Professional Cockney Ray Winstone is a working class boy done good but this gravelly voiced ballbag has always got on me Bristols.
I think its that he plays Ray Winstone in every role from Sweeny Todd to Beowulf. Even in that pile of shit Cats, he was still Ray fucking Winstone. Always with that underlying menace that you will end up in the foundations of a flyover on the North Circular.
The fact that he sounds like a Mitchell brother in every role doesn’t help matters either. His attempts at a Boston accent in Scorsese’s The Departed and the Point Break remake were hilarious and recast King Henry VIII as a part-time South London debt collector. Not content with butchering the English language he’s also had a go at Russian while playing a mob boss in Black Widow.
Would you Adam and Eveski it?
And don’t even mention his Bet365 gambling ads.

Waiter, I asked for my steak medium rare, this one is overdone.
Mind he’s not the only one-part actor. Ever seen Hugh Grant play anyone other than bourgeois, plum-in-the-mouth, metrosexual tosspot Hugh Grant? No, me neither.
17
I don’t like High Grant, a sanctimonious, left-wing, prick who went after the News of The World, for revealing he had a penchant for getting blowjobs from crack addled whores. However, he was brilliant in A Very British Scandal a film about Jeremy Thorpe, playing very much against character and he has done some other things recently which have been pretty good.

Sorry. Good Morning Geordie and everyone else.

I thought Hugh’s fly on the wall documentary was simply awe-inspiring. A cutting edge portrayal of a man who is dating one of the world’s most beautiful women, who has fame, fortune and all that goes with it, tormented by his darker side, s penchant for black tranny hookers.
The scene where he is led away from baying crowds, in handcuffs, had me in tears, such was the utterly convincing portrayal of a man broken by perverted, carnal desire.
Oh, wait, no, that was Sky News.

He doesnt play that in The Gentlemen.
Is his character in Bridget Jones a metrosexual?
I quite like his performance in About a Boy.

I’m the facking daddy now, get it?

Raymond attended the late great John Wayne academy of performing arts,
Pick a character -stick to it.
His Rhett Butler in the Bethnal green adaption of Gone with the wind is still quoted
“Frankly treacle I don’t give a damn”
As is his 1983 portrayal of Mark Anthony
” Friends,Romans, countrymen, lend me yer shell likes..”
Opposite Leading thespian Arfur Mullard.
Sadly Ray has yet to win a Oscar,
But if he does he’s going to use it as a ornament on the front of his motor.
Oi oi !! Laaarvely jubberly👍

It certainly is in the beer world.

His Henry VIII should have been in a Carry On film with Babs Windsor playing Anne Boleyn ( before she turned black).
“Oi ! Get me my bleedin’ dinner or I’ll cut yer faakin ed orff. Saucy caaaw.”
12
Thinking of Ray Winstone reminds me of that scene in ‘Scum’…you know the one, the tender, romantic greenhouse scene…
13
Was that Philip Schofield’s acting debut?
Very convincing……..and the rest is history.
14
“I’m not a puff.”
Hmm. I think sticking your nob up another bloke’s arse makes you a definite puff, you big, massive puff.
Coooo-eeee Carling!
13
Brilliant in Scum but has always played the same role.
Nice guy though, causing millions of families absolute misery by promoting gambling.
Gamble responsibly?
If ever two words were said through grated teeth then it’s those.
They’d love nothing more than every fucking penny you have and everything you own or could borrow.
And in many cases, they get it.
Not saying gambling should be banned btw, I can handle my two or three tiny bets a year, but I’m not sure it’s something that should be promoted every 5 minutes by cunts like this.
The fact some pissed up twat could gamble away his kids’ inheritance in a moment of madness on his phone makes it different nowadays. It’s too easy.
I’ve seen what a gambling addiction can do to someone close to me. Not much different to having a smack addiction.
They’re not advertising smack on the box though.
Mind you, Ray would, I bet (love a flutter me).
“Smack my kids up. The world’s best online smackhead company.”
13
Totally agree CB. Gamble responsibly? A fucking oxymoron in my world. Our family never suffered from gambling thank god, we were poor enough as it was, but my mother had a visceral hatred of it. When she was first working as a young woman in the 1930s she had seen men pick up their meagre wages on a Friday and gamble it away then go home to the wife and kids penniless. No food banks then and I’ve no doubt plenty of kids starved or to use the old Black Country expression, clammed. Seems to me that organised sport is one of the main areas gambling is promoted. Yet another good reason to avoid it, sport that is.
As for slebs endorsing the various scams they’re a fucking disgrace, down there with MPs, lawyers and Estate Agents in my book. Consolidation and payday loans, insurance, funeral plans etc. All scams but no problem to the lice who endorse them.
Must admit though I am amongst the infinitesimally small number who have profited from gambling. My first employer had a recreation club (gives my age away!) and in the entrance hall they had a one-armed bandit. As I walked by one day in 1968 I felt in my pocket and pulled out a tanner. On an impulse I shoved it in the machine and pulled the handle. It spat out three tanners which I put in my pocket and departed. Only time I’ve ever gambled.
8
I almost never gamble. I don’t see the point in throwing money away on stupid whims or ‘feeling lucky’ which is why i will never set foot in Las Vegas.
The only times ive gambled was on football matches, and a tenner at most, Twice with friends and family and a few times with bookies, but ONLY a maximum of a tenner and only if I was pretty sure the odds were longer than I wouldve given certain teams.
One occassion was France being 7-1 to win the 2018 world cup. Given the quality of the side I thought it could be worth it, but I decided not to.
Of course they won it but I was glad not to have bet against England at the time. Had England beat Croatia, they would’ve faced France in the final.
Nowadays I wouldn’t care; I was effectively neutral watching the Euro final between England and Italy. Italy were superb aĺl tournament, and England were massively overhyped by clueless media (as usuall) and playing weaker sides on home soil.
Not only did the best team win, but also the right team.
Fuck kneebending Inger-land.
II supported France in the 2022 WC quarter final.
England have been overhyped since 2006.
5
I can stop a runaway horse, just by putting money on it.
Winstone? – Cockney wanker. I bet he talks like Lord Mandy in real life.
3
Any Englishman who supports the French doesn’t deserve to call themselves an Englishman. Regardless of the reason.

In your humble opinion.

That is the level of his acting ability, so I can’t knock him for that.
Alot more talentless cunts out there, who are insufferable bores and hypocrites.
Yes I’m looking at you Emma Thompson.

He gets more work now Bob Hoskins has retired.
Who’d you think plays the spoons better?
Ray or Danny Dyer?

Sorry mis, blackface is banned.

Err… Bob Hoskins died a few years ago Mis. Do keep up.
You still enjoying working in this weather mate?
I’ll get my coat.

Hello Arfur 👍
No it’s horrendous.
And the turbo has just gone on my van.
Fuck me.☹️
2
Sorry to hear that Mis. Never a cheap job a turbocharger. Still, look on the bright side, when you are running an electric van you won’t have a turbocharger. Mind you, you won’t be able to do any long distance runs either but still, think of the polar bears.

I always thought his cockney version of Will Scarlett ( Robin of Sherwood) in the 80’s was his best work…!
9
It was CQB 241. That was a good series. Philip Davis great as King John.
0
I’ve got no problem with him being a one trick pony, plenty of them about in the acting world.
I do however, have a massive problem with his incessant betting ads.
And if it’s not him, it’s ‘Arry fucking Redknapp, his backward son or that utter bellend, Micah Richards.
Also, I’ve often wondered if Winstone actually speaks like Brian Blessed in real life.
!
8
Spot on FM.
Betting firms are cunts and advertising for them is a shitty trick indeed.
7
I used to work for Mr Blessed and his wife very nice people and he is as loud in reality as he is on the box, his only downfall was like all actors he would talk all over you . He had a garage full of that non alcoholic beer he once advertised fucking awful stuff cant remember what it was called, but bloody vile.
5
PETROL!WERE RUNNING OUT! Not the nine o clock news when they had him on ,fucking hilarious Brian b
2
Wasnt that Have I got News For You?
The only time that show has been funny was BB and Tom Baker as Guest Hosts.
2
Blessed was great in the first Sweeney episode. Him and Ian Hendry as a pair of right villains.
1
Defo. Peddlers of addiction and creators of unhappy broken families. I’m not into banning stuff but I wouldn’t be sad if all these online betting firm were fucked off out it. 24-7 rinsing operations.
7
The world will be a poorer place when Brian Blessed passes on.
5
He played the retired timid gangster in “Sexy Beast” very well, even though Ben Kingsley stole the show.
9
The difference is that Ben Kingsley (apparently massively up his own arse) can act and Ray’s repertoire is somewhat limited. Nothing wrong with that, if you can spoof a bloody good living out of it over the years then good luck to you.
4
Yes, it’s hard to believe that Kingsley was the same cunt who played Gandhi and Ishtak Stern. That’s real acting. Also Ian McShane was a quietly menacing cunt in that film. Didn’t say much but he came across as a right dangerous cunt.
Another “actor” who can only play himself……Vinny fucking Jones.
8
Another great turn from a shakespearean actor playing a mad cockney is Ralph Fiennes in ‘In Bruges’.
4
Benny K apparently gets very angry if you don’t address him as “SIR” Ben Kingsley – what an arsehole.
6
Sexy Beast is ace. Winstone downplayed the cock-er-nee swagger a bit, but Kingsley was ace.
“Look at your suntan. it’s like fucking leather. We could make a suitcase out of you. You fat, fucking crocodile bastard.”
10
He was ludicrous as Jack Regan in the hopeless 2012 re-hash of ‘The Sweeney’. We were supposed to believe that he was poking Hayley Atwell’s character; what a joke.
Come back John Thaw and Dennis Waterman.
As for his ads promoting gambling…
Morning all.

‘You would have me sleep in here? With these beasts!… You think i’m some sorta faackin’ mung-hee!’

Excellent cunting of fat ray 👍. He is as one dimensional as Hugh Grant. Played a dodgy turncoat in Indiana Jones 4, total shite.
6
“You look like leather, leather man. Like a crocodile, fat cunt. Could make a bag out of you”.
5
Seen him recently on ITV4 re run of Minder.
Amazing how high pitched his voice was.
Something tells me he’s had voice lessons to sound more ‘menacing’ ya cunt. Or is it caaaaant?
Some good news on the horizon though in that Betting Companies aren’t allowed to appear on Prem League shirts from 2026/7.
So when the fun stops, stop.
What a fucking disgusting insult to the families of those affected.
Perhaps Whinstone could get blacked up and start advertising hunting knives.
For a dollar the wooden one trick pony would do just about anything.
5
Seeing as most of the sponsors are on shirts in the championship i’m not sure how different it will be. I know there were a fair few on prem league shirts back in the noughties and 2010s. I don’t notice the sponsors as much these days. Are QVC still sponsoring the Arsenal?

Boggs Cinematic Productions (Taiwan) Ltd have been thinking about going legit, and getting out of the porn market. We are proposing a remake of Brief Encounter, the 1945 classic with Dame Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard. Our production will have Winstone as the good doctor, and we are negotiating with Lorraine Chase to play Laura. Beautiful dialouge: Laura: “Fuck me, I’ve got something in me mince!”
2
All cockerney actors are useless, one trick pony cunts! Ray Winston’s, Barbers Windsor, Bob Hoskins, Mike Read and biggest cunt of all cunts, self proclaimed hard man Danny ‘small penis’ Dyer! Self proclaimed hard man? Fuckoff, you sad little cunt and take your cock sucking, brain dead, cum dump daughter with you! ‘Ave it, you cunt!
8
Danny Dyer makes Winstone look like Olivier.
9
Eh, I haven’t seen anything he’s in (apart from those adverts) but he doesn’t constantly lecture the proles and doesn’t seem to have forgotten his roots. Far bigger cunts about.
6
I think we need a modern day remake of ‘Scum’ set in a prison full of radicalized muslims. In comes Carlin, banged up for shouting racial epithets outside a mosque. Would he take over and be the daddy or would he prefer the title ‘shot-caller’?
Or he could star in a porno remake of a 1978 film, ‘I Spit On Your Tits’. Just a thought.
2
Nom makes me think of Brian Blessed. If you need a big shouty cunt, Brian’s your man.
4
Blessed is mad these days.
He recorded the funniest ever DVD commentary for Flash Gordon.
‘It’s all beautifully designed.. the rocketship has a rococo look to it.. like a piece of cake’.
another gem
‘Sam had a purity to him. He’ll look to camera and PURITY!….Not all leading men have that. Tom Cruise can look quite sinister’.
1
Winstone wasn’t bad in his earlier roles. As Arnie in Minder, Colin in Auf Wiedersehen Pet and as Will Scarlett in Robin of Sherwood.
But he’s done the hard man cockernee thing for years now.

I’ll take his accent over that “ya get me fam bloodclart ta rasclart ya feel me coz me is a bad man and ting “ primitive pigin any day. I’ll take any British accent over that filth (even Brummie).
We all need to stick together as much as possible at the moment.
