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?

Camden Town in the 90's... was not the place to be turfed off a tube train late at night. It had once been trendy, but ever since every talentless indie twonk in Christendom had gravitated to the place in the hope of being noticed, it had turned into a complete shit-pit.
So there I am on Camden High Street and it's like being in a Freak Brothers cartoon, every second person is 'Spare change? Spare change? Spare 20p for a cup of tea? I've lost my travelcard and can't get home... I've lost my wallet and can't get home. I've lost someone else's wallet and can't get home. My ship's been clamped and I need the tube fare to get back to Planet Zog.', etc. etc.
So when this raddled old Irish bag lady shuffles up waving an empty can of 9% and says 'Excuse me love, do ye think ye can spare me £1.30 for another one of these?' I was only too happy to oblige, and told her to enjoy.

WHAT?!?!?There were Freak Brothers cartoons?!?!? How could I have missed the wonder that is the Fabulous Furry Freak Bros?
dissolves into sobs thinking of missed delights
