Mr Ferris is the definition of don’t judge a book by the cover.
Dirty grass
@@jamesjones3371ooh , look , a keyboard gangster. I'm Glaswegian you wee baw bag , Pauls a lot of things , grass definitely isn't one of them. In my experience it's the one pointing fingers and shouting " grass" that always turns out to be the rodent.
Great film about Ferris’ life called The Wee Man
@jamesjones3371 you're the one who's mind jumps to grassing. Guess you got a guilty conscience
@@thigearlathaSpot on M8 absolutely not a grass think he battered someone's da or uncle 😂
Can't believe he didn't mention all them years hosting bullseye.
😂😂😂
He didn’t need to there’s enough “bully” coming out of his mouth.
“Out the black, in the red, you don’t get nowt for two in a bed”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😁😁😁😁😁
Two oldskool faces, I like how Ferris is so calm and assured, he knows he is the real deal and doesn't need to hoot and holla or boast.. while Bobby is all Bobby.
Bang on
and thats y we love bobby
@abdulmomin4491 you love the bobby
Yeh I agree. Good post. Paul Ferris reminds me of Jimmy Nash. Such a quiet unassuming geezer but lethal - didn’t give a shit how powerful anyone was meant to be.
Ferris is a plum .
Bobby’s constant “mm” and “yeah” feedback is so funny to me I don’t know why
He's a fool can't keep his mouth shut ye
Oh dont, theres another episode where its literally unwatchable, i cant remember who he was talking to but it is so constant it becomes stupid lol It is so annoying in that episode, this was a calm mmm yea mm yeaa one for him lol
@@Pobsta-de7hbthe one with Michael Franseze (or however it’s spelt) I cannot! I think someone did a ‘mmm’ count 😂😂😂
@@jodielouise3209 Thats the one!!! looooooooool Jesus that was a crazy one for the mm´s loooooool I couldnt watch it sadly because it was way to much lol
Watching as an onlooker, I find this fascinating. If I was a relative of someone they’d killed, I’d hate the pedestal they’re being put on.
Shut up 🤣
Dig um up
I don't think this is being put on a pedestal. Its not like they are bragging about it all, more telling their life stories. Any normal person would find these stories amazingly fascinating and interesting to hear because it appals the same people who find it fascinating.
@@minisam1988the same peoppe who find it fascinating find it interesting?
@@shootergang9930 oooo sorry “Shooter gang” 😂
Beautiful. Calm chatter among men that's experience the worst truly give us some lessons to learn for
Exactly
wouldn't call it beautiful calm chatter, Bobby keeps interupting Paul & you can clearly tell he's just waiting on paul to stop speaking rather than actually listening to him whenever he manages to stay quiet
@@curlytoes9319 well. Everyone have their opinion. That's your pov. It maybe be seems a bit disrespectful. But if both of them stay calm and tolerate with each other that's good enough. Have a nice buddy
Do you dream of being in jail or something?
Mr Ferris, the epitome of old skool villain.. classy, doesn’t brag, and apologises for bad language. Never to be underestimated by any means at all. I’d like to meet him, and shake his hand. 1 of your own.
Would've liked if he'd spoken about the crimes he actually committed
Why would you want to shake his hand? Lol you wouldn't if it was your loved ones he'd done in
@@Jzaday my loved ones follow the code of conduct… and if you’re In “that life” you know what goes with the territory I’m afraid. Paul Ferris doesn’t harm innocent people believe me.
@@michaelmccann3331 and you know this because?
@@21m455 and you know otherwise because?
I like when they do these conversations. Bobby takes it upon himself to lead the conversation like an interviewer.
Always enjoy seeing bobby back
Paul Ferris representing his people well,Bobby Cummins is an experienced man,both worth listening too 🏴✊
I could listen to their experiences all night, great conversation from two 'businessmen' as Bobby would say, and I bet there is so much more
I really enjoyed watching and listening to this. Absolutely fascinating and we can learn a lot from those who have lived the life and turned their lives around and are now helping others. I wish them both continued success. 😊 Is there a longer video of them talking? 😊 I could listen to them for hours.
Best 1 yet love this
Ferris is the real deal. Such a clever eloquent guy who oozes class.
Class? AHAHAHAHA! You need to re-evaluate your life mate.
@@WetLettuce-kc2qm Stick to the wet veg 🤣
@WetLettuce-kc2qm you stop abusing those wet lettuce fs ya weirdo
Sorry mate but the Blackhill/Bearsden accent doesn't consitute class, he is just a gangster who, like them all has done things in his chosen line of work and now for quite some time,been on the very lucrative path of semi-celeb criminal/author/public redemption.
Enjoyed that!
bobby cummings never lets paul speak always inturpts him but paul humble and class just lets it's be
Mr ferris is very cool calm and confident and a prime example of never judge a book by its cover an absolute gentleman as is mr Cummings.A great watch
Mr ferris is a true gentleman done what he’s done but honest about it all👏👏👏
Ive met paul twice in my life,i could listen to him all day every day,his intelligence is unbelievable,very very smart individual,very respectful,we all know what hes done but that was part of growing up in Glasgow at that time,he hated people getting bullied,i asked him a certain question about a certain crime he was supposed to have committed,he explained what happened,the police corruption against him was fuckin unbelievable in the case,whatever happened in Glasgow no matter where it was his name was mentioned,so between the bent coppers and fuckin snitches they still couldn't break him,if you ever read this comment paul you know what i am talking about😂
Respect to things getting spoken about big up 🤜
Met Ferris when i used to work at Glasgow Airport.. Genuine nice guy stood and chatted away for a bit
Have a drink every time the guy on the left says, "yea." You'll need your stomach pumping.
Hull city fan class fellow tiger 👍👍
Who Bobby you mean ? ...guy on the left lol
Yea, will do, yea.
Yea yea
@@jshaw4757 [Bobby] Yeah.
These are the best period!!!
Pair of lads being honest . I could listen and learn . Bless them . 👍🇬🇧
Never put a butchers apron near Paul's name that man of proud of his Irish roots
Sorry to hear about your daughters, Bobby Cummings. That would kill me! My child is my rock and likely the main reason I have been on the straight and narrow. Also, I did an OU degree in prison (I got a BSc in Criminology and psychology, funnily enough) and published in peer reviewed journals AND also with the OU on the subject of prison rehabilitation and desistance from crime. You're a good man from what I can see. I've watched you on some documentaries as well. We've all done bad shit but it's turning our lives around that counts. Great video.
Phil Collins has gone rogue
😂😂😂
I Rrmeber approx 20 year ago. When I was home on leave. I used to help out my mum and the charity she worked for.. There was a van driver there at the time he was a retired Sargent police officer Mitch Buchannan from kirkintilloch.. (passed now RIP died cutting his grass) I mind being out in the van and I mentioned I had read Paul's first book... the ferris conspiracy! And he said when that book came out more police officers bought that than anyone else because they were scared there name was mentioned in it.. Huge respect and all the very best Paul
I read The last godfather in the polis station as i knew i was doing a long weekend so brought a book i hadnt read. That put me right in the mood to hear more from Paul.
2 legends right there !!!
Another epicccccc stories
I've never beennnnnnnmnm to Beamish
Big up Bobbie and Paul 👊🏻💯
Bobby has done so much to help and Paul is I think a quiet and both have now moved on.
We all who have served learn, okay some don't but most do
Pauls being such a nice chap
Bobby loves the sound of his voice.
He's a little bell Sniff no good fool
Love Bobby such a legend xx
Ferris would be a fine interviewer by the way. Really natural there. Cracking piece
I love this
Seen Bobby on a few things , he’s just what you imagine as an old fashioned east end gangster . The type who are hard men but never hurt women , kids
, or ‘civilians’
I think Paul has a code that he has stayed loyal to and that's something to say you have stayed true to something all your life, not many men have. I think he's a good lad with that moral code but years ago if you turned him over then that's your own fault and Lord knows what would happen. He's a thinker, probably why his face ain't fucked up with holes and scars like mine.
@@gaberaddo7664 Well hurting men DOES hurt the women and children connected to them. So kind of a BS "Code".
@@JimD77 That can't be put on Paul as I know he has more about him than most the head cases and back stabbers out there! What you are talking about is called the 'Domino effect' or the knock on', or 'Ripples' etc etc, one mans decision can't be blamed for something 8 times down the line if ya get me? Who knows who's been involved since?
@@gaberaddo7664 I mean I can understand wanting to survive or thrive etc, but I would never hurt others for my own selfish reasons. I have already decided that if society collapses, there is zero chance I will steal food from neighbors. I would rather just die of starvation. That is why we ALL should be Prepping to the max of our financial ability and have a min of 3 months of food at all times. Not hard to do this if buying a few extra canned goods each time you shop.
@@JimD77its all relative,you could steal from their abundance if they had it for your want,that'd be different than stealing food that would lead to them starving isn't it?
great stuff!
I am from Scotland and I have have huge respect for Paul Ferris and I love listening to him talking love U Mr Ferris xx
Hes back, love these blokes
They're back, I love this fella
@@purebaldness 🤣 thought nobody would notice that !
@@ziepex7009 lol s'all good chief
I’ve noticed that the older you get, the more you regret youthful mistakes.
Both talking nonsense
@@Tbo1235 This sounds like ‘jail talk’; having spoken to people who have been in prison, apparently this is all they talk about while inside. They just go on about successes they have had, ignoring the fact that they got caught eventually and are Inside, and are probably imagining the next crimes they can commit when they get out!. It all seems like a game to them, as opposed to real life.
Respect to Paul Ferris, a very intelligent man, he never had it easy as a child 🏴 I could listen to him all day
May God bless everyone. Have a good day.
It’s hilarious that two villains are talking about miscarriages of justice.
Love Bobbys stories.... Such an honest guy. U know what u get with him. Would love to sit down and have a few drinks with you Bobby
So honest his deep fried cat stories been said by numerous other people claiming it was them
I don’t think you’ll get to say too much.
Paul ferris is the man.. anywhere you go and mention Glasgow it’s Celtic rangers.. then Paul ferris 😀❤️
Much respect to these two gentlemen. Many blessings.
Basically Bobby Cummins loving the sound of his own voice name dropping thinking he’s impressive.. while real deal ferris is quiete and humble and would’ve shot or stabbed Cummins without making a fuss back in the day
Bang on the money with that comment. Ferris is sitting there like “Hmmmm”
I'm glad that I am not the only one who thinks that about Bobby.
I think they are just different characters/personalities and how Bobby comes across in this short conversation. If you watch some longer interviews, a couple of hours (true geordie for e.g.), you'll get a different feel for him.
I agree
They are just different people. Bobby is just a lot more outgoing. Doesnt mean anything.
I’d say their victims are haunted more by it all.
M8 these people weren't victimising innocent people they were imprisoned for harming other criminals that knew what the consequences of that lifestyle were: live by the sword!!!
Exaclry Simon… don’t no about the London guy but Paul ferris was fighting against police and other criminals
What did they do to deserve it?
@@simonsteven1427 Bobby killed an innocent person during a robbery. The victim suffocated on the gag. He got charged with manslaughter.
@@The_welder_ b b b b butt they only harmed other criminals
tanks for the subtitles
Brilliant
Little bobby cumins was dangerous only because he is very small and had to use a gun , never understood why people look up to these lads , the real men to look up to are the men who do an honest days work and look after the wife and kids
Nobody looks up to Bobby cummings mate it’s just educational and interesting to hear these 70s gangster stories
@@1T0MMYwell said
It would be interesting to hear what they said off camera
Never assume the loud is strong and the quiet is weak 🙏
Bobby is a fool
The old geezer chats about himself for ten minutes then goes “tell me you’re story paul”
And paul get’s out two or three sentences and old geezers cut him off and is talking about himself again. 😂
They love to talk about the good old days these old criminals. They love to reminisce about their glory days.
That cockneys for you. Here them before you see them
Two great men with great story 😅
The price of peace are priceless
True gentlemen. Gangsters these days are too many and diluted
True gentlemen? They're thugs, bullies and parasites ffs.
These days the vast majority cross the line between fair game and innocents. I wouldnt dare lay a finger on innocents. Not an innocent? Well. Bad things will happen.
Paul when we were in belmarsh together in 97 with dessie you gave me a little picture frame to put the picture of my kids in after the screws turned everyone over and threw our bits and pieces on the floor like trash. Well I still got it , it’s in my bedroom till this day. You were a nice fellow, after I went to long lartin then eventually back to Sardinia on release. Those kids of mine in those pictures are both doctors now. One my son a physiotherapist the other my daughter a psychologist. Nice to see your doing ok. Ohhh. I’m Luca
We'll done folks hope you all stay safe and blessed ❤we all do things to survive 🙏 its they we have been brought up but can only try and help the next generation of people to change ❤
9 days clean after a heartbreaking intervention with my mum and old mother. Ill end up dead i know, no more chances. Wish you were in Scotland.
@@hendriekevin4171 @CarsonTVglovesupDrugsdown is in Scotland 🏴 Bruv 👍👍👍👍
We all left school around 15 back then
Mr Ferris is just so down to earth
Is that Phil Collins on the left? LMAO
About as Dangerous as Phil Collins
Wise guys "the price of peace, priceless ".
Paul Ferris talks a lot of sense
Deep fried the cat 😂😂
Could liaten to them both for hours get a part 2 done but for longer
His Anything goes 2hour 20min podcast with James English is excellent mate
Wish it was like the old days as someone who is active in criminal activity it’s changed there’s no respect or morales at all I’m 34 now 35 this year but it’s changed drastically in the last 15 years it’s mental I feel sorry for the children these days
Very interwoven watch. Mr Ferris is a very calm, calculating individual and you can see the intelligence of this man oozing out of every poor. With Bobby, it's all experience and I'm so glad he appears to be passing this onto people to need to listen to it.
@Stanly Stud I mean, I get what you're saying. It's not about looking up to them, just interesting to observe and listen.
@Stanly Stud explain why he's a creepy little man 😂
BOBBY & PAUL 👌👌
Bobby looks so good for his age
Hello Paul this is luca from sardinia, you were alright, I remember.
I was born in 69. The opening lines for the first minute of this are true, we did all treat each others houses as our own most of the time. Indian families, Irish, Jamaican, etc etc and there was no theft of vehicles or property. You didn't do that on your own estate. I witnessed a few punch ups between Dads if there was bullying from their kids. EVERY kid had a mum and a dad because we lived together, as a community, to a degree.
I left the UK in 2005. England ceased being England the second Tony Blair became PM
Paul don’t seem too impressed listening to the other fella.!!!!!
Bobby was a rent boy in the prison
When i heard Pauls podcast with James English i was bit more enlightened to Paul, as all i heard was gangster this,machine guns,jail etc.. Very clever man, can tell the polis wouldnt like someone as clever and fly as him. They basically wanted to shoot him dead, hoping, just hoping Paul would have a weapon in his hand when they tried to set him up in Rothsea.
Also for him to sayThe first millionaire pharmacy was Hoolihans in Possil because of the amount of methadone it sells, prescribes i should say. And Barlinnie prison is the biggest dispenser of methadone in the UK, that surprised me,but it took a long fucking time to happen. Even in the 2000 you were still shitting in a bucket, cons walking around like zombies,in full withdrawal because they gave you nothing, i mean nothing in a way of medication, even if you had a doctors prescripton every month, it meant nothing in Bar-L..Surprised no one had a fit and died coming of diazepam, maybe they did bbut the place was a disgrace until 1 good guy decided to sue the fucking place for breach of human rights, having no toilet in a cell of 2 people in the year 2000 was a disgrace..Anyway it took many many years before proper medication was given to cons, now the place is a bit more chilled, a lot less drugs in the place too.
The guy on the left is like a cross between Jim Bowen and Stanley Unwin.
The message is clear, be wary of old blokes in bespoke tailored suits
Paul Ferris is in a different league to Cummins.
Calm and assured as been there and done it while Cummins just loves the sound of his own voice as a tool merchant wannabe.
Cummins is a no good fool
Paul Ferris is way beyond his level
In what context.
@@starofdavid9919 Paul was much much more dangerous
@@starofdavid9919bobby made up all these tales
Bobby can’t stop talking, back in the good ol days.
When the intimidator fails to intimidate, they become the indimidated.
I learned about Bobby from his interview with ex-mobster Michael Franzese. I'm glad these fellas repented of their criminal lifestyles. God bless y'all.
Old times had more class and held each other to certain morals. Now it's just every man for himself absolutely brutal. I'm mostly talking about how things were in America with the Irish, Italian Mafia or the yacks of even the Asians gangs.
A murderer is a murderer, what are you chatting about "held each other to certain moral" ???? Both these people killed plenty of innocent people. Yes they've grown and know it's wrong now, but so will the current generation when they grow up.
@@keval21 They had rules like no killing civilians, children or women. Now they'll kill your whole family and rape your mom. Things are more brutal by far especially in America. You can't go to kindergarten without getting shot at in my country.
they just talked about being shot in the back of the head in the middle of the day, real classy
Not really no. The dress style was different is all. All you need to do is look at the Krays and the Richardsons. The Krays were running around bullying people and noncing kids and the Richardsons were torturing people and pulling their teeth out and drowning them and stuff. m
Romanticising the past = the truth
Yess
Poor Paul
Find it strange why Ferris never mentions his brother Billy who is currently serving life for murdering a 15 year old boy over a minor drug debt. He set fire to him to try conceal the murder. Ferris does not mention his heroin dealing days or when he conspired to supply a shotgun to police in Glasgow and was jailed for it. Find it hard to
He mentioned the shotgun in the James English podcast .
Don't worry about it
Love these videos but god the verbal listening is hell I could in no way have a conversation with him.
I know a little how Bobby feels... I was just making my turn-around in life as my mother died. Just had my first kid a couple of years prior... marriage still going great... now I have career, we have our own home, two great kids. I'd give anything to have Mom see me now.
Got a lot of respect for Bobby. I know he’s done what he’s done but still a gentleman. Fuk drugs
Jail is verty different now
Everybody was like that in the 60s but what happened , if you had any trouble you sorted it out bare Knuckle ✌️
Would have been better to let ferris speak a bit more. We have heard the Englishman story on the LAdBible before but yeah good video none the less.
💯💯💯
2 big hitters there kidda
P Ferris is obviously a very intelligent man , Bobby Cummins got an MBE. for services to the community getting his story out to young people in order to influence them into not making the mistakes and lifestyle choices he made respect to them both
Anyone interested, watch a film called 'The Wee Man' Its about Paul Ferris and his life, introduction into it. Its really quite fascinating.British/Gritty movie.
Nice one the films only about 10 years old
Find paul way more intimidating the mono tone the calm secure way he sits
Guess that’s why he got the nickname the robot
Dad had his own business, affluent but skint? Wtf?
Thought that too. He's full of shit lol. Ferris is a known liar too - all these kinds of people are.
One thing about us english. It's never the ones that look like gangsters you wanna worry about. It's the quiet older guy who looks like a librarian observing everything. He's the boss.
Bobby is full of 🐂 💩
Paul Ferris the real deal
Most certainly! Involved in violence from when he was a kid, including getting his own back on his school bullies. Then into working with Glasgow heavy gangster Arthur Thompson and then onwards and upwards from there. Paul Ferris has the respect of all the top draw gangsters from all over the UK. Plus, like Bobby he eventually turned his back on it all and today lives a law abiding life.
he shits on cummins
