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.

FailedIn the past three years I've failed to get:
1) Free tickets to the opening match at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. Despite writing their ticket sales 3D virtual stadium thingy, I was away on holiday and some arse from the office went instead of me.
2) 4 Xbox 360s, 2 Nintendo Wiis. All offered as incentives to spend over 5 grand on hardware a week (or in one case, 2 days) after I've spent 17 grand or so. Would the sales people give it to me retrospectively? Would they arse.
3) Free drinks at launch parties for new buildings in London because I'm the techie who wrote the software rather than the artist who did the nice piccies of the building and so don't count.
I'm really not cut out for this freebies thing. It's lucky I'm not bitter, eh?
