Tell us at least one funny story about yourself - I think the Best one has to be when I was at uni, pissed as usual!

Me and my house mate, struggled to get a taxi, so as we were walking past a hospital, I nicked a wheelchair that was outside.

Making our way back onto the main road, we flagged the first taxi that passed us, and it stopped. Not only did the taxi driver pick us up, he also got out of the car, lowered the disabled ramp and wheeled me into the cab! The funny part of the story came when he dropped us of near home, being slightly pissed I asked him how much for the fair, and when he told me I proceeded to stand up and pay him, totally forgetting that I was apparently disabled!!!

Me and my mate Baz quickly left the taxi, running as fast as we could!!! Oh and leaving the wheel chair behind!
