In 1983, Mickey and Rodney went into partnership as Rodney was sick of being Del's dogsbody down the markets, being a lookout and humping Del's suitcase all over London.

In late 1984, Mickey started learning Aikido. Del asked him to say something in Aikido, but Mickey said it is not a language but a martial art. Mickey said he had a fight with 4 blokes the other night. Del thought it was a pillow fight. Mickey said he wiped them out with Aikido. Del then said "Sheep, cows? I know what it is. Its bull****". In 1985, Mickey and Rodney placed a 50 pence bet that Rodney would bring a woman to a party, and Mickey said he wouldn't. Del thought it was £50.
