Quote:Dave Courtney is an ex London gangster. He is well known for his friendship with other well known hard men such as the Krays, Roy Shaw and Lenny McLean. In his time, Dave has been shot, stabbed, had his nose bitten off (they sewed it back on) and has had to kill to stay alive himself. Dave Courtney has been involved in debt collecting, minding clubs, assault, contraband and murder, to name but a few things. Courtney was previously better known as "the yellow pages of the Underworld" and is sometimes referred to in the press as "the most feared man in Britain".

Imagine answering the knock on your door in the middle of the night and seeing this face looking back at you:





And yes, those are knuckledusters he's about to feed you there. He sells them as pendants and keyrings: http://www.davecourtney.com/Duster_Promotion_Store.html

I don't know why but I really think he looks pansy. I would dare to take him on in an unarmed combat. Knuckle dusters are for wimps and cowards.

When you do that can you record it and send it to me? My Youtube channel could really do with a boost in views.

Wimps and cowards, ok fine. I mentioned this in another thread () so rather than repeat myself here I'll quote my response from over there (if you follow me):

Quote:On a related note, regarding criminals and law enforcers being armed, I recommend checking out any of the books and talks by former criminal and genuine East End gangster Dave Courtney. He's one of the new breed of 'celebrity' criminals who've realised they can make more money via the autobiography and lecture circuit than by heisting banks.

Anyway, he's said repeatedly how much he despises firearms, preferring instead the knuckleduster, a.k.a. brass knuckles. As he says, not only can you get locked up just for carrying a gun whereas a knuckleduster is just a tool, a lump of metal, if you take a firearm to do a job then at some point you must be expecting to use it. It only takes one bullet to turn an ordinary bank job into a life sentence for murder. With the knuckles, you can floor an assailant with one punch and the worst case result is a broken jaw. Broken bones can mend; bullets in heads won't.

Wimps and cowards hide behind guns instead of getting up close and personal with the life they're about to take.

I didn't mean now. I need to grow up first. Some of my classmates have suddenly grown taller and my time will come soon.

But I was really thinking of like when I'm much older, not just in a few years. Maybe when I'm 20. Then I'll dare to take him on and I mean it.

OK, sport, have at it. I still want the video, though.

Ah, the bravado of youth. So cute! I remember it well...

Then life got big and scary.

It's friggen hilarious that head cases like Chop chop and Courtney go all show biz; it honestly boggles my mind. Chopper teamed up with another dead set legend of the crime world, Roger "the Dodger" Rogerson (as well as other worthies) and went on a theatre tour, doing one night in a theatre I was working at at the time. They brought their own audio guy, so I didn't get to do sound, but I did fit belt packs on both of them.
As I say, Hilarious and scary. Both were coked and pissed about as hard as you could be on stage while still remaining coherent. Random dick in the audience actually thought it might be humorous to give Chop some lip. I thought at one point that we were about to see the first beating of an audience member by cast, but said dick shut up quick smart once chop got going.

Well, I don't know about Chopper but if he's anything like Dave Courtney, he's one of the generation of criminals who've realised they can make far more money, and legitimately, on the celebrity circuit than they ever could in their former professions.

Mark 'Chopper' Read is a psychotic,petty criminal,pimp and dog. (police informant) His reputation is mainly from self invention,aided by a self serving book and film which romanticsed the scumbag ,but made a star of Eric Bana.


TANGENT: a new Aussie series has started; UNDERBELLY: BADNESS. It's a corker

You will probably win too----if you take a gun and shoot him from behind,otherwise ,probably not. Just remember THE most important rule about street fighting fighting and street fighters. There are no rules whatsoever

The clip below might give you an idea of the world those animals live in. Lots of luck.

I see in Wiki, old Chopper, was given 6 weeks to live in april by the ultimate standover man, cancer. As far as I can see Chopper is still waiting for death to kick down his door and shoot him in the face.
