Cheating cheaty cheatsI'm rubbish at cheating. I was asked to help run a stall at a local fair. We sold squares on a treasure map for 10p a go, with the one closest to the "hidden treasure" winning stuff.
I told my sister where it was. I'd not really thought through how obvious this would be. I've kind of avoided cheating since, what have you cheated at? Confess all, it'll make you feel better.

Not MeBut my younger brother, Chris the Thicky.
Now I've always been smarter than my younger brother Chris but the little sod is *way* better cheating than I was. Back in the mists of time we used to compete at Blockbusters (I'll have a "P" Bob) and every day I'd soundly thrash him.
And then came the week where we started playing for a pound a game. And to my astonishment, he started to thrash me. Not beat me. Not get a few more questions right than I did but absolutely cane me. As soon as Bob Holness started to ask the question, the answer would be tumbling from my terminally-stupid brothers lips.
This went on for a week and I was down a fiver before I sussed the little swine. He'd been taping the bloody episodes the day before and then memorising the answers before playing the taped episode back to me. I thought it was a live transmission as he'd also used a marker pen to black out the play LED on the video.
So who's the thicky now eh?
