Why are there so many films about those ghastly little small-time ****ers the Krays about at the

[Berni]

moment? In the grand scheme of things, they are very much the Happy Shopper crime family, I'd have thought.

[Ashberto]

[Berni]

activities were simply forgotten about.

[Classic Jorge]

[Ashberto]

I feel much the same about the monarchy. Not so much this Firm, the real ones in the past.

[Classic Jorge]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

They are small time compared to now but then they were names. People knew them and were **** scared of them. A few celeb friends too helps.

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

Turn out at the funerals was huge too. I lived next door to where the mother was buried and the place was grid-locked for hours

[Berni]

The worst thing was that they loved all the attention when they were alive. It was disgusting then and it's disgusting now.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Berni]

Sorry :-(

silly madey uppy story

[Berni]

Much better than what was in the Bible imo. There were f**k all rock monsters in that.

[Supermac1976]

I fell asleep after 30 mins of Noah, so can't really comment.

[redgunamo]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

That, my friend, is True.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I don't really get quiffs.

[redgunamo]

You know, chaps who stand up for themselves and refuse to be subjugated by the Man. Paupers who steal fortunes and get to live like princes.

[redgunamo]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

undeniable that many of the characters were drawn sympathetically, and one found oneself rooting for them, despite them being murderous animals. :-(

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Them being neither Kemp nor singer.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

a, ahem, lady, with promises of all sorts, should I arrange for her to see her heroes in the flesh.

Such a romantic time, r. What happened to the romance?

[redgunamo]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

product of the minds of small, ineffectual men who deep down wish they were big and tough and psycopathic.

[Classic Jorge]

Rather than because they were murderous thugs. Yes, of course there was a certain amount of sympathy there but it's not as if you were wildy cheering along characters like Ralphie Cifaretto.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

It is like comparing Escape to Victory with Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait as football films.

[redgunamo]

It only works up to a point though, I suppose. As everybody knows, crime pays.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

How we cheered when Keown kicked people!

Perhaps we are attracted to violence.

[Berni]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Utter wrong 'uns the lot of them.

In fact new romantics in general, could have all done with being shot a few times.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

Apart - possibly - from his own when bored of a Tuesday afternoon.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

No one deserves to die for not sharing your musical and aestheetic tastes.

[Berni]

Is a sly pat on the arse the same as rape? No. But it might be argued that the difference between the two is simply one of degree.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Simply to be shot, a few times, each.

[redgunamo]

In our consciences anyway. That goes for the film makers and the audience alike.

[Berni]

We don't have that many famous music types to claim, so we ought to cling to the Spandaus.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Either way, it's wrong, legally and morally; as is teeth-pulling or kicking a man in the knee.

[WHL87]

Aside from his psychopathic serial killing tendencies he seemed ok.

[Classic Jorge]

Uncle Joon and Big Tony didnt leave him much choice.

That said, and possibly this ruins the whole theory, we didnt give a flying f**k for balding Artie Bucco, even though he was probably the only straight character in it.

So it, you're going to make me watch all nine series again at this rate.

Confession: I really liked Ralphie Cifaretto.

[redgunamo]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Yes, carry on.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

wearing Arsenal shirts and sang 'Gold', which Tony Hadley dedicated to the Arsenal :nod:

[redgunamo]

[Berni]

Also, she was strangely reanimated after her death. :-(

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

He was odd.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Berni]

He has the look of a Chelsea fan about him, tbh.

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Classic Jorge]

I had a distinct feeling that the scene where that happened was where The Sopranos jumped the shark.

That or the Kevin Finnerty storyline

[redgunamo]

[redgunamo]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

The Jam also played one of their formative gigs at Stamford Bridge.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

And I would wish them well in their recovery.

The shooting would simply be a way of teaching then a lesson.

[Berni]

And you think Spandau Ballet should be shot?

[Berni]

He kept caring about people like his sister and his kid and falling in love and stuff. Psychopaths just don't do that because..well...they're psychopaths.

[Ashberto]

Lewis Hamilton

[Berni]

And I'm not sure anyone would want to claim Lydon, really.

[redgunamo]

they care about them just the same way anybody else would.

That's what's fascinating (and lucrative) about it. Otherwise we could just shoot them all, rather than social-study them to death.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Waterloo Sunset is possibly my least favourite song. I would rather listen to the macarena.

[Berni]

This news has rocked me. :-(

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Or your least favourite song?

I am quite staggered by this admission.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

coincided with a traumatic time in my childhood.

I can't be arsed to check.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Agadoo
Shuddupa you face
Eton Rifles

[redgunamo]

[Berni]

old chap. It's not right. :-O

[redgunamo]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I am a man. A thinking, feeling man.

Give me freedom or give me incarceration!

[Ashberto]

that was quite funny.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Yes. Quite splendid indeed.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Ashberto]

[Ashberto]

I may overlook it on this occassion.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Waterloo Sunset just one of those 'lost' demos that has come into public consumption. Very likely given PW's early tastes to be the type of music they were messing about with.

Never been shy with an old cover version.

[redgunamo]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I await the punchline.
