Legendary gangster John Binden

[Arch Stanton]

There was a recent Real Crime program on TV about John Binden. He was a very hard man foever involved in violence and extortion rackets.

He has a famous party trick of hanging 4 or 5 half pint glasses on his erect dick. He used to do this in pubs and parties

At the same time he had such a compelling personality with good social skills that he often played himself as hardmen in TV programs like Hazell. Princess Margaret got wind of him and asked him to demonstrate his party trick while stoned at her pad in Mustique.

Binden was a friend fo the Krays. He ruled West London and the Krays ruled the East. He used to walk into trendy Chelsea pubs and get loads of protection money.

He got badly injured when trying to carry out a gangland murder in Putney but managed to get to Ireland. But he got taken to court but was acquited as actor Bob Hoskins explained that he was called Biffo as he was sweet and cuddly and Biffo was short for Biffo the Bear not for Biffing as in fighting.

Years later Binden died of drugs and AIDs.

You mean.............................................

.....................he didn't die from bipolar disorder which was brought on by the personality disorders of everyone he met?????????????!!!!

!confused!

You are full of surprises, Tarquin.

It only needs time. He's a compulsive remember? He's got the wiki url ready to paste into the forum and he's sat biting his hands, telling himself to stop.

He can taste the blood about now, and feel the salty tears running down his cheeks. He must overcome his impulses......



































........but it's so very..............hard.

Princess Maragret was Bi Polar ?

Tarquin will emphasise that she has "Being Princess Margaret" Personality Disorder.

However, in the days of Diana, she was 'Di-Polar'; ie Mags suffered depression in the presence of Diana, and became highly elated when she saw a horse.

Hearing about the Diana (waste of money) inquest makes me depressed.

Does this make me Di-polar ?

[fudgeflaps]

Borderline totally normal/ di-polar/ "just spider" personality disorder.

Doc Tarquin will provide a diagnosis using the Triceratops Centenary edition of Wikipedia in due course.

He was in Poor Cow and Department S episode called "Who Plays The Dummy"?

He was also security when Led Zep toured the US in '75. Both him and manager, Peter Grant administered a real kicking to a yank security guard who slapped Grants son.
Overall, a fair one
