Really funny UA-cam comment well done
Hahahaha good shout lar 😅😅

@@terrymccan5891you being sarcastic? I hope not 🤬
I worked for Eddie Blundell on the ice cream. Billy had a baby with my mates sister. They were never threatening to the workers. We were just kids. The heavyweight boxer Funso Banjo worked with me. He is the father of the dancer Ashley Banjo. I knew Lenny Wiltshire from the Dagenham Working Mens Club and Peter Costa because he ran the doors in the area. Anyway, I was young and these people were already quite old. I never got involved and went to work on a Monday morning. For all their stories, the Blundells were the only people that had money and that came from selling ice cream, a good business. Everyone else wound up with nothing, having done a lot of bird. So kids, enjoy the stories but don't go down this road. The best you can hope for is to do time and spend your old age with fuck all.
Better than the torture of a life a servitude that kills any soul you may have been born with
@@BC-nl9ph I'm a very successful business man and I'm served by people like you. You see, if you have the brain, you don't need to steal it. Only fools need to steal.
Hi Joe. I preferred Rossis ice cream.
There fossils mush
Wankets 😮
Moral of the story, stay away from crime.
Brilliant summing up at the end
Nothing like earning an honest pound.Won’t get rich but you at least can sleep at night with both eyes shut.
Bang on! These folks are constantly looking over their shoulder.
Don't you mean "pound note"!
The Driscal Brothers from Only Fools and Horses 😂
This is the funniest comedy sketch ever!!! 😂😂
It really is , the Driscol brothers 😂😂😂
I remember going to one of their parties and not knowing who they were. Apparently Billy offered me some pills and I'd refused saying i could get them cheaper. One pf the people I went to the party with came upto me shortly after asking me what had transpired. I told him and he then told me who it was who had come up to me and that I was lucky they didnt take offense to what I'd said. I was only 17 at the time
What fine fellows. Making communities joyful for everyone. Crime is not the way.
Better the devil you know
Trust me, it's families like these that used to keep people on the straight and narrow in communities where the police wouldn't or just gave up on.
Proper gangsters wouldn’t be on camera washing there dirty laundry in public
they were proper gangsters unlike the essex boys...But both long retired, and the media had long known about organised crime by this time anyway...
,£££
Great video bernard 👏
Sleeping with the sea crabs
This was a good one. 👊🇺🇲🗽🏴👊
Hello feds
I used to run clubs in the Midlands. I had loads of different family’s, firms in my clubs. I suppose people would call them gangsters . They were OK with me , but their life of violence , crime etc . Didn’t end well lots of jail & funerals .
Nottingham by any chance?
687 officers 👮♀️ in the met in London accused of sex offences against women & girls in the last 12 months . They all lie for each other because it’s much higher than that
Which clubs bud? D'ya know Schoey? ...Eric? I used to have a lil something going in 1 particular venue in the Midlands for a few years.. awesome AWESOME times.
@@jackbuff_Iwhat was it you done mate? And where do you live?
Yeah, ask him whats his date of birth n mums maiden name too bro @@staypositive5718
He looks like "Frank doberman " from the fast show 😂😂😂
Although the stories are entertaining, you can’t help but feel pity for them watching them, the only sense of validation they get is clinging on to stories that you know are embellished, crime is not now or never has been the way to go
absolutely right
This is pure comedy class 😂😂😂
Churchills in Southend was recently Demolished. It was on the Corner of Tylers Avenue/ Chichester Road by the Bus Station. In the late 80's it was known as '' Turtle Bay''.
And that’s where they where popped ,ull see it’ll come out .
Rickys mother is heartbreaking it takes a true horrible bastard to blame another man your crimes and get him locked away for 28yrs and causing such suffering to his family
This ricky stitch up has bit of the retterdon murderers to it.. we're the police this corrupt... or are police covering the back of big time gangsters??? What I will say if no mad murders happen in next 5 years of so then it can only point to one big gangster that's already gone... and I'm not talking dave courtney..
I had that Woodstock 2 flyer. Big A3 size thing. I thought it was cancelled a couple of weeks beforehand?? Calling a club or rave ' the pink toothbrush ' !! Crazy and brilliant!!
I thought it was cancelled..sure i was going then i wasnt
@@howardjames227same here. I'm sure it was cancelled. Good days though
It was cancelled, and it was a dreamscape event, nothing to do with the early days that the guy in this video was going on about. That flyer they used here was from around ‘93
Loose the fantasy folks ! Bouncers are low paid, sad, bottom feeders who like to beat up silly pist teenagers ! In my early career I had to arrest many of these bullys.
There are some good guys doing this job for sure, but these are not the ones who talk about how hard they are.
Didn't I say that ?@@S.Trades
I agree....pathetic isn't it
He shot him and then he shot them and then I shot him again because I knew he was gonna shoot me so I shot them all. Strange how nobody ever got killed. WHAT A LOAD OF OLD TOSH 😂
I’d love to hear you say this to their face lol
If he said this to their face then they would shoot him. Then he would shoot them back. Then he'd shoot them again and everyone would be shot. CAN EVERYONE STOP GETTING SHOT.
Big stones on a comment section! 👍
@@antonclark
If he shot me he would miss 😂
“Would everyone stop getting shot”
i grew up around dagenham .Romford 70s and 80s. started going to clubs late 80s. we never had laff the trouble kids get today! never had trouble at the room at the top in Ilford!
Bob Hoskins is looking well 😂
Its madona
Thumbnail should have been 9 minutes of talking to the blundelll’s then we tell the next 15 years of Essex drug scene 🤦🏼♂️
What’s the song at the end🤠
He said he'd lost 8 pints of blood but the human body only hold 8 to 10 pints of blood maybe a bit more but you lose 8 pints you're gonna be in a coma unless they knew his blood type and started getting it into ASAP, tbh I think 8 pints is a bit of an exaggerated story, I lost 4 pints after an accident on a fishing boat that nearly cut my hand off and on the way to hospital I fell into unconsciousness and when I got my faculties together a couple days later the doctors said if the boat had taken 5 more minutes to Dock and the ambulance hadnt been waiting I'd have not woken up due to blood loss, I think they used plasma cuz I was barley conscious and certainly didn't know my blood type to relay to the ambulance.
Crime is a mugs game and they are selfish mugs who hurt their nearest and dearest more than any of their enemy's could ever do, just look at the pain in that poor moms face
Just because the government calls it a crime doesn't mean anything when they're hypocritical they change the words to suit themselves
I know
How true
it's not a mugs game when you're a Coughlan, Kinnehan or an Adams.. or the others that will go unmentioned. When you're at a certain level, all is good. It's rare mind.
@jackbuff_ blundellIs there's nothing written on Google searches on them.. the last two yes.. goes to show u that the blundells were bigger
"He smashed our window we shouldve smashed one of theirs"
Fukcccc offfff 😅😅😅
"I lost 8 pints" yeah ok. What a pair of sad old men. Who still think violence is the business.
Billy reminds me of Charlie Jolson from the ps2 game “the getaway”!!
That woman at the end has been through some shit. Think of your parents when you go and commit crimes, kids!
Sounds like just a normal day in any town now a days.
6:14 I too would be angry if I lost that much beer.
We spanked them!! We marked their cards, we were 4/5 handed…. Who writes this nonsense. 😂😂😂
Its a time thing mate those are the terms from the 60s 70s 80s
Jimgavin we have to appreciate that often the actual truth is twisted around and embellished.
@johndean4765 why let the truth get in the way of a good "yarn"!
Alright lads good luck see yo again its paul pauley Jones from Durham nice one
Those were the days, I was introduced to dance music
My taughts are with this lady at the end. She is destroyed over her innocent sons imprisonment. New trail, justice. ✊☘️
New trial, too!
what's a taught? How do you know she wants it?
When you come across a guy with a lisp and someone from their crew called “Johnny fairy” don’t assume there from old Compton street or spurs fans..they could be your worst nightmare!😢
Ronnie pickering will be shitting himself....
The blundell brothers more like the chuckle brothers!
If anyone can follow their story..you're a better woman than me!😅😅
Watching/listening to this nonsense is like listening to a class of 3 year old recalling their version of a classroom fight...it's exhausting to follow and by the end of it all you're ready to take my own life - because you're know no more at the end, than you did at the start of the whole jackanory. Perfect case in point, try an follow this shot from 32:23 to 38:14! Wtf!!
O’mahoney is a brilliant narrator of this stuff
Shame he's a liar grass and fantasist
Yeah, he has that monotone brain-dead working class tone to us voice.
Yeah, it's like a crime documentary narrated by Jasper Carrott.
Aren’t the Adams still serious players
They r and patsy done him in Maidstone
88.3 back in the day was a good time always had the station on my radio even going to Woodstock crazy 😂😂 but I never took drugs you didn't need to
I feel sorry for Ricky and mother poor woman is broken case's like this must have complete proof of guilt before sending a Man away.
Jackanory comes to mind
He said he’d lost 8 pints of blood lol he would be dead thats all you have in your body! What a total thick W⚓️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You both made statements, That mars bar is your recipe 🤣
Every time i see wives/girlfriends/mothers of these villains on these videos I think of the band SQUEEZE and their hit song 'COOL FOR CATS" lol 🤣😂🤣
Two brain cells each!
That's being generous. They share one
If Ricky Never Done This Then This Is ABSOULUTLEY Fing Disgusting. Wow Poor Family. I Have Been Wrongly Remanded In Prison And Every Time I Was Innocent The System Is Flawed And Full Of Corrupt Souless People.
I think the word you were looking for is ‘flawed’. By every time, I presume you mean on several occasions? And you were innocent EVERY time?? What’s your nickname? LUCKY????
have a lovely D day jim
And the villains are angels, right?
Whos ricky?
Its the driscull brothers and I'm still looking at where is the little one who was Mike who was in the young ones, back in the day lmfao 😂
I thought Dumb & Dumber was just a movie...
Interesting to hear both sides, very different to O’Hallerans story
Bless Rickys mum x
Lost 8 pints of blood foooking load of waffle
It's not impossible but its bloody hard to believe
You only get 9 lol 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@whodafunkedit3893 You only get 9 lol 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Soon as a heard the voice of bs bernie it went off
Ahhh. The lifestyle everyone wants…
Ive thought that loads of bloody times 😂
It's a different story when you hear Ryan Simms (Danny O'halloran's son) version 🙄
These two were sharp back in the day, proper capers..creative too. Props and respect is well deserved for these two, top geezers from a different era.
Yes lovely boys
Are these guys still on the go.
It always makes me smile hearing the lispy poofter one talk.
Ah no I came for the comments but got here too early!
Nothing worse than arriving too early Joe.
Cant say I'm happy , my sons a cop.on backshift tonight.god bless the .who do you call when in trouble. Heart breaking.Xx
I used to box for the blundells and tbh BOM might be a bit of a pillock but if you wasn’t around these parts of town around these people you wouldn’t believe it but I remember all these events unfolding as I grew up. And tbh billy was an honest respectful man I still talk to his grandsons and family now
Family of informers
His grandson is in prison for shooting someone a while back .
@@Leo-dr4qm you have no weight for that
These 'Faces Of The Underworld' documentary series are BOM's finest hour I think.
You know how big the Blundells were. Only Fools And Horses played tribute with the Driscoll Brothers . The two ll's in the surname? One being tall and one vertically challenged. They seem to know what happened that fateful night at Rettendon. 8 shots fired and 7 cartridges recovered, Someone took away a souvenir
I’m assuming people tell you, you talk Bollocks!
they knew 👍
Your must be talking about the Krays the one in the Krays was Charlie the other two well bullying the the word for Ronnie And his twin brother
Nah! It would been left in the gun. It was a pump action shotgun. Each time you fire it, you pump it, it ejects the spent cartridge and put the next one in the chamber. When the shooter finished shooting, he had no reason to eject the last cartridge, because he had finished. The last cartridge got thrown away with the gun.
There always two ll in driscoll/ o driscoll no other.way of spelling the name
This is a repeat from another channel. Hopefully someone asked permission to upload this
I would rather watch The Chuckle Brothers!
The gay one likes an Alf Garnet impersonation 🤣🤣🤣
They took the piss out of ordinary folk
Don't wish to sound rude, but i'm sure i've listened to this vid clip b4 and this is a repeat.
What a couple of plonkers Rodney!
Ice cream sellers they had a fight over a 99 and apparently they lost hundreds and thousands
Then they ' flake-d ' out.....
Lost eight pints of blood? Yeh right
These old boys love telling there stories
They are so clever that they spend half there life in prison and end up broke ..
Done some security for Bill a few times. Old school gent.
I boxed at this gym belhus park South ockendon
Used to pick up from their farm in bulphan on the a128 lol
In the fishing lake?
@bigphilhickin962 yes mate at back of his farm haha
Mitchell brothers looking well
Has anyone else noticed the more violent these old Criminals are the Gayer they seem ….bit weird if you ask me 💚✌️
I've always thought that. They like to intimidate men, meaning to be intimate with other men, hard physical contact with other men. As they become more violent it turns into BDSM with other men. Also at the beginning of this clip there was a lot of 'spanking' mentioned 😂
I forgot to add their depravity and willingness to devalue life
At least the ice creams came with a nice big cone.
Most are bisexuals becos it starts in the prison system.
It's Uncle Fester recruiting for the Adams Family!!
I'm here all week.......................................🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The oldest children I’ve ever seen
More like the Chuckle Brothers! To me to you….
Proof of all Claims are Required.
GOOD TIMES BERNEY. SORRY TO HEAR YOU LOST YOUR BELOVED ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
Chuckle brothers.
The Old Bill fit people up for crimes if they can’t get the real culprit anybody will do. Try & make sure it’s not you by not being in the wrong place with the wrong company of people at the time ?Jails are full of people who were found guilty of a crime. But not always the culprits .
Stop making excuses for the corrupt paedophile protecting rapists
Example?
WHAT DRIVEL
Example me witnessed by a magistrate & team of solicitors. The Magistrate had had enough he said you’re used to the defendants lying sometimes but when the police do it quite often . How are you supposed to make a informed decision ?
The magistrate resigned . Some people really should get out more & mix with different people . The police do lie & fit people up , maybe not as often but they do. There’s plenty of fact based films& documentaries that are fact based out there . There has been quite a few high profile cases involving policemen committing horrendous crimes .
Spankings and Billy Swallows? Oohh
I wonder if Alvin's friends were called Simon and Theodore??
My m8 was into the ICF an told us to come to one of their small raves, I just fell on edge as if everyone was carrying something,couldn't enjoy myself
Such a life 😂complete waste of time spent on merciless violence great well deserved 😂
When the black boys got involved, they ran like Greyhounds!😂
I remember Blundells from seventh avenue Manor Park, I was only little used to let us play in his ice cream vans,
Lol
They where grasses lenny Wiltshire cut his boat and Blundell grassed him up and he got 7 years
What lovely people.
The Chuckle Brothers lol
I do like the interviewer.
Look into what they did at the Weeley festival in the early 70’s. They were heavily outnumbered by the hells angels but they smashed the lot of them. Eddie lives near me and believe me they were a handful.
You from ockendon then
@donlogan6697 how's life under the swimming pool?? 😂😂 brilliant film 👍👍
Donlogan no great opposition our so called Hells Angels were too soft to tangle with real hard men.
Absolute BS they had everyone from all over London teamed up and just moved in the so called hells angels were SFA
The long good Friday are based on the blundells
