RedM Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Here's an obscure one. My stepmums brother played Lenny in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. He was one of Rory Breakers henchmen. IIRC always stood on right side of screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC always stood on right side of screen. Was he the one who gave Nic-o-las the glass of orange juice and then had to do a 'Michael Jackson moonwalk' with it when Rory lost his temper??? That was FUNNY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy-No-Knee Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 My granddad rented a shop in London (just off Fleet Street) during the war, and Winston Churchill, Lord Beverbrook and the King used to come in and use the upstairs room for 'liasons' and card games. After the war he was 'rewarded' by be allowed to buy a shop and property in Fleet Street. (Then all owned by Royalty or grace and favour). My uncle sold it a few years ago for millions.... never gave me any the barsteward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Oh and another scary one... I have Victoria Gotti's address and phone number... yep John Gotti's daughter That trumps my next one. My grandad was involved with the Richardson gang. I've only met him once though. Seemed like a nice bloke if a little menacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum seems to frown on it and I've never asked to many questions nor been that interested to be honest. One of my uncles used to have a sawn-off in the boot of his car. When I found that out I thought it time to find better role models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times but had a couple of threats and too many hangers on so sadly I had to cut ties with most of them Got a night on the piss with Hugh Heffner out of it tho!
