sheepyvillian Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Dave Courtney found dead, apparently shot himself in the head. I don't like to speak ill of the dead, but he was never what he claimed to be, that's why Frankie Fraser called him out. He was a debt collector which is just a euphemism for a bully. A fantasist, who rode on the coat tails of the Kray,s infamy. Edited October 23, 2023 by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could he possible have been mixed up with The Krays? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to go to personal appearances and buy all the books etc. At the end of the day they're violent thugs who caused misery to probably hundreds of people.

How could he possible have been mixed up with The Krays? Did you read my post correctly? At no point did I say he was mixed up with the Kray's. However, he liked to brag about how close him and Reggie were in Maidstone, which is bollocks, and he never stopped reminding anyone who cared to listen, how he sorted Reggie's funeral and provided the security. He was a modern day Don Quixote who loved the sound of his own voice. It was partly down to that big mouth why they abolished the double jeopardy law. He went on one of those tabloid talk shows and confessed to a murder that he had previously been acquitted of. And Frankie Fraser called him out for being a rat, over him plantimg cocaine in the car of his pal's ex partner, and then phoning the old Bill so she would be tainted in a custody battle for her kids. Like I said, he was a bully who used to go round to vulnerable people who owed money and threaten them with violence, he actually was part of some documentary where he actually glamourised his hard knock life, thought he was the British version of John Gotti, but in reality, he was a laughing stock.

It's been floating round for years and to be honest would be a scraping of the barrel. It sounds like a late career Lennon song, which it is, a late career Lennon song though is not a Beatles song. Still, be good to see if they can clean up the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the original demo , that Harrison described as **** rubbish There have been a few cleaned up AI version of it doing the rounds over the years , the last one was a decent effort but not really a Beatle song in that regard ... McCartney is saying the new version is all them and no AI .. it will be interesting to hear from a curiosity pov but no more than that I think with the ABBA voyage success , i can kinda see where this is going though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to the ABBA Voyage thing and it's **** awesome. Helped in no small part that the arena is designed specifically for it. The sound is amazing, and I'm a sound nerd. The transition between projected stuff and real stuff is absolutely seamless. /nerdgasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 One dead after ships collide in North Sea - officials - BBC News Quote One person has died and four others are missing after two cargo ships collided off Germany's North Sea coast, German authorities say. Two other crew members have been rescued, it added. Seven were on board in total. The British-flagged Verity reportedly collided with the Bahamian Polesie at around 5:00 local time (3:00 GMT) on Tuesday morning. The Verity is believed to have sunk, while the Polesie is buoyant. ****' harsh, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch footage of ABBA back in the day, then watch the Voyage show it's so good it's uncanny. I do wonder how hard it would be to fake it for the Beakles? You'd have to have some amazing animators to get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
