It needs to be short and sweet, giving the impression that being in the company of hard men is something that is run of the mill to me, whilst at the same time conveying that I am fully aware, and slighlty in awe, of these fucking solid hoolies. Something that suggests that I am 'old school' and saw a load of shit 'back in the day' without actuallt explicitely saying that would also be good.
I'm thinking of something along the lines of "I've been told by people who know that their proper top boys are coming out of retirement tonight and any little boys who think that they are not tasty would be in for a nasty surprise."
Or something along those lines. Short and sweet, but suggesting that I most definitely 'know the score'. Give me five minutes to finalise it. People will think I am the fucking man.
I think I can assist you here, Mr Axe. (See, I've already exerted my authority by directly approaching you, "The Axe Man").
Try something like, "All I'll say is, you'll be ok in Harvey Nicholls cos we'll have numbers but keep your wits about you if you're in Selfridges." That ought to send out the right message.
What's the word on the street regarding Waitrose? Only I was thinking of bobbing in for a bag of aniseed balls on my way to the match.
