    In 3rd year we had an irish test. Pretty basic one; just had to write a story about witnessing a car accident or something. Anyone being the cunning genius I am, I decided to record the whole story onto my mp3 player. My plan was that I'd have the headphones stuck up my sleeve and play it at a certain volume so id only hear when I held my sleeve up against my ear. It was faultless or so I thought. The class before I had been listening to music full volume and forgot to turn the volume down, so we were sitting in class in complete silence doing the tests when I decided to put my plan into action. I looked around making sure the coast is clear and clicked it on, next thing I know the mp3 comes to life blaring '' CHEANNAIGH ME AN MILSEAN SA SIOPA'', I quickly struggled to turn it off but it was too late. The room erupted into laughter and the teacher jumped up out of his chair and headed straight for me.

    Our jails are filled with pedophiles and murderers while the likes of you are allowed walk the streets. Makes me sick.

    Are you sure you've got that right? Aren't you known as the "40 year old virgin with the rather large bottom" in The Thunderdome?

    Cheated on my boyfriends, but that was good cheating. Well it was good for me, something that eudaemonic can hardly be called bad can it? ;):D:D:D

    Cheated on countless exams in secondary school, was so easy to do as school was a bit of a joke.

    One I always used in French/Spanish/Irish class was if we had an in-class exam where we had to write a letter to a penpal or some other such bollocks, I'd already have written the letter the night before, perfectly, and leaned super hard on the pen so the imprint of what I had written showed up clear as day on the next page of my A4 pad.

    For my Christmas maths exam in 5th year, I stashed my notes in a plastic zip-lock bag in one of the cisterns in the toilets. Told the supervising teacher I had a tummy bug, but that I would be okay to sit the exam. Every so often, a ''cramp'' would get me and I'd have to go to the bathroom... Haha.

    In the casino one night, I was sitting next to a sweet little old lady, who appeared to have more money than God in her purse. She was incredibly long-sighted and had to hold her cards way out in front of her, and this gave me a clear sight of her cards. I politely told her what she was doing the first time, and she thanked me... And kept doing it! I took a fortune off her... Judge me if you want, but poker is a ruthless game and there is no such thing as friends at the card table. I had informed her of her error, but she kept on doing it. Yes, I could have got up and walked away from the table... and simply let somebody else sit down and do the exact same thing. I'm not proud of what I did, but it was a matter of ''if I don't do it, someone else will''.

    Add to this the countless times I have cheated or have been ''angle-shooting'' in countless other sports/activities/games... haha, a cheating scumbag!!! :D

    Cnutish is what its called. But I am quite sure that what you have just said is not based on fact.

    I can't think of anything, I wouldn't even cheat in a pub quiz people who do that sicken me to the very core of my being. I did cheat in tests in school but I don't think i ever did it when it really counted.

    I lived over in Wales until 4yrs ago when i moved here.

    Over there is a pub chain called Wetherspoons, they basically renovate huge buildings such as cinema's/theatres and turn them into super pubs, selling cheap booze, and i'm on about £2 a pint, £6 for a jug of Vodka/Red Bull etc

    Now Wetherspoons held a quiz every monday night, first prize was £50 and 10 drinks vouchers. The quiz questions all got faxed to the venues on a Monday Morning from Head Office. Not all Wetherspoons venues had a quiz but they all recieved the questions.

    A real good mate of mine was Assistant manager of a Wetherspoons 6 miles from my local one, they didn't do the quiz night but got the questions.

    He used to give me them, i'd turn up at my local with a mate, win the quiz, get the 50 notes and keep the 10 vouchers for the weekend.

    Some of the teams were complete egg heads, they could never understand how me and my mate would win every week.

    How many Hail Mary's for that one?? :confused::confused:

    I will neglect to detail the nature of my most daring cheats, legal concerns etc. I have however cheated in many games of Chess, and I will regularly cheat others of their dignity.

    Your friend Dialle went to India (possibly to star in Bollywood films) and now you are embezzling money from film studios in a vain attempt to salve your loneliness? :confused:

    Haha good thread Pighead:D

    I once worked in a pub in Dublin cc at Xmas for a few weeks. It wasn't me who was doing the cheating but I was party to it. The manager there was a bit of a gambling addict, loved the horses, football and dogs and usually had any number of bets running with customers, staff and the bookies next door. On Friday's random people we didnt know used to ring this guy up to ask him for odds on some game or race. He seemed to be making a nice sideline in offering people he knew odds that were usually better than the bookies.

    Anyway when it came to the pubs Xmas draw for Turkeys/Hams and bottles of spirits, etc he always had us push the tickets hard all for all of December. Then on Sunday morning before the draw was done if there were 200 tickets in the box he'd go and add another 200 'for the house'. That way of the 25 prizes 'the house' won nearly half the prizes.All that was on the Winners Poster was numbered tickets, no one knew who actually won the prizes so no-one ever asked any questions.

    A few days later he then distributed the bottles of whiskey, vodka amongst staff on Christmas Eve and wished us all a Happy Christmas before asking did anyone need odds for any races in Leopardstown on St. Stephens' Day :pac:

    We all went home that night with a bottle of spirits in hand. But I still couldn't help thinking that it was at the expense of the customers who didn't win a prize or even have a fair chance of winning one :(
