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?

I may have mentioned my dad before . . .But he really is stupid. Way back when I was but a kiddy he decided to divorce my mum on the grounds she was a raging nutter. As he 'doesn't like trouble' he just moved out and signed over the house to my mum, the solicitors stating it was for the best as she had the kiddies. It was soon found my mum was not only a nutter but a raging alcoholic to boot so we were taken out of her care and put in his, but SHE STILL KEPT THE HOUSE. Whilst I lived with my nana and he was living with his sister and my brother, Alki Mum lived it up in a 3 bed in a posh part of Cornwall (there is one, you see).
And that's how a pissed up old bitch conned my dad out of a very nice house.
My dad then became friendly with his cousin who has lots and lots of money and thinks he's a bit wide, the cousin then 'gives' my dad the down payment for his new house (not my new house mind, I live in a cupboard at my partner's parents house as baliffs piss me off) but keeps demanding 'favours' in return, meaning my dad pays him a shit load of money, gave him my car as a payment and has to run the many miles to the Lake District all the time to fix stuff for him and his friends (my dad is a lecky)
My dad really is a tit.
