I dont dress up sorry. Whatever next!!
What's a Candyman dance?

Oh and you know i hate that word "DO".

Well i watched it.

what was your brain result on it Rob ??

Not bad Micheal in fact i thought it was pretty good.How accurate is the story? I know Billy Kimber was a real life Birmingham gangster.

I am really liking this

so who was Thomas Shelby
did he exist

how accurate is it

scary guys!

mind how fit is that cillian murphy
with his so so blue eyes

Is that Cillian whatsit i thought it should have been Gillian and was Thomas Shelby 's sister !! He's got the bluest eyes!!
I saw him in an Irish film about the IRA or rather the Black and Tans during the troubles.I've forgot the film. "The hand that shook the barley" i think.
Micheal may be able to tell you about Thomas Shelby his mom and grandmother were in Billy Kimbers's gang.

Jan.....Of course it's true pet !.....My Nan Florie Hall when I was a Kid would tell about Billy Kimber she was friends with a lot of the Race Gangs (Brumegum Boys
and BK would stay at Moms cottege in Alexander Rd,Halesowen, Nan would have prob. stopped at her sisters in Whitly Cottages
Billy Kimber was talked about a lot......Mom never knew who her father was ??????......Nan & Mom were very well traveled.but she (Nan) never disclosed to Mom nor I about who Moms father was ??...........Rob I never heard Shelby mentioned, but has been about 70 odd years ago.
