are the kray twins still alive

[phleb]

and how many of you actualy liked them. I have recently been so fascinated by them, i have the book about ronnie kray at the moment, and it is very interesting, they did hate bullies, and bullies were who they hurt. Do you know a grandad or relative that knew them or is related to them

#1 on the list: Naomi is at home, burning the bible, whilst DT is out on the town, dressed in ladies underwear....

See, Douglas, there are lots of times when they're not in the same room together....

I know ummmm, I was being mischievous/facetious. It seemed funny in my head, I may apologise in verse later.

So Bluestone you think the Krays were iconic.......the Krays were murdering scum.

[Krausse]

Thanks for clearing that up Naomi ! Basically we have established that you fully support a couple of punk gangsters who pulled off a protection racket in my home town and didn't give a Sugar about any of the local business but they loved their old mum ! Sorted babe !

[ummmm]

lol Bluestone....

I know, Douglas, I might write a poem...

[ladybirder]

I think 'infamous' is the word you are looking for Bluestone, not iconic in a million years.

[Bluestone]

Crafty, I agree. I'm not doubting that at all, I'm really not. However, in this day and age, they are (I'm afraid) classed as 'Iconic'.

[ummmm]

Krausse - stop being a pleb.

"I know, Douglas, I might write a poem... "

Oh go on, please do. If it's as good as your art, I will be hysterical for days.

[ummmm]

Okay, I will, tomorrow!!

[Bluestone]

Ummmm, are you DT in disguise?

I am genuinely so, so confused.... lol :-))

[ummmm]

Haha...I doubt that Bluestone ;-)

[Bluestone]

I just lol'd for the first time tonight.... :-D

I have no wish to be drawn into the ethics of the Kray twins and, equally, no desire to comment on dead men but would respectfully add to the debate that there are many, many books on the Krays - often written purely to cash in on associations and friendships, very often dubious. The best book, by far, is John Pearson's "The Profession of Violence". In my humble opinion, it's the standard work on the Krays and if one wants to study their lives and times, it's the volume the reader should reach for first. I believe their brother Charles may still be alive? A wonderful weekend to all.

Douglas, Ha ha! It’s a thought, but not at all. Ummmm has it right. One of my dogs wasn’t ready to come in from the garden so I came back whilst I waited for him to make his mind up, that’s all.

Krausse, Babe? My, when it's said like that it sounds really tough! How funny! The ability to comprehend the English language doesn’t appear to be your forte – and neither does truth.

Bluestone, I'd rather you didn't bring my study of religion into other sections and other subjects as other people often do - it gets a bit tedious - but that said, you misunderstand me. I would never burn any book – and I have the greatest respect for the bible.
