Mad Frankie Fraser
not completely mad, then
Reg Dudley
alleged "Torso murderer"
Dave Courtney
Former London gangster, said to be the man that Vinnie Jones's Guy Ritchie film characters were based on. Author of best-selling autobiography "Stop the ride, I want to get off", mentions his Goonerdom in new book "Raving Lunacy". See also interview And Flash official site.

Roger Levitt
Owner/chairman of the Levitt Group. Notorious fraudster, see eg this Frank Maloney page.
Robert Maxwell
I'm sure I remember reading (with some horror as I was living in Oxford at the time and thus all too aware of what it'd mean) that Maxwell's football ambition was always to get control of the club he supported: Arsenal. Not sure that one could really consider him to have supported anything or anyone. But hey, this is the scoundrels section.

Hey is "gooners" from "Gunners" (= Arsenal)?

Just wondered.

Silly name, really. Come on you Scousers.

Oh well, after a second inspection of the pitch, the referee decided to postpone the game due to "heavy fog".
Gone are the days when the Kop used to sing to the Annie end "what's the score?", I suppose.
So, the evening has been spent eating a Thai green curry that was brought in by the offspring, which was accompanied by some mini poppadums dipped in "Tesco's finest" sweet chilli and garlic dipping sauce.
Now...when one of these taste bombs arrive on the tongue, one first senses an aroma somewhat akin to the waiting area of a Turkish brothel.
Precisely thirty seconds later, an afterburn the equivalent of an F-15 Strike eagle hits the back of the throat, causing the eyes to water involuntarily and the voice to raise itself by an octave or two.
Highly recommended, especially when washed down with two bottles of Youngs London Ale.

During the meal, UK gold was selected, as a classic "Only fools and horses" was being shown. The one where Del boy goes on the blind date to meet Raquel, whilst Rodney, against all his better instincts, is having a burn up in the Reliant Robin, in an effort to impress his new girlfriend.

I would've preferred to watch the Arsenal Liverpool match, but there y'go.

I just feel sorry for the Arsenal fans, who now have to make their way back having seen no bloody match at all.

The poor sods will now have to do the whole thing again before too long, once the slight mist has cleared.

Ho Hum.

c.i.

If ever one of those captains of a jetplane you are riding on puts out an emergency call to ground control I think you will expect an immediate response. With alarm bells ringing and foam being spread on the nearest runway wherever it is.

Tomorrow would be curtains I'm afraid.

An emergency appointment tomorrow is a contradiction in terms and there can't possibly be any discussion on it.

Unless you wish to rewrite the dictionary of course which I know from the ID thread that you have a fancy for doing.

It's not a contradiction in terms for the (NHS) Dental Service. They, it appears, are excempt from adhering to this definition of "emergency". Oh and GP's too.

Sarah, I am now going to bed, trying to remember who made that first one a hit, here in the UK.
I'm sure it was a female singer, not Dusty but someone similar.

Petula? No......

Bugger! Thanks a lot!

Loved the second one !

G'night all!

I have found that in the early morning I must admit.

But I ignore it and turn over and go back to sleep. It's a bit of a nuisance but nothing I can't handle.

Any news on the Frenchman?

Are you ready for Crimbo?

Thanks and it's always nice to be back here :-D

They be hangin big n firm these days. How about yourself?

Frenchy is now my boss, if you haven't already heard and he's still driving me nuts. I even stopped wearing makeup to work to try and turn him off, but nooooooooooo, he he keeps on coming .
The assembly line I was working on nights ended a few weeks ago, with very short notice to me, so the job I'm doing now was the only thing available for me on the night shift.
The bastids tried to ship me off to the day shift Shocked

, but then romeo came to the rescue to help me stay on my night shift.
He came into work, on his day off to talk with the leaders of the pack and the next thing I know, I'm in another department "ALONE" and it turns out that he's in charge of the corner!
Other than the guy that's training me, Frenchy is the only one who visits <sigh>.

He has a girlfriend (who I saw at the company Christmas party I wish I didn't attend) and she seemed really really nice, so that's when I decided that I needed to stay as far away from him as I could, but I'm in the corner and he keeps coming <sigh>!
I even give him dirty looks sometimes, but he just keeps on comin <sigh>

Aren't you sorry you asked? Laughing

What the hell is Crimbo?

George Bush? (Gag reflexes going)

Australia's greatest cricketer of the modern era, Shane Warne, will announce his retirement from international cricket tomorrow, effective from the end of the Sydney Test.

Warne shock

sources say he will enter a business arrangement with a mobile phine company.

Does this new job involve driving round and collecting parking phines or just when someone drops litter etc. ?
