You can say it with an a at the end in the context of disucissing the wire in the yo speak, surely.

[DotCommunist]

[Crispy]

oh actually i think your talking about the wrong person, yo!

One following bubs path is not the same person as the scavenger kid!

 

[DotCommunist]

he didn't end up using, he ended up doing donkey shows for his rent and dealing. Don't think there was ever any definitive thing about him using. Although he blates will after a month in his new digs.

Spoiler: justincase

well I passed out before lasts nights episode mad but I'm almost certain that there was a shot of him shooting up during that montage.long time since I saw that ep though

Spoilered just in case

 

[kained&able]

you on about the kid who lived with bubs who bubs tried to get back into school and was shocked when he couldn't do a bit of maths that i couldn't do? he definmatly uses.

Or dookie, micheals mate who looked after his brother and was the smelly mate of randy and nay and everyone. Who i dont think used but like you havent watched the ep for a while.

Wires have been crossed somewhere i reckon.

[kained&able]

swear he didn't use, but may have blinked. Who knows. Like i said if he ain't using now he will be in a week.


dave

 

[YouSir]

He wasn't shown using in last nights episode, he was working a corner for Michael though.

 

[tar1984]

I have the dvd of s.1 now. I have a week to watch it. 13 episodes in a week - easy.

I'm wondering, is it all of the same characters focused on in s.1? Obv a lot will be the same but Nay and Michael and all that would be pretty young if you go back 4 years.

 

[kained&able]

coppers stay about the same throughout and some of the dealers stay around for all or most of it everyone else is different, although might be in it for an episode randomly.


dave

 

[tar1984]

Ta dave.

I can't wait for s.5 to start. I as going to stop watching it so I could go back and watch the earlier ones first, but when it comes on I can't not watch it.

I don't recall seeing you express an opinion on S5, have you been a bit shy or have I missed it?

No Prez watches Dukie out slinging at the corner during the montage.

 

[London_Calling]

Oh, what the hell was the ring about?

 

[Dillinger4]

The thing dotty is thinking of is in S5.

 

[Dillinger4]

Oh, what the hell was the ring about?

I reckon it is a red herring.

 

[gnoriac]

Oh, what the hell was the ring about?

Didn't he nick it off that arsehole cop? Presumably, repercussions about that to come.

bollocks, I've spoilerd unintentionally
@self

 

[kained&able]

Oh, what the hell was the ring about?

i suspect theres something deep and meaningful about power and status and transference or something.

What was the full journey:

? > Marlo
Marlo > Omar
Omar > cop
cop > Michael?

 

[Crispy]

Marlo took it off whatisface who runs the wheel-rims shop.

 

[DotCommunist]

It's cool when Marlo sees Michael wearing it and asks him where he got it. Circle complete.

Ol' Face Andre wasn't it?

Lost in the mists of time for me.

Ol' Face Andre wasn't it?

Rings a vague bell achooly.

michael was prepared to give it to him as well which im sure was a poignent moment that i couldn't quite work out.

Yeh, and he doesn't run RIM SOURCE II, he was just visiting.

dave

Loyalty ennit?

When Marlo took it the first time it was given out of fear. Michael offered it without question or thought, just loyalty. Which is one of the minor little things that lets Marlo trust him as part of the inner circle. IMO
