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?

He's not a conman, he's not a cuntHis name is Clive, he's currently banned from Jimmy's Night Shelter so he's in a pretty precarious situation as if where he's currently staying doesn't work out he's going to have to sleep rough (which he sometimes still does).
Talk to him; he's a nice guy. He's got a cold at the moment but doesn't believe in taking Lemsip.
No, he's not Scottish.
Varsity did a piece on him... a while back now (three years?) in which it gave his backstory.
If he didn't thank you for buying a Big Issue you probably didn't treat him like a person. I'm not judging, but he always thanks me. Actually he put me on to a story which I'm considering researching for Varsity at some point, which is relevant to the QOTW;
Jimmy's Night Shelter at the moment (allegedly) charges the council for providing beds for about 200, but in actuality only houses about 30. They're the cunts here, folks. Clive's just had a really shitty life and is trying to get by.
