Abusing freebiesA friend of mine recently attended a 'Champaign Lunch', where he was compelled drink as much fizzy stuff as he could between the first and last courses. In an ideal world we'd ask restaurant staff to tell us stories about fatties stuffing themselves at All You Can Eat places, but we recognise that our members don't all work in the catering trade, so for the rest of you - tell us something about abusing freebies. BTW: Bee puns = you fail.

No one questions the policeIn a previous job working for the local police force, I managed to blag a photographer’s pass for the final day of the Open Golf. As well access to the course, a front row view of the entire day and a 5 course slap up meal in the Nikon hospitality tent over looking the 17th Green… I had the cheek to put in a 16 hr claim for overtime (at double time). Happy days.
There was other perks too. Watching Old Firm games from the mouth of the tunnel / control room, concerts at Hampden park under the guise of PR work and press passes for T in the Park (which wasn’t even in the same force area).
However the best part about it was I worked in a IT role… not a PR one.
Length? 3 years worth of free events and overtime to attend.
