How many criminal friends have you got?

[Moon bunny]

Seeing one after another of my old school friends get sent down is what made me turn myself round before I got as bad as them. Then after uni and coming to England I managed to get in with a man who was worse than any of them, a highish placed manager in a national organisation who was in fact a fraudster with a sideline in violence to women both at home and work.

After 41 years in the motor trade many of them as a used car dealer in and around south London I can honestly say I do not personally know of any crooks, robbers, muggers, murderers or rapist. I do however know of many people who have feigned incapacity and long term stress etc. to wangle early retirement from certain jobs, I suppose that makes them thieves.

2 cousins of mine did time for gbh (or summat like that...robbing people, beating them up... nice stuff like that)

I had a friend from primary school who went to Grammar School (I didn't) who went to prison for armed robbery.

A close relative's ex-wife, when at school, supported another girl's accusations of a male teacher. He was accused of abusing the girl. His wife left him, he lost his job. She was found to have been a serial accuser and her accusations at several schools were all unfounded. My relatives ex-wife is now a police inspector.

I used to have a friend who sold me trout. It turned out that the fish he brought to the house, under cover of darkness, were stolen, from someone's fishing lake, also at night.

I did teach a murderer once, but he was dragged into it by his cousins and uncle. He was walking home from work when his uncle pulled up in a transit van. They attacked a guy coming out of a house (turned out to be the wrong man) with baseball bats. He was the only one in his family in work and had only just left school.

If only Sting still 'had it' 32 years later.....

His pontifications and posturings are a criminal abuse of ego.

To true, but at least Paul Weller still kicks butt.
