    This guy is still at it at over 60 years old! :smiley-laughing002:

    Some of his life highlights include;

    • Considers the Kray twins as "the two best guys i've ever met".
    • Was described by Reggie Kray as "the most frightening visit I had"
    • spent four months in isolation after he was caught trying to dig his way out of his cell.
    • attempted to strangle child * murderer John White
    • attempted to strangle Gordon Robinson to death but was prevented from doing so when the silk tie he was using to garotte him snapped
    • used a sauce bottle to stab Mervin Horley, a prisoner who made advances towards him
    • once strangled the governor of Wormwood Scrubs during one particularly violent episode
    • took a train to London, bought a water pistol, modified it, and used it to intimidate a stranger into driving him to Luton
    • embarked on a short-lived career in illegal bare-knuckle boxing in the East End of London
    • He offered to fight Lenny McLean, but was refused
    • spent time in isolation for punching a prisoner and a prison officer and throwing water on the governor
    • he "went over the edge" and ran riot in the nude, clutching onto a spear he fashioned out of a broken bottle and a broom handle
    • he took a civilian librarian hostage, and demanded an inflatable doll, a helicopter and a cup of tea from police negotiators. He released the hostage after being disgusted when he broke wind in front of him
    • an Iraqi hijacker bumped into him in the canteen and did not apologise. After a long period of brooding he then took two Iraqi hijackers, along with another inmate named Jason Greasley, hostage in a cell. He sang and laughed and forced the Iraqis to tickle his feet and call him 'General'. He demanded a plane to take him to Libya, two Uzi sub-machine guns, 5,000 rounds of ammunition, and an axe. He released Greasley, but began chanting "I want ice cream". He felt guilty after hitting one of the hostages with a metal tray and therefore insisted the same hostage hit him over the head four times so as to call it 'quits'
    • Named himself Charles Bronson despite having never seen an actual Charles Bronson movie

    The guy's fascinating, I find it a shame that he often gets surmised as simply a psychopath (though by all accounts he is). What led him to where he is was nothing but an intense want to be something more than what he was born into, something I think a lot of us can relate to.

    Have you tried greasing yourself up with 'low in fat, high in omega 3 olive oil' spread? It's actually good consumer advice from the journalist.

    I do object to them not telling us whether is was salted or unsalted though!

    Iv read his auto biography years ago. I think his original sentance was like 5 years or something. Been in prison all his life completely institutionalised, I wonder if he was let down a bit by the system.

    If he ever sees the light if day I don't think he'd be able to adapt to modern day life. Something quite sad about it.
