This is a question Conned

swiftyisNOTevil writes, "I have recently become obsessed with the BBC Three show 'The Real Hustle' - personally, I think of it as a 'How To' show for aspiring con artists."

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?

Drugs, drugs, drugs
As you may know I have a longstanding recreational interest in the above (cheesey quaver, using not selling) and have paid the price many many times - good money for all sorts of random tablets, god knows what as liquid ket, blotting paper run through an ink jet and sewing machine (for the perforations) as LSD as was and the torn out barcode from a rizla packet "zebras innit", however by far my lowest moment was back in the day at this scutty jungle rave in a laser quest in Wandsworth (not The Laserdrome - that was wicked!) After finally managing to score some speed off a pre-chav girl (the word didn't exist then, just the people) my friend and I had two big lines racked up. I greedily went first. It felt slightly rougher than the usual "punch in the face" sensation from the cheaper powders so I grimaced, had a dab - it crunched in my teeth - not good, so I poured the whole g into a glass of water. It sunk straight to the bottom - not even a hint of any solubility. The bitch had chiseled the plaster out of the wall - we found the hole when we went back looking for the now long gone scutter.

Regrets - not supressing the grimace long enough for my mate to do his line!

Later I will tell you how I was conned out of a year of my life by not lying to the police.

Anyway - Let that be a lesson to you kids.

ED:-
It does work the other way too - the first time I came across magic mushrooms of the foreign variety (not our small liberty cap type) it was openly on sale at a V festival. I gave the mushrom seller loads of grief about them being from Tesco's and dyed green, bet they wouldn't work etc. Anyways ended up agreeing to a double dose of "Philosopher's Stone" for free. I had a fantastic festival but I did miss a few bands I wanted to catch. I congratulated/apologised to the geezer the next day (when I could see) as I paid for my mushies!
