yeah maybe you could hack their ordering script to give you 50% discount.. then again why stop there ;-)

Breach of client confidentiality?

Breach of the Data Protection Act?

Employer's Leaving Certificate?

That's just like me getting free stays with a well known luxury hotel group, just because I've done a lot of really good design and consultancy work for them as part of my job. And I've met a lot of people at their HQ too.

But I don't and won't, probably. In fact I get more hotel-related perks from one of my housemates being a hotel manager.

I once worked in a bank in which I dealt with the accounts of several incredibly well paid sportsmen. Didn't get any free tickets to the World Cup or Commonwealth Games, or even a slice of their substantial balance either :(

I think Pete M has more chance of supplying you with cut-price exhausts :)

Strangely, we have no sporting clients, but one of our business clients provides corporate box tickets at Old Trafford, and tickets to major rugby events, and another client gave us a pair of tickets to the last european cup semi finals in portugal.

I could have gone, but have no interest in football.

One of the 3 blokes that owns phoenix, the owners of MG Rover also owns Mondello Park. All of the track cars are rovers and most trainings sessions are held there. Easy enough for me to get tickets to any of the events there because of it, yey :)

I havnt actually breached annything have I? A whois on the domains returns our DNS servers so it's a ,matter of public record.

We get some free stuff from old trafford, their trinaing center has one of our connections and he helped them out with a fault.

The guy who wnet over got sent a few tickets to man u games.
