Moral of the story – Sinclair are dicks

It reads like the protagonist is criminally insane; helpless against his uncontemplated conclusion that consequences can ever be escaped.

Watch out for this characteristic lust for lying, and rescind your trust to the extent that you could even throw ‘em further.

Legal action to reclaim the money?

Good luck, but I wouldn’t expect anything more to come of it than a court judgement against his name and a bill from the solicitors.

He was a nice Fella.

At first I thought this was quite hilarious, but then I think about it, and there’s something quite eerie about it. In a way, for some people, university throws money at you that you have never seen before. So this guy, who I do not know personally, seized the day, he kind of took the money and enjoyed his life. Touche to him I say. For, he could have been like the other suckers and gone to the library where everyone is using facebook anyway, gone to those deadbeat lectures where the professor speaks so quietly that the already sleepy/hungover students fall into deeper dreams… lived the mediocre student life. I kind of admire him.

Despite all his faults and predicaments he left people in, I really doubt he did any of it maliciously.

His northern banter and playful antics will be missed greatly.

Miranda,

Both names have been withheld as publishing exact details could interfere with the legal action currently being initiated.

Out of simple (and also morbid) curiosity, why has the cad’s name been withheld?

‘a genuinely nice guy’?? i just find it funny how reading that story, and knowing the guy himself, you can even say that. You’ve clearly been just as ‘done over’ as we have by his charm.

He will NOT be seen in Ziggys having fun. In fact he will not be seen having fun again, once we get our hands on him.
to marcelo : you don’t understand what you’re talking about, the money was lent out of good faith, and yeah we couldn’t afford but we trusted him.
footballer : you were clearly also a victim of his ‘golden’ charm…gutted

As a member of the football club I’d like to wish our surfing friend the best of luck! Harsh on those guys who he did over but he always seemed a genuinely good guy and he’ll be remembered very fondly by us. Hopefully he’ll return one day to pay his debts and enjoy Ziggy’s again.

True moral of the story – Don’t leave your “female friend” when she still has ’round two’ left in her. He could have at least waited another hour!!

Some people do have that much money Marcelo – they have wealth that goes beyond anything you will have seen in Chile, or throughout your playing days at both Lazio and Juventus.

to be honest, who lends someone that amount of money? who has that much money to lend? what a mug.
