    He points to his ear and says he can't hear
    Now he asks for a euro, but he should be assessed by the criminal assets bureau .

    Which town.

    Ah he's been "outed" on here many a time. Yeah we know about him. Saw him a few weeks ago on D'Olier street. Someone actually gave him some euros, was about to pipe up but thought "f*ck it".

    I like his product and marketing technique. It's a great business model all 'round, low overheads, management-owned, flexible trading hours. It's a lesson for us all.

    I see him around Westmoreland Street a lot, he hassles people at bus stops and tends to get money from tourists waiting on buses to the airport. Usually doesn't ask anyone with earphones in though.

    Knacker Dwarf isn't deaf. I'm guessing you're talking about Galway, of course!

    He was at it this evening at the Airport Express/ 11, 16, 46a bus stop on Westmoreland St.

    He got money off one person and walked unashamedly and immediately into the Boylesports right beside the Bus Stop.

    I've saw him get spoken to by a couple of Gardai Siochana. One made a point of speaking to him quite loudly saying

    "You're not deaf, you and I have spoken before... remember... when I've arrested you"

    The next time I saw him, I said to him "I know you're not deaf" he couldn't get out of there quickly enough, not before shooting me a dirty look.

    This sounds like a Dustin Hoffman movie, in more ways than one

    Doesn't sound like much of a con tbh. How does he react after you've told him to fúck off (with accompanying gesticulation for his benefit)?

    I was in a bar in Spain a couple of years back when a man walked in and left little cards on the tables, each card read " I am trying to provide money for my family but cannot get a job as I am deaf, any donations would be helpful" after about 5 mins he picks up the cards from each table hoping people would leave money too, when he picked up the card from my table and walked off I shouted sorry and he turned around, the whole place erupted in laughter and he just walked out :D
