I got a free tour of Sydney Opera House once. Not by blagging but by tagging behind a tour group that arrived soon after I couldn't find a way in.

I hid behind someone, which isn't so easy when you're 6'2".Originally posted by threaded View PostTop fella indeed, blagging is an english art form that is sadly falling into disuse.Comment
