"Ask him his name please." "Vot eess yoor naym?" As I remember it he got done for contempt. stories been doing the rounds for years in various guises,pretty sure its an urban myth.deserves to be genuine though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was called up once as main witness to a very serious assault. Never went and never heard anything from them again! you were the main witness and you never turned up?and nothing happened?i can only assume the case had already been dealt with then as otherwise I'm pretty sure youd have been lifted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pat on the heid and an aipple?” (Slang words in posh accent added to the hilarity I’m told.) there used to be a sherriff Cameron doing the court circuits in the north of Scotland in tain,dornoch and wick. he had an evil,malicious wee smile and when he did smile you knew someone was getting it-I mind him telling a defence solicitor,doing his usual lying mitigation pish, that the more he came out with his guff the worse it would be for his client. the solicitor wisely shut up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they arrived and started trying to sort the issue out a woman copper was called by the accused a “fucking fat c**t” which was quite funny hearing the clerk saying out loud. I remember being in court about 20 years ago when a policewoman had to inform the court a local jakey had refereed to her as "a hatchet faced c**t",id seen her in the police witness room earlier where her upcoming evidence was causing much hilarity ran into her again a couple of months ago and reminded her about this, she rolled her eyes and told me shes never been allowed to live it down since 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not realise it was Eric Bana's first acting role, if you have a look at clips of the real Chopper Reed you can see how bang on Eric Bana got him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't mind the name of the Australian comic, but there are a few clips on YouTube of a boy who done short comedy skits of Chopper. I'd seen these a while before the movie and couldn't really take the character seriously as a result! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in the pub and Uncle Albert says he picked up some German in the navy. He then, word for word, says the court story But Im sure its just a coincidence. Courts being well know places for that kind of comedic genius, particularly in the 70s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
