Nothing like some of the above, but when I was very young we lived in 5 doors up from a house with 3 kids in it about the same age as my Brother and I and we were all thick as thieves, but when I was about 6 we moved a few miles down the road to the next town because it was nicer, better school etc - we were heart broken, but in hindsight is was for the best - One of the brothers is a really decent bloke, didn't do great in school, but tried hard, got some sort of GNVQ in Cooking from the local college, worked his way up the ladder and owns a nice little restaurant some where or other.

But the other two are just unhinged, they started as shoplifters and house breakers in their early teens, progressed to joy riding as soon as they could reach the pedals and petty small time drug dealing - one time they stole a car for fun, drink / high or whatever and ended up in a Police chase, crashed, rolled the car (an XR2 I think) horrible mess, the older of the two came around upside down in the car and saw his younger brother, who would have been about 15 at the time, with his face covered in blood and unconscious - did he set aside his usual criminal instincts and try to help his brother? Call for an Ambulance and accept his fate with the law? No, the waste of good skin ran away and left his brother to die. He didn't die, but the side of his face had scraped the tarmac so he looked like a burns victim and lost a good part of his ear. Last I heard the older of the two was being sent down for trying to hold up a post office with an air pistol.

They're not unique in anyway, there's thousands of scrotes like them up and down the country, the only thing that makes it note worthy is that, after we moved away their parents had another child who grew up to win 'Popstars - the Rivals' sadly for them, he was in 'one true voice' rather than Girls Aloud.

I guy who was my best mate and next door neighbour as kids went to Thailand and sold arms to dodgy foreign governments. Proper arms too like tanks, helicopter gunships, RPGs by the tanker load and the like. He's still a close mate now he's back but he did spend a few years moving round the country as his "boss" didn't take kindly to him leaving.

He lives the Life of Reilly nowadays. Hasn't worked since his early 30s and never will need or want to again.

Some cracking stories, including one that makes The Hangover tiger story look positively tame. He bought a cub in a bar, although it was pretty well grown. The following day the drugs used to sedate it had obviously worn off and he returned to his flat to find his housekeeper bleeding a lot and a chunk of her leg missing.
I had a biking mate in Malaysia who fits this profile very well. Exceptionally tall, funny and a totally deranged laugh?

A guy I used to train with years ago always seemed like a nice enough bloke, several years after I'd stopped training there I heard he was in jail after police found a lot of kiddy porn on his PC yikes

Other than that I think the dodgiest person I know was a mates ex who used to put apple and yoghurt in coleslaw, that's just wrong!

A girl that I grew up with decided she liked the older men so when she was 16 she shacked up with a bloke who lived in our village. He was obviously as dodgy as fk. We tried to explain to her that he was a nutter but she didn't listen and said what a really nice bloke he was deep down.

After about 6 months of them being together he killed two MOT inspectors in his own garage in Stockport after they busted him for dabbling in an MOT scam. Shotgun to each of their faces. Went down for life.

An acquaintance did time for child porn and associated activities.

I always considered him a bit dodgy tbh, so it wasn't a huge surprise.

My brother was introduced to Nick Leeson shortly after he got out of jail & before he was at Galway FC. He outlined a business proposal, my brother listened patiently & said 'the problem is Nick, that your reputation precedes you...'.
My wife worked with him on the LIFFE floor.

Utter cock by all accounts.

A family member of mine is in prison after holding up a newsagent with a knife. He also did time in a young offenders institute after knocking an old bloke unconscious and causing him brain damage.


Utter scum.

The boy friend in this murder was the year above me at school, always felt sorry for him as he was bullied.

I know a bloke who killed someone. Was reduced to manslaughter. He's out now. Good guy. Played football with him.

There are many others that I won't even allude to, for the simple reason that they are friends and/or business acquaintances of mine or my familys, but they are very serious people.

And one of my closest relatives was recently facing 7 firearms offences and 2 counts of assault.

Oh and there's another fella, a Cypriot, who has diplomatic immunity and has received calls from government ministers while in our company on a night out.

Other than that, no-one really...

These people you know, did someone write a book or two about them to piss them off?

A former colleague was tried for funding terrorism and exciting terrorism abroad.
Exciting terrorism, is that like playing catch with the grenade once you've taken the pin out or forgetting where you hid the bomb?

My previous step father (now deceased) had 4 spells in prison for armed & violent crime spanning 20 years. Last time he was banged up was for smuggling drugs on a camel across Morocco. He became a painter whilst banged up and ended up a well renowned artist. Quite why my mother was attracted to him I'll never know. He had a heart attack whilst shagging some French peasant girl while still married to mum. Helped her get over his death quite quickly.

This guy - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2207919/Jo...

Met him in a bar in Marbella (friend of the family), he was so paranoid he thought that I was undercover police as I wasn't drinking. Nothing to do with the killer hangover that I had from the night previously.
