A British Tony Soprano

In Britain, there is a Firm, which is controlled by Paul Bennett,26. This Firm in recent years has gone increasingly dysfunctional, as opportunities within their grasp get swept away, and the global Credit Crunch has stopped it from making any investments.

Now, in 2008, they are desperately trying to get back to how they were, by getting more money, as well as new associates.

Bennett is a Tony Soprano like character, due to several reasons:

He saw a Psychiatrist.
He wears his dressing gown, like Tony does, open.
He has a driver, which is his Street Boss.
Constantly gorges on food.
Has a violent temper when pushed.
Likes the History Channel.
Dresses like Tony, in T shirt and trousers.

They have also gone dysfunctional because of an internecine conflict, where the Street Boss,33, and now gone(due to a stroke, but lives), ex advisor,48, both declared themselves unofficial leaders, when they should'nt have.

Right this moment in time they are almost extinct, even Bennett wants to retire.

I'll keep posted on updates!

I have never heard this

where is he from?

what is his crew called?

Sounds like heaps of people!!

Nottingham uk.

The Bennetts - style themselves on mafia structure, etc, but no ritual initiation because of dysfunctionality.

HOLY CRAP I'M TONY SOPRANO

Paul Bennett came out of the shadows because of the dysfunctionality. He is shadowed because he is above suspicion, as he does'nt look the the part, and also has a mild disability.

The people that are with him are mostly legitimate.
He thought above retirement at 26, because he has violent outbursts at the dysfunctional way things are handled, and because things are drying up in the money department.

The number of people he has now is 5. Life has made people more absent, credit crunch, personal issues, etc.

His 48 year old ex advisor, who had a stroke due to his life and work has been greenlighted for a hit due to his inability to grasp the importantness of a job that was to get Bennett £21,000. He is an ex advisor because Bennett did most of his own thinking.

Bennetts street boss is also due for a hit because he failed to carry out an order that inadvertedly led to the loss of the £21,000.
This £21,000 was to be a retirement thing for Bennett, and also an investment for more gain.
He would have got all the money as the other 2 are legitimate, and have caused problems, so are not worthy of the money.

Personal issues have also made Bennett think about retirement at age 26.
These being a lack of education, no wife or girlfriend, and no sex. Mobsters, gangsters, racketeeers need sex, just like any other person. Being disabled does'nt help matters. He is now basically homosexual now anyway.

How could you possibly relate this guy to Tony Soprano? Tony wasnt disabled, will always have Carmella (she is too attracted to her lifestyle to leave), can always find a girlfriend on the side or bang a stripper from the Bing, and most certainly wasnt "basically homosexual."

can you please tell us were your getting this info from?

I've been out with Bennett a few times, and he has said that now is the time for this information to be posted.
He has been in leadership since he was 17 years old. You see having no friends while he was at school, due to bullying, made him do his own thing, and now those people are either dead, in prison or on their way to prison.
He's kinda like the Bonanno Family after the Comission kicked them out over the Donnie Brasco affair, no links, which made him more powerful then the bullies at his school. They make their money and spend it on drugs and parties, while Bennett does a lot of investing.

DeNiro, what part of Nottingham do you live in?

Yeah right..

seriously.

You could'nt even tell me where in Nottingham you come from.

It doesn't matter where in Nottm im from, i would have heard of him, its not a big place..

How do you expect people to believe you when you havn't backed your info with sources.

How can I back it up when most of the people are legitimate.
Tarnish their respectibility?

How can you hear of someone who does'nt want to be seen or heard of. Bennett ain't no Colin Gunn character, that takes his own drugs and issues edicts in full view of the trembling public.

Like I said before, Bennett is Mafia-like, he does'nt want to draw attention to himself, what he is doing is very rare in todays Britain.
He has never been caught, questioned or imprisoned, and in result he has prospered and has got more then those who bullied him at school.
He only does business with those that he can truly trust - legimate people.

Moving this to "The General Discussion" forum. (its not about "The Sopranos").

Well i havn't heard of him.

Are you from Nottingham?

I am from Nottingham.

How much do you think Bennett made?

Where bouts?

One of the reasons why he has'nt a woman is because nowadays their is no decent ones.

He likes the old movies, and sees the "ladies", like Greta Garbo, he loves Garbo a lot. If he had a chance to get Garbo, he would jump at the chance.

The Mapperly area.

So how come you know so much about him, if he doesn't want to be "seen or heard"

I starting to smell bullshit now

Legitimate person. Truly trusted.

You want proof of Bennett?

You have to see him.

Your face is Tony Soprano.

Last time I looked Newcastle only had kid gangs and brawlers.

To be honest, your writing alone suggests some sort of disability.

(Are you Paul Bennett?

And are you disabled?)

As opposed to what, a homosexual who was bullied in school?

How often do you look? And where; at what?

To the Mods: Ban him. Thnxbye.

Welcome back Capo!

Bennett has the mild disability.

In school he was'nt homosexual, he feels he wants to be now, that women don't look or come his way.

I am not Paul Bennett

I am not disabled.

This is all true.

The Newcastle thing was a response to Yogi.

Why is it that almost all of our English members are absolutely atrocious at the English language, and even worse at reading people? Do the British all have Asperger's? Or is it just that every inch of the continent outside of Gateshead is highly radioactive?

Ugh.

Bennett has Aspergers.

He does'nt like your response long_lost_corleone.

Exactly how I spelt it. Whats the problem?

Its gone from stating facts about a Firm, to accusations of lies to now, someones spelling.

Whats the matter with you??

It doesn't really matter what's wrong with him.

Being Aspergers has got him no girlfriend.

Thats' v'ery bad"

Being Aspergers? I'm terribly confused.

Hasn't your tendency for boys and little children got something to do with the fact you have no girlfriend?

Are you Christian, by any chance?

Best Yoda impression ever.

I don't understand what is happening.

Aspergers is a mild disability where some things are missing.

Bennett bullied at school because he was "different", later on set himself up and made a fortune while they were mostly in trouble.

May have a low ability to grasp school subjects but can excel in other things that are above a normal persons reach.

Bullied at school made him distrustful of females.

Bennett knows not to go near any under 18s, his fortune would collapse for one, and his legitimate people will be discovered. theres too much too loose. And its against the law.

Are you related to Tony Bennett?

Or my old science teacher, Mr. Bennett?

Do you want a fight?

Mr Bennett! Arnold Hill School?

UPDATE: Bennett has retired at age 26.

He has had enough of the s**t he has had to deal with.
26, and has mild breathing problems - anxiety that the next problem is just around the corner.

He has had no less then 75 people and they have made him no less £750,000 since 1999, when he was 17.

DeNiro wanted proof of Bennetts existance. I said you have to see Bennett.
DeNiro why so quiet now that you can have proof?
You thought you could call me a liar and that was that?
But I gave you access to proof, and now your silent. Says it all really.

right-o

Update: Paul Bennett has met with Police and is beginning his run as an informer.

DeNiro are you really from Nottingham?

You seem to have that supporting style towards Manchester United, like the symbols on your posts. This signifies that you are a strong fan of them, and so come from Manchester.

You said it did'nt matter where in Notts you were from. This means you can't tell me an area, which tells all that you don't really come from Notts. If you really came from Notts you would "perk up" when i mentioned the name Colin Gunn. This b*****d is the thing here - a least he was til he got a 30 stretch for 3 murders.

Its a message board not a chat room, i wasn't silent, ive just logged on..

This thread is a joke and you have no clue on what you are talking about..

You say you gave me proof, where?

im from Bulwell,

DE NIRO - Every once in a while you come up with a winner!! This one (below) rates right up there

Thank You..

The proof is you seeing Paul Bennett.

You don't want to see him, thats your choice, but you have been given what you asked for.

ok whatever, this is getting boring now, go join some other board and tell them..

what is the proof that you want?

please mods, please close this, nonsense

Ignore it. Personally, I'm surprised it went this far.

I'm all for closing it, its the the other party who has a problem with me giving them the proof they want. It seems he can't handle meeting Bennett -a gay, aspergers, poilce informer.

Alright, I became curious and did a google. Here's a link to an article about the gangster Paul Bennett, but with one major point....he was arrested in 1993 and became an informant in January 1994. He is in his forties now, not 26.

So let's stop all this bickering.
