free underage drinks
On a night out I was chatting to a friend of a friend who'd been to the other high school in the same town as me. Talk turned to celebrating exam results (this was around a year after I'd left 6th form), and she told me a story about GCSE results night, when a pub landlord had given her free drinks all night because she'd done so well; in fact he had seen her picture in the local rag that day. Obviously this girl wasn't going to turn down free drinks, particularly not at the age of 16, although she was pretty sure there'd been a mix-up. Fast forward three years and it suddenly dawns on me that I was in fact the geek in the paper that particular year... those were my free drinks!

Dunno what he was thinking, she's ginger and I'm not...
