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?

Ooooh, whilst I remember!Big cons in Bristol at the moment. The crims? The Homeless. The victim? The innocent cider drinker.
How to spot the con.
If you see someone sitting by cashpoint holding a sign that says, 'Parents kidnapped by Ninja's, need money for kung-fu lessons' be very warned indeed. That's VERY WARNED.
I have it on good authority - although I can't reveal my source for obvious reasons - that these people are pretending and that they will probably spend the money you give them NOT on kung-fu as they suggest, but more likely drugs and white cider.
Trusting my source as I do. (Alright, he's called Wizard and sells the big issue outside the Tesco Metro and we had a serious debate about it the other night - against my will I add), I'm still not sure, not least because the bloke who sits by the RBS cashpoint speaks in a dialect I don't understand. It sounds a bit like a drunken mumble, but it might be kung-fu talk.
Be careful out there kids.
Mullered.

RBSthat bloke speaks perfect trampish, you need to brush up on yours.
I know for a fact he doesn't like crisps as he has no teeth, so i'd suggest giving him cider (as it tastes like piss and it saves you drinking it)
