    <peacedove>Good Samaritan have no place in the dictionary any more. Seeing some one for
    the first time; that person needs help. How do you discern if the person is real or unreal?.
    Going to memory lane, the story of that Liverpool supporter who paid for the taxi of two away
    supporters when they missed the train about a year ago always ring the bell.
    Today, at Stratford Underground Station, I was thinking of getting money out of the cash point
    a woman approached me, and I pretended not to notice her, she immediately accused me of
    ignoring her. I was somehow embarrassed, she speaks good English, and she added that
    "she was pregnant". Was I responsible for pregnancy?. It would have been rude to have told her that.
    I have been done many times trying to help people. Have you experienced things like
    this before?.How do you know if someone is a swindler or genuine?.

    If you get a bird come up to you at a train station asking for cash to get home "as she's lost her purse", they usually ask for a fiver, so I always say "I'll make it £20 if you suck me off", that generally sorts the wheat from the chaff.

    Happy to help <ok>

    ****ing brilliant! You dirty dog Dribbles , you don't even remember knocking the lass up. Tell her your name is Gerrez from Mansfield and offer to do a DNA test to prove that the baby isn't yours and then emigrate to Nigeria.

    Did she actually want anything or was she just bragging that she was preggers?

    Real hard luck cases are decent folk who are desperate. They do not approach you at cash machines, the real desperate cases are the ones who don't get in your face because they have retained some dignity.


    A guy asked me for a smoke once, I said "I aint got any", he said "no problem mate, sorry for asking but y'know.."
    I went into the shop and bought him 20 <ok>

    How does anyone #legit need to approach random strangers these days?

    Even the case of the taxi for the away supporter was done by making posts on an internet board

    A trip to your nearest joke shop wouldn't go amiss dribs, just get a few packets of those false scars and a bag of false pimples, adorn your face with the contents and you'll never get asked for spare change, a ciggie or duped again.:biggrin:
