Maybe I just am unlucky to have met him numerous times when he's being a complete charlied up arsehole then..... but I have never been around him when he has been nice and therefore has not "redeemed himself" in my eyes.......
He lives off his brother's and his father's name good name imo....
rather i think it is I who was lucky to have experienced him away from his typical "danny" alter ego. in his prime, he was/is the classic charliehead as you describe tho.....total cock, but like most, ok deep down, just too scared/shallow/blinkered to know it.
