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.

Those heady days in London townAfter university I ended up going to London, not because I was delluded enough the streets were paved with much more than pigeon shit, but because I was offered a job with a high profile magazine, which in fainess would always look good on the CV.
So whilst at said magazine there were far too many freebies and "celebrity" parties to list, but in return for all of this hard cash was not really on offer. In fact EMAP being nice and tight got us to put in for our own Christmas do. Supposedly we were to have a three course meal with unlimited alcohol for £10. This "unlimited" became rather limited soon after the main course in which I managed to get first our table then pretty much everyone drinking White Russians. The Editor was approached but one of the waiters to inform him that we had already gone over out budget, cue him informing us that we were not allowed anymore cocktails, but wine was OK. We ordered a bottle of red and a bottle of white per person on our table... we contemplated Champagne, but thought we'd get into too much shit, and the editor was actually a decent guy.
Still, he saw the funny side, and it wasn't coming out of his pocket, we cetainly got our maoney's worth, so all was good.
