Back in 1991 my local rugby team were having a fantastic season, it got to the last match of the season and if we won, then the league was ours. I spent the 3 days preceeding that immortal saturday spinning an elaborate web of deceipt so convincing that my workmates were actually concerned for my health. With my alibis firmly set i trundelled off to the match in the highest of spirits. We had a fine day, and heady on the fumes of success and Kronenbourg we invaded the pitch to carry our heroes shoulder high from the pitch. I was brought back to earth with a bump on the Monday though, when summoned to the managers office. There, on the back page of the local paper, in full colour was our captain, complete with 1000watt grin. In equally glorious colour, with his arms wrapped around the captain was...
You've guessed it, a very happy, healthy and drunk looking me!
(result: on the spot sacking, but what the hell!)

I once worked in a photo-lab where someone got caught after being spotted in someone elses holiday snaps. You cant plan for luck like that.
