Interesting. And this is from personal experience I take. For starters Ireland doesn't have real gangsters. They have the travellers and a few knock around "lads"."real" gangsters wouldn't look for validation from some old barfly, and would laugh it off, if such shit ever if did happen. Ever the bickies aren't usually such sad bitches, and they can be a pretty pathetic bunch at times. I can Guarantee that you don't get much street "cred" punching some old dude, especially when he doesn't even fall off his barstool. That shit is just sad and would get you laughed out of the place by real criminals. I suggest you watch footage of Roy shaw if you want to see what a real English "gangster" looks like.
