gnasher16 30,591 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Slow down mate you,ve got my post all wrong.....the Krays messed it up and died in prison......how can that be a success story ?.....im talking about the success stories that have come out of the East End.....whether they were based on the straight world or crooked matters not .....after obtaining reasonable wealth had the Krays eased themself into the straight world they could of been judged a success but they didnt they wasnt interested in the straight world they wanted fame and glamour it wasnt a competition to see who was the hardest.......As boxers im told Reggie was decent and Ronnie was useless... sometimes there just doesnt need to be a big story it was what it was. Obviously the people who have the most success out of crime your not going to know their names anyway but its worth keeping in mind that on a national scale names like the Krays and other East End faces of the day are far more well known today than they was back then.....what does that tell you. Jimmy Tibbs is an honourable man who i like and respect.....but believe me his 5 bedroomed detached house didnt come from rinsing out gumshields ....yes they were always a hardworking family who took shit from nobody,but like most folk out of the Canning Town scrap game back then,they wasnt whiter than white.

dare 1,103 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Reckon the film will be a success? Guessing if there has been some sort of interest all these years then people will want to see the film. Ill download it but trailer didnt impress me much parts of it seemed abit of a comedy. Just like tom hardy as an actor n give anything his in a chance. Someone should do a film on mps and their crimes lol not joking think it would have more affect than just reading it in the papers. My Mrs has a thing for Hardy...so as its double Hardy no doubt will see it at some point...seen the trailer...the bit where he comes in the pub and shouts about it being a 'shoot out!'...is more Alan Partridge than eastend gangster...i do like a good Brit gangster flick...but doubt this will be another get Carter or long good friday...but i rate Hardy as an actor...saw him in Child 44 the other night...always thought he would play a good Jem Mace in a film version of the book Fifty years a fighter(.if i say it often enough maybe it will happen) Never seen the whole film just clips of long good friday but made me laugh. "looking for someone who can offer abit more than a hotdog you know what i mean" lol. Will have to download that now youve reminded me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure Mr Tibbs has earned his money legit...all dues and Taxes paid...i also dont regard him as just a "gumshield rinser"...but its easy to come across wrong on the internet...we will just have to agree to disagree in regards to the Krays Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very much a film of the 80's but a classic imo...another Bob Hoskins film you should give a look...is 'Mona Lisa'...he dose the best flying head butt on Brighton pier you'll ever see on the silver screen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dare 1,103 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Well got it downloaded and my dad downloaded another one by mistake lol always came out this year though called the rise of the krays. Too tired to watch any now though so ill watch it over the week or something. I know you got the adams and no doubt other families are involved in stuff but would you say its the end of an era with families? Course some families will always be in crime but what i mean is do you think the days of a few familys being at the top of things is over. Now days more just gangs of people working together? Not that it makes much difference i guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dare 1,103 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Was looking online at a lovely suit You haven't got a very close twin brother too have you? twin? lol i got brown hair, brothers got black and sisters blonde. Not the milk mans though we do all like quite similar. I just think blokes look better dressed smart. Didnt jeans only become popular through james dean? Dunno why i think that sure ive heard it. Jeans to me just sort of look like something meant to wear for a manual job. Think a nice pair of fitted trousers looks better with a pair of shoes. I cant stand to see blokes or women wearing trainers unless going to the gym or something. Typing that i even had to think what women wear trainers though, know i do see em. Normally working class birds with hoop earrings pushing a pam with a few primark bags slung over the handles eating a mcflurry as she goes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
