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.

Riders!Riders, for those who don't know, is the word for the free drink and food that bands are entitled to.
Many years ago, my band played a gig in Tamworth. We were second on the bill. A young band was first and a band that thought they were the new Oasis were headlining.
The headline band spent so long setting up and sound checking that there was only 10 minutes to soundcheck us and the young band. Basically they and their manager were a bunch of cocks who thought they were much bigger and better than they actually were.
So, while they were playing we drank their rider dry. Then fucked off.
Also, we played a festival in Hexam, supporting pint-sized eighties "legend" Bob Catley.
This time we all smoked a fat one while hanging around backstage, got the munchies and ate our way through his rider!
He wasn't too happy.
