I had a cousin named Buddy. His real name was Darnell, but people in his neighborhood started calling him Buddy after this ugly, flea-infested dog he had. I swear to god that dog had more sores than hair, more fleas than follicles. People started busting on him about that dog, naming him after it. The first few loads were all right. Then on the third load I broke one my rules. Hell, even Biggie said it: Buddy didn’t have a clue what he was doing. He didn’t know how many grams there were in an ounce, how many ounces in a pound. He didn’t know the difference between profit and loss.Liverpool's courts are some of the busiest in the UK, with a huge variety of cases being heard each week. Mr Nutter said Hughes became a dad in March 2018 and was also remorseful and ashamed for "what he's brought to the door of his child and his partner". You don’t really need that second car. It costs more and doesn’t do anything specific other than add a set of eyes. But it’s an extra buffer, one more layer of confusion for authorities. Three cars is too few, five cars is too expensive.

The first third was a little slow as we got more information about his childhood, with lots of history on the area and civil wars which his mother was involved with. Whilst it was fairly interesting, it did drag on and I wanted to hear more about the actual murky world of being a drug dealer. In the movies, you often see mobsters working together in family businesses. But family members in real life are liabilities. You can’t walk away from a family member. Not easy to have one’s legs broken, either. Once family members get inside the tent, they’re hard to remove. That’s a rule: Dress like an off-duty Applebee’s waiter. I know what that looks like, because, after all, I’ve worked at Applebee’s. I make even shitty jobs like that work for me. Experience is my education and education is my advantage.
