions down as Borough Bears beat them 19 - 12.
Bears were back to their starting seven and their passing was a lot tighter around the semi circle.
Lions came back in the second half but Bears were too strong. Pink Panthers went down 20 - 10 to Rangers in a fast paced match.
Windies had no game.
No, me neither.
Meanwhile, in local news...
