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 best freebies in life are ...eeee free ! :)
Back in the day when i was an undergraduate i studied industrial biotechnology as part of my degree, an element of this included a trip to the Gales brewery in horndean, we got shown around the brewery by a big fat bloke who looked like he took full advantage of the product under his nose, each and ever step of the process was explained in agonising scientific detail.
We has been walking round the place for a good 2 hours and just when i lost the will to like the fat bloke say
"and the final stop is the tasting room"..
That woke me up
"there are rules" says the fat man
"you can only drink half pints in here"...
"BOOOOOOOOOOO" was the response from us
"but you can have as many as you want"...
"HOOORAAAAY"
we spent another 2 hours in the tasting room and got completely fooked, just when we thought it couldnt get any better the guy asked us if we would like to sample the range of fortified country wines they made... DUUUHHH
our lecturer got face on as he was driving and the only one sober

Been twice, you must have got the good tour guide. First time spent 1.5hrs on tour then drank, pulled own halfs, sampled all wines and got the tour guides wife to drive us back to the station. :)
2nd time we went we got a miserable old fart who spent 3 hours on the tour and would only let us have 3 1/2s and 2wines grudingly. :(
Shame i think its closed now after being taken over by fullers
