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.

Suprising where you can getat a festival wearing a high-vis tabard. This year I was a green messenger at Reading. This entitles you to a free ticket for clearing up a bit after the festival. I got backstage when I felt like, jumped all queues, walked a ticketless freind in, used staff toilets, drank their tea etc. All because people saw I had some sort of Reading tabard but didn't know what that colour meant. How they could take me seriously when the only indication of what I might be supposed to do was a badge saying "official clitoris inspector" I'll never know.
When we did gt round to clearing up I scavanged so much free alcohol from the site that even I am less than a quarter of the way through it after 3 months (needless to say I had to get a lift off site thus not exactly staying in keeping with the whole green thing).

Did the tabards at least have some kind of logo on them?Otherwise, this sounds very ripe for abuse - just bring a high-vis vest to a festival and you're set.
