I've got to say it again but only by changing the way you think, and acting on it can anybody change their ways. You can stick someone in a top hotel to do their time, but he/she would still cause trouble, they'd find something wrong with it. I've been inside with some people who would fight...

Do you know what I agree. I'd never have thought I'd say that as an "ex offender" but you do make a good argument. But for me the solution to reducing numbers in prison would be when a prisoner got a say 4 year sentence, do all the 4 year instead of him/her out after 2 years. I tell you that...

Good advert as a warning : Don't take drugs !

A lot of prison officers in prisons in the 70's/80's were ex army. They came from a discipline background and were tough. I got on well with many of them as they were hard but fair, mess with them and you'd regret it, but behave yourself and they'd be fine. You find many cons who cause trouble...

I watched it last night. ITV at 10.45. Documentary on the state of prisons in the UK. On for an hour. Focused on riot in Winson Green, filmed by the cons ! Plus other nicks, talking to officers, and at the end the new head of prisons admitted they were in a mess. A good programme though.

No he just used words when he was drunk. She recorded his call, as she thought he may harm her etc. But lots of cons claim innocence, their nearly all angels of light ! I was old school and accepted my guilt and took my sentence, and got on with it. A lot of cons will never accept they did wrong...

My Rockblock has been chosen and its on now on Planet Rock !

Looking back at my time in prison I was celled up with all sorts of people. One bloke got 7 years for threatening his ex girlfriend on the phone, she reported him and he got sent down,his first offence. Another prisoner nicked money from a place where he worked, about a hundred quid, he got two...

Programme on the telly last night about the state of British prisons. As an ex con myself, but not been back for 20 years, I'm glad I cleaned my act up as what a mess they're in now. The inmates are ruling many gaols as there aren't enough prison officers to control them, and drugs are rife and...

I've put an England flag up anyway. I wait now to see if I'm told to take it down ? But I see England flags up all over Cov at the moment, so are we all commiting a crime ?

I was thinking who Cantona looked liked now ? And then it came to me if he put a swastika on his forehead, Charles Manson !

Usain Bolt says he's serious at becoming a footballer,and said he'd consider starting at a lower league club. Bolt and McNulty upfront !

Chapman formed the Streetwalkers after Family. They were pretty decent.

We had an English teacher called Mr Day at Cally in the late 60's. He was well into his music and often he'd bring in some vinyl, and his favourite band was Family,and I've liked them since listening to them in the classroom all those years ago. Not sure if they're still going ?

Off thread a little but I mentioned on Twitter the other day do they still do those half England/Cov shirts ? They were popular few years back. Anyway a City fan said he's got one never worn and I can have it. My size too so picking it up Tuesday. Fellow fan helping out another supporter.

Listening to Planet Rock on the radio. Danny Bowes lead singer of Thunder has his own show. He's just played Jailbreak/Thin Lizzy, Burlesque/ Family and Moth Into Flame/Metallica. Three awesome tracks !

Exactly Otis. I get on with the Polish couple by me and if they stick the Polish flag up I'll say nice one. I don't give a toss how many flags go up in the block, we all get on okay,except for a couple of anti social tenants, and I feel councils create friction when there isn't any there. The...

That's why I kept calm and wasn't rude to her. She was trying to be helpful but it was a complete communication breakdown. One of my favourite Zeppelin tracks too !

The block of flats I live in has people from all over the world. Polish, Nigerian, Jamaican, and from all over the UK. Someone said to me the other day Whitefriars the owners, have told tenants not to put England banners/flags up in case it "upsets" other tenants etc. Sod that my England flag is...
