The 90s was really intimidating for people.

You had to get out of it.

If you were to explain to the listener what the 90s was like in Newcastle, how would you explain that? Everybody was tooled up, everybody's carrying. I was carrying a gun at the finish because I had threats on my life as many times. You should sleep with a submachine gun? I like people pulling guns on us and just letting him go above my head and that. There's a guy there now called Alan Swindon

De Inris too he is

Jimmy's got his hand on the counter. Tell him to show me, f***ing him in the spec. Alan pulls a machete huge. He chopped his fingers off. I'm innocent young kid. I think he's 19-year-old or something. He's shived him three times. Killed him. He's dead. He most wanted a man in the country.

He was on his tours.

He was on the crime stuff as,

crime watch. He was all over the place. We've got 25 years left. He's still there now. Do you know who killed Viv Graham? People want to tell the truth. I'll say it how it is. Welcome to the Eventful Lives podcast.
