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.

Theatre
I worked for a long time - 12 years, on and off - behind the bar at my local theatre (the New Vic in Newcastle) until I moved to Manchester. However, I still go there on occasion, becasue it's only about an hour's drive away and because I have a soft spot for it. (A very good version of "Blue/Orange" on at the moment, if you're quick...)
They still let me in for free. Not remotely funny, I know - but I find it unaccountably touching. Ahhhhh!
Normal cynical service will be resumed soon.

Basford?
I'm living up the road and around the corner from the new vic at the moment. I'm a student at keele, living off-campus in a rented house for my second year with some friends. It's a small world after all.
