Not one for public grief and wailing but the death of Howard Marks is a bit sad

[Classic Jorge]

Not to Monty this up but I did meet him once and he was a truly lovely bloke. Mad for the Tapas too, which makes sense when you think about his other proclivities.

[Pat Vegas]

he used to stay at the hotel I worked at.

Then we had a drink with him in Filthy McNasty's

True story.

Just looking at the man makes me want to wash.

[Classic Jorge]

The whole world is a f**king ****ty gastropub now.

We've got f**k all else but we do have chips served in a wellington boot.

The only food they sold was crisps. Not a craft or a real ale in sight. just a few geezers who looked like retired villains from The Sweeney all drinking lager and Spurs winning 3-0 on the telly.

straight-up, mellow should-be-legal-and-does-far-less-harm-than-alcohol stuff too.

Also, it was the FBI who took pretty much all of his money. You should read his book, it's really rather good.

his crimes anymore I might be more inclined.

[Classic Jorge]

It would explain a lot, I suppose

[Mo Britain less Europe]

do have two friends who's lives were f**ked up by the weed.

[Classic Jorge]

Just so I'm absolutely clear, you're saying that murder is the same as moving large amounts of resin over from Pakistan in shipping containers, yeah?

[Mo Britain less Europe]

money from f**king up Barings. Principle as you'd say.

[Classic Jorge]

if drinking was made illegal would it suddenly become immoral to drink?

The whole business sounds a bit arbitary to me

[Mo Britain less Europe]

was not some benefactor supplying needy people with a panacea. He profited ruthlessly from whoever bought his stuff and didn't give a **** what happened to them.

Your bit of resin is the fried brains of two friends of mine who had too much of it.

[Classic Jorge]

You know that wasnt my point though, what I'm asking is if something is illegal is it automatically immoral?
