Corpsey
bandz ahoy
This week I've been mostly watching videos on the subject of 'Britain's hardest convict' and all-round awful man Paul Sykes (R.I.P.)
The jumpoff: YouTube recommends me this documentary about Paul Sykes, which features the 6'4" heavweight boxer turned convict bullier/buggerer Paul mouthing off in his charismatic/tedious/scary way about how hard and intellectual he is before being released from jail to get married and bully his new wife and two sons (both of whom are now in jail for life for murder). We learn how Paul was beaten up by his own father, 'man hands on misery to man' and all that.
The follow up: Various videos, but above all several from Geordie hardman/ex-con Paul Cockerill talking about how Sykes was known for knocking out young convicts and buggering them (lovely stuff all this) and how another renowned hardman convict got in Sykes's face about it.
As with many of these rabbit holes, I spent as much if not more time reading comments under the videos than watching them. There seems to be quite an active community of ex-cons on YouTube (or people pretending they are).
I was going to make a thread about hard men but maybe we'll get more done by sharing our own particular dive-ins/nose-dives.
