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.

Central CheatingI grew up in the shadow of my older and smarter brother and whilst some may have wilted under this pressure to excel I positively shone. Not in an academic manner but more in a lazy, slack jawed duplicitous manner who used the fact that I had an elder brother to my advantage.
My proudest moment came in the practicals for my biology exam. Understanding the effects of wavelengths of light on the growth of Brassica Hirta (it's a classic). I bribed someone (one Wham bar and a can of TNT) to break into the store room where they found an old project completed by my brother. Coincidentally he too had seen it fit to understand the effects of blah blah blah. It took me just a couple of hours to copy his work out word for word.
He had only managed a c whereas I got a whopping b+ for exactly the same work.
Now I have typed this out I wonder why I didn't take somebody else's project. No wonder I am where I am today. Could have done better.
p.s.
whilst my partner in crime was breaking into the cupboard he also saw fit to liberate the school of a pickled kitten. On reflection I would rather have had a pickled kitten then an A level in Biology.
p.p.s.
he later stole a live american bull frog, I'm wondering if it was me that set him on his road of petty thievery.
