Omar Khyam

Not to be confused with Omar Khayyam.

The first is the jailed ringleader of the fertiliser bomb plot. The second was a wine- and woman-loving Persian poet and polymath whose poems were translated by Edward Fitzgerald, not to be confused with Hugh Fitzgerald.

Nor should Omar Khyam - or Omar Khayyam - be confused with Victor Kiam who, if you remember, liked the Remington MicroScreen shaver so much he bought the company. The three can be distinguished by their response to the shaver in question:

Victor Kiam: Shaves as close as a blade, or your money back.

Omar Khyam: Shaving is the devil's work. Die, infidel dog.

Omar Khayyam: I'll take the cash.
