Abusing freebiesA friend of mine recently attended a 'Champaign Lunch', where he was compelled drink as much fizzy stuff as he could between the first and last courses. In an ideal world we'd ask restaurant staff to tell us stories about fatties stuffing themselves at All You Can Eat places, but we recognise that our members don't all work in the catering trade, so for the rest of you - tell us something about abusing freebies. BTW: Bee puns = you fail.

GuinnessA few years ago Guinness were running a promotion in our student union. These two girls were there handing out two free Guinness tokens and marking people with a UV pen so they could check if you'd already had your free drinks. The thing they didn't realise was that the clubby bit in our union had UV lights. I was the first to figure out that if you stood under the UV light and rubbed off the pen you could go back and get some more drinks tokens. Me and my mates got totally hammered for free that night :)
Guinness also run these St Patrick's Day promotions where if you drink a certain amount of Guinness you get free stuff like badges, silly hats etc. I only drink Guinness when it's free so I shouldn't be able to get any of this crap but it just so happens that St Patricks Day is my birthday and that I'm Irish. One year I managed to score both types of badge, an inflatable Guinness and one of those hats. In my freeby binge state I also tried my luck in the kebab shop. Rather than just say no to me they tried to argue that I wasn't Irish and that it wasn't my birthday which meant on production of my passport they had to give me a free kebab. Brilliant.

I've had loads from Guinness .over the years, I left my details at a St Patrick's night do, and they keep sending me stuff. I registered in about 5 different names, to get the beer tokens, and I've had; a stress reliever, "paddling pool" to keep your pint cold, inflatable pint, t shirts, hats, and playing cards. I give them to an Irish mate in the pub, and he buys me scrumpy in return,
Jack Daniels are good for freebies too, and it's quality; bottle openers, money clips, really nice coasters, and loads more.

BastardsJack Daniels never send me anything, all I got was a blank Jack Daniels CD so I could put some "sipping music" on it.
Wankers.
I do however have a plethora of Guinness freebies, hooray!
