I recognise the second one there in from Jacob's Ladder.
The third one in is clearly Tom Waits.

Is the last one Pablo Escobar?

I still love this:

'oh, f*** it, what's the point? I've trotted out this line a million times and nobody takes a blind bit of notice. Xiang-Ho was handed the award by spindly-legged, OAP-baiting, sex addicted furball at his school"

funny bit in a 50 pence interview:

I make up different terminology all the time. I made an effort to make a reference to a male organ without being disrespectful in a woman's presence on "Candy Shop." If you say "penis, cock, dick," whatever way you want to say it, that's going to be disrespectful in the presence of some women, so I said, "the magic stick" and "the candy shop" is the bedroom and the "amusement park" is the bedroom, trying to come up with a way to do it where you're not being disrespectful. But those efforts apparently don't mean very much.

Fucking MONGOTOWN.Holy fuck.

This ones my fave....

And this....

Good times?

The amount of puke and piss stains on the paths of Cardiff is mad.

 

[flashback]

I'd find a favourite, and then I'd notice something amazing in another shot, and another.

There's one where two lads are battering seven shades of scuttery shite out of each other in the middle of the road, and in the background you can just see the plod sauntering up.

Great photographer.

Jesus, Cardiff looks scarier than Glasgow.

Ah, the smell of Cardiff... it persists all week around.

The pics don't even look like a match night in the Millenium stadium. The rubbish tends to get swept up somewhat by the lines of riot police on those nights

 

[David Kronenbourg]

fucking hell. cardiff looks like a shithole

Jesus, Cardiff looks scarier than Glasgow.

I'd just like to clarify - I've been living in Cardiff for 4 years while I complete a PhD. I've know the photographers work for a while and it's amazing stuff.

all those cardiff shots are taken from the same spot which is around a lane known locally as "chip alley". that area consists of 5 or 6 big super pubs that pack people in with cheap booze and shit music.

the police have developed a strategy where by they close the street off to traffic and place barriers up to bassically pen people in so when the clubs close they feel they can control everyone. It's a shit strategy because there are no seats, insufficient bins and too many chippers.

Basically think of an area not much bigger that meeting house square in temple bar with many hundreds of people coming from the pubs at 3 or 4 in the morning...

The place is infamous and I would never really be down that way on weekend nights but in 4 years I have never seen it as bad as in the photos. I have had to walk through the place to get home some nights and have never had any grief other than pissed saps trying to get you to join in whatever buzz they are having.

I have looked at these photos about 10 time over the last 6 months and keep thinking different things each time - is it the fact that Wales is the poorest part of the UK, is it the police strategy, is it the concentration on chain pubs?? i don't know.
