Market Research vetting falls down...
I'm 24. I once got asked to a market research forum on Enterprise-level storage (backup devices, SANs etc.) £70 incentive payment - result! When I turned up, I must have been the only person under 40 and earning less than £80k. A room of 7 people incorporating 'Group IT Managers' and 'Worldwide Storage Strategy Directors' of one massive corporation or another. There were microphones everywhere. There were difficult questions.. Discussions of large sums of money. And there was me - a backup boy with 1 year's experience.
Reckon I blagged it ok though (and got the cash!)

Pump it up
Aged 11 I was utterly convinved that Reebok sportswear was the coolest thing in the world, especially Reebok pump trainers. As luck would have it my Uncle generously bought me a pair of 'the pump' / 'Hexalite' 'Blacktops' for xmas. They looked great with my turquoise 'the pump' branded shellsuit trousers and 'the pump' white / luminous yellow T shirt and matching socks.
For a short time I felt spoilt, and only now do I realise just how many ways that was true.
