@Sozlled oh what do u know of Arthur Thompson, i saw a thing on him and his son who got killed and a heroin deal , a few others but i cant remember their names, i always wanted to go out there to your country , it looks nice, even since i was a young kid watching Discovery chanel and stuff abouat Scotland the green hills ans stuff look awesome, u guys have that train called "clockwork orange" right? or is it still operating...are those guys from the Thomson crew flashy?they walk around and stuf?

[msnikish11]

@Sozlled yes but they also walk around and would like everyone that sees them to know they are some kind of tough guy especially out here, just cockiness really, Glasgow huh? i saw some things on underworld over there , it said to produce their share of tough guys as well, some guys were arguing about Glasgow being more relevant than Manchester England, like some people were talking about on a video for Dominck Noonan"A Very British Gangster" did u see that or know of him?haha and a vid on chavs

[Sozlled]

@msnikish11 New York, nah. I am from Glasgow Scotland.

I see you're point about the young guys coming up wanting to be known BUT only known in the family or among the other families, not in the media.

I hear some guys from New York who couldn't get made there would try and join a New Jersey crew cause, apparently it was easier to get made. Then again that was before The Sopranos TV show virtually brought down the DeCavalcante family, which i hear was the oldest family in the US.

@Sozlled oh ya, one interesting guy i saw something about was Tommy "karate"Pitera, his early life right before he got mixed in with that life was intersting his story is up here...that true about Carlo Gambino, idk i guess its kind of hard especially when your young to not want to have people know who you are, i knew a couple of people who went to school with John Jr. and in high school he was atrociously obnoxious and loud mouthed bully type, where u from? u notin NY?

[Sozlled]

@msnikish11 Carlo Gambino seemed like one of the best bosses, a legend. Don't know much about the other families expect the Genovese, and Vito Genovese was nothing like Carlo Gambino. He practically brought down his own family.

It's the quiet ones, the ones you never hear about that are the best bosses, the best gangsters.

Apparently a Sicilian is running what's left of the DeCavalcante family.
