16th April 2008

Dave has sent Mark Fish a "Guardian Angel" to watch over him. Mark took one look and said "I think I'll take my chances!"

Wanna see the angel DC sent him (and the reason for his response)? CLICK HERE

15th April 2008

Well, it seems that Dave and I aren't the only people to view his "bail" in the Bristol case with some suspicion. I have just received the following from another old pal, Tel Currie:

JAIL, BAIL, FARCE AND A MASTERPLAN MADE OF GLASS!!

So, Dave Courtney has been bailed. With the sheer weight of evidence in his favour, there is no way Dave Courtney could go down for what he’s being accused of. The case is cut and dried and should of been thrown out of court last Friday, so why wasn’t it?

Moreover, why was nobody the least bit surprised upon hearing DC will now appear at a later date?

This of course buys time... But for WHO?

Being on bail is an extremely fragile place to be, it’s a tightrope with no safety harness. If Dave Courtney makes the most minor of mistakes while on bail, he will be straight in jail on remand.It has been known on many occasions for those in a similar situation to be ‘helped along’ when on bail and find themselves in prison after something had been ‘found’ that was not there before or other unsavory works of the supernatural!

Of course, nobody is saying this is what will happen but it’s not unheard of. Why is more time needed? That’s the interesting question. Could it be the starter was far from filling and the main course will take longer to cook up than usual?

If that is the plan, it’s extremely transparent because everyone has said exactly the same thing.

I would suggest that if DC is arrested again before his next appearance in Bristol it would be worth looking at the reason why extremely closely.

Can I also take this opportunity to announce with great regret and sympathy that Chris Lambrianou phoned me on Sunday to inform me of the death of his brother Leon. Rest in peace my friend and please spare a thought and sympathy for the Lambrianou family. Leon is the third of the brothers to pass away in four years, only Chris & Jimmy remain.

PLEASE SOMEBODY BRING ON SOME GOOD NEWS!!!

14th April 2008

Our old friend Mark Fish has had a spot of bother. Mark has been dashing up and down the motorways for the past seven weeks overseeing the filming of the movie of Charlie Bronson's life. A couple of days ago he was at a set of traffic lights with his young daughter in the passenger seat. He pulled away, heard a loud twang and hit a lamp-post. Neither he nor his daughter were hurt, but the front of the car was rather bent.

An auto-technician who surveyed the car said that someone had loosened the nuts and locking nuts on his track rod ends. "They couldn't have come undone themselves" said the technician, "Someone must have done it deliberately."

From minor corrosion evidence on the threads, the technician said he reckoned that they had been loosened to within two turns of coming off about two weeks earlier. Mark is extremely lucky that they didn't come undone while he was belting down the motorway ... DISASTER ... or maybe that was the intension!

Mark's attitude? "I don't give a f**k if someone wants to kill me. It wouldn't be the first time. I don't know if I've pissed somebody off with what I'm doing for Charlie, but endangering my innocent daughter is another matter!"

11th April 2008

Dave phoned this afternoon after leaving court in Bristol to tell me that had been bailed to appear at another date. Very strange considering the weight of evidence he has to beat the charges. Strange? Perhaps not.

Dave says it seems pretty obvious why:

"Everyone knows what happens if you're arrested again when you're on bail. You are straight in on remand, no question. So, they've put me on bail 'cos they're cooking something up. I expect that, before my next appearance in Bristol, they will arrest me for something else and I get a 'Go Directly To Jail, Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect £200' card!"

Personally, I've never known Dave to be wrong in these matters, so keep watching this space.

If you're in the Swansea area this evening you might like to consider going to the Audience With Carlton Leach at the 4 Seasons Club,  Trallwn Rd, Llansamlet, Swansea, SA7 9UQ [MAP], as Dave will be in attendance with his good friend Carlton.

5th April 2008

TEL CURRIE: DIAMOND GEEZER

28th February 2008

24th February 2008

The following is just in from Tel Currie:

I fear for the morality of this great nation of ours. A nation that has been through so much in the last century and has been forced to take up arms to avoid oppression on more than one occasion. Now, it would appear governments are admiring and even copying the oppressor rather than the lessons that can be learned from the oppressed. Must justice now revolve around the idea of crushing a man's spirit and then waiting hauntingly & ghoulishly whilst looking at their watches for the body literally to be crushed as well. Will they not clock off until a man is buried deep in the earth, a technique rejected by even the most barbaric of country's?

What more can a slow grinding system do to Ronnie Biggs? Even the dimmest of us know this system has ground itself so hard it has dug, stumbled and fallen into a hole it can not climb out of! We all know the only idea they actually have is to wait for Ronnie Biggs to die. This is not just deserts, it's a complete lack of imagination and ideas.

This inspiring system was used on Reggie Kray. The system killed Reg Kray. The correct check ups and treatment would have diagnosed cancer in time to save him. I for one, refuse to believe they wanted to save him. His death solved too many problems for them to resist, it was a glorious open goal that even the worst striker in the world would have made sure he did not miss even with his weak foot!

So they told him it was nothing to worry about and for crippling stomach pain gave him two paracetamol at a time, an amount I wouldn't bother with even for the mildest of headaches!

Then, when it was too late, up jumped a cancer diagnosis!

Oh dear, where could that of come from ... whoops-a-daisy.

The system has Reg Kray's blood on it's hands and the people responsible are probably rather proud of it.

Now we have the same ingenious method being used on Ronnie Biggs. The difference between Reg and Ronnie Biggs is huge. Biggsy was no real villain, he was a desperate man who was skint. He was not feared like Reg because A) that's not in him and B) he was a carpenter NOT a gangster. He was not a threat to society then, so what does that make him now?

Like Bronson, Kevin Lane & Razor Smith, Biggs is a non-killer unlike, the government who keep them in jail for being naughty! How many young men & women have politicians killed over the years? Ha! Ha! ... It's almost funny... almost. It's like Peter Sutcliffe putting you in prison for G.B.H.!!!

Think of those who unleash hell on Iraq & Afghanistan, then think of a near 80 year old man who can't talk and has had numerous strokes who sat in a lorry watching an unarmed robbery over 40 years ago and has never hurt a sausage. Who's the evil party here? Well the old bloke obviously! He obviously has no morals. "Ooops... sorry that was a civilian shelter we blew up but isn't that Ronnie Biggs a nasty man, isn't Charlie Bronson violent?" Violent????? Ha! Ha! Ha! Good one!

The War mongers obviously don't think we are intelligent enough to work out what they are doing. The fact that a brain dead lemming with amnesia could work it out is more a reflection on them than us. It would surely be a vote winner if, whilst invading the world, the system also showed a small capability for compassion by letting an old man out of prison over forty years after his extremely minor part in a crime.

MR politician, we are not that stupid. Show some imagination, show some compassion, show some justice and you might ... just might ... regain some of the respect you lost years ago.

TEL CURRIE

17th February 2008

Just in case any of you have forgotten, our old friend Ronnie Biggs is still in prison! Mike Gray, who staunchly runs the Free Biggs Campaign has put together a compilation of photos and a track of music ... his own version of "Knocking on Heaven's Door" (recorded under the name The Train Robberz) ... which is now featured on YouTube. But why go traipsing over there to watch it when you can watch it in comfort here:

5th February 2008

Here's an offer you just can't refuse: I still have a small number of the very exclusive limited edition montage posters of Dave left. There were only 200 numbered autographed copies of this poster produced and I have less than 25 left now at the bargain price of £15.00 each (including p&p). The poster is black and white on best quality glossy poster paper, measuring 420mm x 297mm.

If you wish to be one of the 200 in the country to own this collectors item then click on the Paypal button to the left. But you'd better be quick: the button will be removed once all the posters have gone.

2nd February 2008

Just got off the phone to Dave, who was at the airport catching a plane to Spain. He's off to the mountains of Spain for a few days with international showjumper Oliver Skeet to fish for catfish, which to grow to eight feet and more than 200 lbs (over 90 kgs)!

Just an example of what Dave might find on the end
of his line. This one was caught in the same area and
weighed in at 226 lbs!

A couple of weeks ago Dave phoned the Wandsworth police to go in for his interview and was told that they weren't ready for him, but that they hoped they weren't causing him any inconvenience or worry. Dave was supposed to have an interview with them today, but left a message at the police station saying much the same thing!

He'll be back in time for his Leeds show towards the end of next week.

30th January 2008

WANNA PLAY POOL WITH DAVE?

Dave Courtney is famous for his ability to play pool using ONLY ONE HAND ... a skill he learned in prison. In fact, Dave NEVER plays two handed and it's a sight worth seeing. Even better, it's worth experiencing for yourself. If you'd like to spend a night in Dave's company at his home, the awesome Camelot Castle, playing him on his own table then be our guest. Win or lose, an evening of pool and unusual one-to-one banter with Dave is available to you for only £100. Yup, you heard me right. Just £100! And ... if you'd like to take us up on this offer ... we'll feature a photo of you with Dave (providing you remember to take one) on this Home Page.

HEY ... impress the hell out of your mates with who YOUR Pal is and tell them the incredible stories about YOUR great night ... and if they doubt your stories then just tell them to take a look at YOUR photo on DC's website.

He might even ask you to make an appearance in his next FILM or PHOTOSHOOT! Who knows what will happen on YOUR night with Dave?

Interested? Can't wait? Just email mal@davecourtney.com for details and then book your night. Dave would love to give you an evening to remember for the rest of your life!

25th January 2008

In memory of Tel Currie Snr. A real man, gentleman and legend never to be forgotten! He will be missed.

22nd January 2008

Well, we finally found out what the Wandsworth police want to talk to Dave about. He says it's regarding a "road rage" incident back in the Summer of 2005! We'll bring you more just as soon as we know anything.

14th January 2008

Our old mate Charlie Bronson has a new book out on 6th June (published by Apex Publishing Ltd.) with a forword by Charlie Richardson and Tel Currie. Called LOONYOLOGY, it has contributions from many people including Charlie Richardson, Ronnie Knight, Howard Marks, Albert Chapman, Tel Currie Snr, Jason Marriner and Bernie Davies.

Once again, it's available now to pre-book at Amazon. So, just click on the book cover above to go to the Amazon page.

Incidentally, if anyone is trying to get through to our great pal Tel Currie on his mobile with no luck, don’t worry. Tel is NOT ignoring you! His current mobile phone is knackered but he will have a new one in a day or so and will be texting all his pals his new number.

9th January 2008

The story carried on the 5th January regarding Wandsworth police has taken a slight twist. When they contacted Dave at the weekend it was an "urgent matter". However, when Dave's solicitor phoned them on Monday they told him not to bother phoning until next Wednesday, as they weren't ready! And we're still none the wiser as to what they want to interview him about.

8th January 2008

Another great new book by Dave Courtney and Jim Dawkins to be released later this year: THE BRITISH CRIME AND PRISON QUIZ BOOK with a foreword by our old mate Charlie Bronson. Available now to pre-book at Amazon. Just click on the book cover above to go to the Amazon page. READ ALL ABOUT IT HERE ...

Dave received an honourable mention on the front page of INSIDE TIME (the national newspaper for prisoners) this month for the wonderful thing he did for Lorna (pictured above) and all the hard-working ladies of PRISON CHAT UK. Read all about it HERE.

5th January 2008

Two rather interesting pieces of news from Dave:

The police have told Dave that his car, which he was driving when arrested by Bristol cops a few weeks ago, was retrieved from them by the She-Devil girls who formerly managed this website for a short period (and claimed to have designed it!). Dave says that he had purchased the car from them and paid to have it repaired, but didn't receive any documentation. The police say that the girls had all the correct paperwork when they came to collect it. Dave is somewhat angry, as he says that they had previously texted him on several occasions to say that they did not collect his car. The plot thickens.

More seriously, Dave has been contacted by Wandsworth police who have told him to get his solicitor to phone them on Monday and arrange an appointment for an interview with them next week. They said that Dave was likely to be arrested at the interview for something that happened a couple of years ago ... but they haven't said what! This is a slightly worrying development, as Dave is still on bail from Bristol nick, so a subsequent arrest could mean a spell on remand. Watch this space.

24th December 2007

... to all our visitors

Dave, Mal, Lesley and the team.

20th December 2007

Well, they're coming thick and fast now. Here's another letter from DAVE to BRISTOL POLICE.

19th December 2007

Another word from Dave about what's been happening in his life recently just came in, which you can read HERE.

On a personal note, I'd just like to thank all the people who have sent such kind emails welcoming me back to the site. It's stuff like that which makes my job so worthwhile. The job goes on and for any of you who want to ask any questions regarding the website (or website design/maintenance) the email address is mal@davecourtney.com.

18th December 2007

Dave's asked me to put up a letter for you which he wrote to the Bristol Police regarding the "live bullets" he is supposed to have had on him when stopped back in October, SO HERE IT IS.

14th December 2007

Another great Cage Rage event coming up:

Click on the pic to go to the Cage Rage website and buy tickets.

12th December 2007

Dave will be appearing at the "GLAMOUR" Launch Party at LEVEL Nightclub in Kettering on Saturday 22nd December. [ MAP ] So, if you live in the Northamptonshire area get yer arses down there. More information soooooon (well, as soon as I get it).

10th December 2007

MAL'S BACK !

It's been more than a year since I last sat in the driving seat here, but Dave has asked me to take the helm on his website again, so you might see a few changes over the coming months as I progressively re-tidy and re-organise the site.

First things first: Dave has made a statement about his recent brush with the law, which you can read HERE.

Now, if you've put Dave's show in Ongar on the 14th in your diary please run a line through it, as it is being rescheduled for next year. Apologies to all those who will be disappointed, but 2008 promises to be a record year for shows, so do not despair: Dave will be appearing at a venue near you in the not-too-distant future.

17th November 2007

Dave will be appearing on the Victoria Derbyshire phone in programme on BBC Radio Five on Tuesday 20th November between 10am - 11am. Along with author Terry Smith (Apex Publishing).

Dave will be interviewed at the studio at Television Centre in White City, Terry in Chelmsford.

They plan to talk about ex-criminals who have written biographies. As you may have heard, Gordon Brown mentioned in a speech on Liberty last month that he does not like seeing ex criminals making money from publishing their stories.

In reaction to this the BBC Radio Five wish to invite a few (in-)famous ex-criminals onto their show to talk about why they decided to write their books, how they went about it and also their experiences in crime.

They wished Dave to be on their show because he has published six books and stated they consider him to be an authority on this issue.

Saturday 13th October 2007

Hi All, Sorry I haven't been updating the site much but due to ill health on my part I have been confined to my bed for the past 4 weeks or so (thank you for all the cards and flowers I didn't receive) but don't worry Dave has been keeping me in good spirits offering to give me a bed bath and rub Vicks on my chest (I wonder why?)

Anyway,  I am now going through the daunting task of ploughing through the 200+ e-mails I have received during my absence (hence why it is 1.35am on a Friday night and I'm writing to you lovely lot and not out and about this evening).

I do have some great news for you all, you now have a choice of 2 new amazing shops to choose from as well as our brilliant current one.

Monday 3rd September 2007

Yesterday Dave took almost 100 of his most loyal and trustworthy men to Brentwood, Essex to be the security at the wedding of his good friend model Jodie Marsh and Matthew Peacock.

The men who travelled from as far away as Wales to be there guarded the gates and premises whilst approx 10 trained security dogs patrolled the surrounding perimeter all with the aim of preventing the press from having access to the very sort after pictures of the wedding which was the highly anticipated climax to Jodie's hit TV show "Jodie Marsh-Who's Gonna Take Her Up The Isle" for MTV.

The Wedding was situated at Jodie's parents home in there beautifully landscaped garden under an amazing marquee decorated with flowers, chandeliers and hanging mirrored mobiles and Jodie wore an amazing red dress. The reception afterwards was held at the pool side.

Unfortunately due to the high security status of the day we are unable to bring you any photographs of the event however, you can find info and even watch it by clicking  www.mtv.co.uk/jodie/thewedding
