Brighton Characters & Underworld Figures

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

I have been living in Brentwood, Arsessex, for a while now, but have been reminiscing over some dodgy characters from Brighton that I once knew...whatever happened to..

Dave Day
Slippery Sinden
Shifty Dave Wells
Shady Dave Wells
Banjo
Frank Frimpong

What names!! can anyone help??

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Dave Day is still going strong. He seems to be owning more and more bars in Brighton everyday thru his Golden Lion Group...

Is it just me, or does the Golden Lion logo bear an uncanning resemblance to a man who recently bought a football ground in Croydon?

 

[The Large One]

Dave is actually SELLING his bars. He has sold both Ebony Room and Leo's Lounge recently, and Leo and Leone now run the show, albeit overseen by Dave adn Annette.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Whatever happened to NSC's favourite, ahem, character 'Canarian seagull'?

 

[desprateseagull]

i thought hoogstraaaten was the 'guvnor', around these parts..?

Didn't Lord B see him recently? Seem to remember him mentioning it. Great gesture for "him" to buy that champagne for the players that time, to be fair.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Come on Col - get a picture of Simon Jordan and the Goldion Lion pub chain logo up, so we can compare and contrast...

I thought Canarian was a star performer at that NSC-sponsored match. Top bloke! Particularly impressed by the way he managed to purloin about three main courses and half a dozen desserts off the portion-control-conscious serving staff. The GLEE on his face

 

[Chicken Run]

Dave now owns Barneys in Hove, I also spoke to Frank the other day, that guy is made for a part in a Snatch style Movie

 

[dylan_bha]

Is it true that Tommy is a relative of Mad Frankie?

Send the boys in!!

 

[Bry Nylon]

Carnage in that room. Pure carnage...

edit: in reference to Tom Hark's comment about NSC sponsored game... I had told my then g/friend that I ws going out for a civilised day at the football for once. Finally got home covered in food, red wine wine all down my top and barely able to talk... we're not together anymore

I've still got a deep gouge in me front door where I tried to get the key in the lock afterwards. It's about nine inches long, right through the paint to the wood, and nowhere near the lock in question

And my attempted 'bunny ears' on Watto in the post-match group photo failed miserably. Just looks like a cheery wave Bah!

 

[Man of Harveys]

The evening when I just about match Cannarian (sic) for ONE drink of every of his TWO sticks in the memory - he and his mates were knocking on my door to drag me to the pub at 7.30pm the next day - while I was STILL vomiting from the night before.

"Hello sweetness, what's your name? Gissa kiss. Don't suppose there's any chance of ANOTHER one of those steaks is there? You are my favourite, d'you know that?"

LEGEND - great bloke

 

[KNC]

Send the boys in!!

Yer, grandson.

Shamefully, I can't recall the name of our waitress, but she looked after us superbly, and didn't bat an eyelid at the unseemly goings on in the sponsor's suite that day

The legendary Eva. Was about eighty years old as I recall. Which I do. Barely.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Eva Eva Cantilever

I do recall she got a huge tip. Especially as I told Simster everyone was chucking a fiver

 

[Man of Harveys]

Did Cannarian get Afters to tip for him and promise to pay him back later?
