Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
West Ham supporters will appreciate the reference to one great Cockney Hero, James Tomkins but now another legend of the East End whose veins also flow claret & blue has shown why you don't mess with the Cockney boyz. I refer to an incident after UK Investor Show last night which saw the rozzers called.

Oh dear Scotty ……. looks like a “duvet day” might be coming down the road !

It was indeed a rather unpleasant incident. What happened was this – I was outside talking to Nigel Somerville, and some drink & drug addled young man walking down the road just barrelled into poor Nigel, sending him flying. I tried to smooth things over, but it quickly became apparent that the assailant was on planet zog, so we laughed it off & went back inside Darren’s restaurant. Then the strange man outside began banging on the window, followed soon by a huge crash, as he flung something at the outside window. Darren dashed outside to confront & deter him. Several other people, including Lucian also went outside to calm down the nutcase.
The nutcase then lunged for Lucian’s face, and Lucian took control of the situation very well – he didn’t punch the guy at all, that I saw. Lucian grabbed him by the neck & took him down, without injuring him at all, and then sat on his chest & explained calmly why he had to stop behaving so badly.
Seeing that Lucian was on his own, and that the attacker was thrashing around a bit, I decided impulsively that Lucian needed some backup, so I dashed outside and sat on the attackers legs, and told him in no uncertain terms that he had 2 × 15 stone men sitting on him, so he wasn’t going anywhere! Lucian turned to me, and quipped “How dare you, I’m only 13 stone 6”.
The Rozzers then turned up, and I foolishly gave my name & number as witness, so no doubt the junkie who admitted to one of our group that he had “come out looking for trouble” will probably use legal aid to sue us for infringing his human rights.
The reality was that Lucian was a total gentleman, calm, and fair. The offender got off very lightly indeed, spending a night in the cells.
I’ve never liked Clerkenwell. What a shithole.

Bunch of drunken idiots.
TW Note: FL as you were not there you do not know facts. See PS note below. So once again you are shown to be talking 100% utter cockI remember you boasting about Broker Man Dan lamping someone.
This pathetic (and probably illegal) behaviour is nothing to boast about.

Wildrides – it’s a Bank Holiday, so we can relax & enjoy ourselves!
If you think you can do a better job than me, reporting on over 500 small caps, in detail, then please be my guest. It’s not as easy as it looks!
Regards, Paul.
