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.

Helping others cheat is a shite ideaAt Uni we had to do some really basic computer programming (in BASIC ironically) but our lecturer who worked in our dept (Metallurgy) was absolutley useless and nobody had a clue how to do it - except me. Having done an 'O'Level in computer studies I knew how to do it, so for the small fee of several pints in the Union Bar (called the Mens bar - not sexist) I let everybody who wanted to copy my programming, it was only about 25 lines and not very complicated - this was 1984.
Anyway, the day came to hand it in and i thought i'd better double check it. Realised that I'd made a crucial mistake, so amended mine but nobody elses as I ran out of time/couldn't find them.
1 week later we get the work back. I got a C they all got an A. Turns out the original did work and my amended version didn't. Bollox.
