I once got a free lunch from the RP school canteen when I forgot to pay.
it was still shit
no such things as a free lunch
No such thing as a *good* free lunch.
Ok, so I did once blag a free guitar amp.
For some reason, my guitar amp stopped working. I made an insurance claim stating I'd dropped it down the stairs.
My insurance company actually sent an assesor round to look at it.
I won the claim. Long before the days of excess.
And Mrs N. - expert blagger - has just reminded me she got the council to pick up our old sofa by doing a a fantastic impression of a poor little old disabled lady on the 'phone. Top stuff!
Once drove to Shrewsbury away with 3 mates to the new stadium. After stopping in the town centre for a few light refreshments we made our way out to the stadium. If you've ever been to Shrewsbury you will know how far the ground is out of the town centre, they even have to run coaches for their own fans out to it !!
Anyway on arriving in the vicinity of the ground there was no parking to be found anywhere. On impulse I drove straight into the carpark to be greeted by a steward and when I put my window down I just blurted out that we were Lincoln City Directors !!!! Luckily I had a fairly decent moter in the form of a Mercedes ML and to me and my mates utter disbelief the steward pointed us straight into the Directors carparking spaces.
You've never seen 4 blokes park up, get out a car and get into a stadium so quick in your life.
We managed to get away with though.
A mate of mine threw his desktop computer down his stairs about a week before his Currys "replace with new if we can't repair" insurance policy expired, claiming it was an accident whilst decorating. He was gutted when they told him he was lucky that only the casing was damaged.
