Desmond Moran had most power of all Morans - Chopper Read

WELL, "two-bob" Tuppence Moran is dead. I told friends he'd be dead within the year - and I was right, as I generally am on these matters.

I reckon Tuppence got whacked as general underworld housekeeping.

He was the last one of the Moran crew left and someone's decided to finish them off.

My oath he would have made a few enemies during his life, but this isn't going to re-ignite an underworld war.

Why? Because there's just not enough people to kill. There's only two or three people out there.

The first attempt on his life a few months back was, in my opinion, a put-up job.

He had that done himself and maybe he just wanted the attention.

Tuppence was the dark horse of the Moran clan. He was the only one with the real criminal power and ability to get things done.

Lewis was a fetch-and-carry boy compared with Tuppence.

Tuppence was the one with the money and the underworld power and authority.

He was the one who could have you shot with a phone call or have you bashed with a nod of his head.

Lewis was just a silly old drunk and a two-bob sneak thief all his life.

He never had any power, any real money, or any authority or any reputation within the criminal world.

Tuppence was regarded as the biggest SP bookmaker in Melbourne, taking bets over the phone from a prominent politician and business tycoon who will remain nameless.

It was rumoured the late Kane brothers used to work for Tuppence as collectors -- working on a 50-50 cut for large outstanding debts.

A $10,000 debt would be split 50-50 - half for Tuppence and half for the Kanes.

But thrifty Tuppence wasn't as generous with his own clan.

Nephew Jason worked for Tuppence as a collector for a 25 per cent cut.

It is said no one ever got a 50-50 deal out of Tuppence after the Kanes died.

I don't mourn his passing.

He didn't like me, and I didn't like him - end of story.

The Ascot Vale Deli in Melbourne now has a new coffee on its menu-

The Des Moran Espresso. It has 6 shots, only costs tuppence and can blow your head off!!

Please God, can you make sure Nat has some scenes where she is required to be completely nude and doing a little dance just like that special dream I told you about

[A Mum]

Whaaattttt !!!!!

Nobody told me this started again tonight

Thank goodness I stumbled across it

[Wedgie]

I'll do what I normally do, wait a few weeks and watch a heap of them with no ads, so no spoilers!

V put back by 2 hours for this bloody series... and the V episode turned out to be a repeat

[Magpiespower]

Embarrassing.

Stinks up the joint worse than the first two pieces of kaka.

[Turbo]

Thought it was ok, ads were coming far to often

[Bum Crack]

I thought it was absolute puss. It doesn't get within a bulls roar of the first two. I rate it right up there with "The Bounce"

[JK]

Haven't caught up with much advance stuff of the show (or events of the era), what year was it supposed to be set in?

Im guessing mid-80's and I was shocked to discover how long it took for wheely bins to reach Adelaide

[Magpiespower]

If Ed Wood made Goodfellas...

[A Mum]

I liked it - will continue to watch as I did with the other two

Why is it that good girls always turn bad?

Don't like Marc Furs as a bad guy though...lol
