Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

Spanish Steps - Rome.It was coming to the end of a long day of sight seeing around Rome and I was tired and had had a few beers. The missus and I are making our way down the spanish steps when two likely Italian rogues start shouting 'Hey Eeeeengleeshh' 'David Beckham' and make their way over to us. Fuck knows why and how but the next thing I know I'm wearing a friendship bracelet and having to pay a fiver for the fucking priviledge. Usually I'd have kicked off but a combination of tiredness and a foreign country made me pay up and shake their hands as I walk on.
To this day I have no idea why I really fell for this and it all happened so quickly I can barely remember it.
The missus makes me carry the friendship bracelet around in my pocket when we go away to remind me not to be so fucking stupid in future. :)
