Don’t worry about it Lenny, I’m sure nobody is actually offended, this thread will probably be on page 4 of the BB tomorrow. Some people seem to be happy permanently arguing about politics on NSC but you get slated about starting this thread.

Exactly….nothing wrong with the thread, just a simple discussion innit ?

1 dead c***, the world is a better place. Marmite my arse.

This is where NSC excels for tips, I’m not keen on the stuff but the Mrs quite likes it.

 

[BN9 BHA]

The state of his house is good enough reason to dislike him.

Evri still couldn’t find it

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Excuse my ignorance but who is he?

Don't worry l'm in te same boat. Is it a sign of me getting old and crusty that l've never even heard of many of the so called celebs that are mentioned on here?

To be honest l'm quite happy to have lived most of my life back in the 1970's and 80's.

I met him at a charity event in the City of London in aid of some alms houses in South East London, in about 2016/2017. I didn’t have any idea who he was at the time, but he seemed to be someone who genuinely cared about the welfare of people who lived around him.

I know very little about his history to be honest, but on the one interaction I had with him, he seemed a decent bloke.

Worst Limmy impression EVER!

Quite sad really, he took his own life.
he obviously had demons and although did some evil things, a life’s a life, he meant something to people.
mental health people, mental health
he’s a brave man, I’ve thought about it…

By the sound of that it was actually more of a physical health issue than a mental health issue which drove him to it.

Obviously the deterioration of his physical health affected his mental health but the main impetus appeared to be the deterioration of his physical health which he didnt want to live with as it was too much of a struggle.

Also as someone who had built his reputation on his "hard man" image it might also have been difficult for him to be seen to be getting physically weaķer and frailer and more vulnerable in other people's eyes, especially those of his "enemies".

He was a Palace fan too?

I believe Courtney was used (at least in part) as inspiration for the character Miami Vice in the TV spin off of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels played by our own Ralph Brown.

Think he was a bit of a Walter Mitty, while no doubt a wrong-un as wikipedia and others have mentioned his gangland links and criminal activities seem to be somewhat embellished. His craving the limelight and being a so called celebrity gangster wouldn’t have won him many friends in that world.

Turns out was of sound mind and no demons .

Rip

You’ve just reminded me I bought the series DVD years ago as missed the final episode.

Obviously it’s had a lasting impression on me, but I’ll watch it this week!
