Abusing freebies
A 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.

......
the lounges are crap... ive been to a fair few, and now rather slum it with everyone else, evryone ive been to has had poor food and it felt like a library.
Yes the beer was free, but try drinking 4-5 bottles of beer then spending the next hour taxi'ing the runway with bladder fit to burst. Menaing you drink one bottle max..... all for a nice little extra tax by your airline - in the region of £30. is it worth it - a free bee? no way.

I don't know Jacqrus, a free bee could be pretty interesting.

OK, more info then.....
I travel on occasion for my company. Therefore they pay for my ticket. As they get royally humped for the price of the ticket - £200+ for a domestic return flight - I get the use of the executive lounge.
This is just fine with me!
Free drink (beers, spirits, wine - you name it), free food (sandwiches, crisps, nuts, pastries, muffins, cakes, biscuits etc), and free newspapers.
I remember one time in particular at Birmingham airport where I finished work earlier than planned, and got to the airport just in time to have missed the earlier flight home. I therefore had another 3 hours to wait for my actual flight home. Perfect.
By the time of my boarding call, I could hardly walk due to the beers, vodkas, and sarnies. I slept all the way home.
