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.

I work for a wine merchantsand regularly get to go on holidays in wine-growing areas for free. So far I've been to Champagne, the Rhone, and Bordeaux. I'm off there again in March.
As these trips are supplier-funded (they usually take us round the vineyards and winery) I don't put my hand in my pocket all week. Including some very nice restaurant meals - as we usually have the owner or a director with us, it's not going to be a kebab, is it?
And I couldn't even count the free samples I get my hands on.
It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.

Unlucky..French wine is only useful for cleaning tarnished coins.
Try New World wines instead.
Cheers
