peterhunter86 8,627 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Everyone knows the classic series such as the wire. Just recently started sopranos though as i never watched it properly. Really is great, uncle junior has me in stitches. Only other great which not many seem to know least none of my mates did is love/hate. Think as its not american n more like how things are over here that i liked it. Its about irish gangland and worth watching if aint seen it. Films everyone knows the classics goodfellas n all that stuff. I got so into series that ive been put off films if honest. Fail to see how you can really tell a story in around 2hours. Prefer to watch a series but watched an old black n white film other night about an irish bloke. Filmed in black n white but think came out 98, called the general. About martin cahill who was a criminal who seemed to really wanna always get one over on the police. Bit strange that he had an relationship with a pair of sisters lol but watched it all so werent too bad. was ken stott playing the part of martin cahill No Larry it was Brendan Gleason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The general is a true story pal I seen him once or twice I know a few that was in his gang and their relatives he was worse in real life Yeah film half tries to make him seem abit of a loveable rogue i felt. Fact he nailed the junkie to a pool table kind of changed that image. Film gave me an idea though lol then whilst looking for the balacava i though would be too many armed police on stand by thanks to isis. That and my social class tend not to know art collectors lol. Joking of course 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joking of course It was actually a factory floor he nailed him to and he shot the loke that stopped his benefits and put a bomb in the car of a forensics officer done a lot of damage to him the state took the house off his family when he was shot and workers found a lot of silver from a robbery underneath the pigeon loft there is a good book about him worth a read 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Whats the book called mate? I enjoy reading these days n pass it on to my mate on holiday after im done. End of the day the bloke was a criminal and a pretty horrible one. Film tried to not show him in such a horrible light i felt. Interesting how he had a relationship with both sisters lol. Aunts bloke got caught cheating on her but weeks before said hed give me a lift to pick something up as he had a van. Only bloke i.knew at the time with a van so i called him he still done it. Driving along i said to him "why dont you get my aunt n the other bird to move in togther? Can take turns doing the cooking n give the other a break". He went bright red n changed the subject lol dunno if he thought i was looking to have ago but none of my business was just having a laugh. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
