Years ago when I was a poverty stricken student I once smoked the contents of a tea bag because I couldn't afford ciggies AND ate some bacon that was a month out of date. :eek:

Brave? I'd be more tempted to say insane, it puts a vibe of DANGER in my eating habbits! :rotfl:

(I ate some un cooked elderberries out of curiosity. They gave me the chronic squits! lol!)

ZTD, I'm holding you responsible for the coffee-throug-my-nose incident I've just had. Tissue please!

brilliant thread;

and JCD you are right to complain, thats awful! sure it tasted better than it looked! (fingers crossed!)


here's my student (I was young and thought alcohol was a necessity! forgive me...) hard up story...
we couldn't afford to go out, so a flatmate decided to take matters into his own hands and brew his own 'non specific alcoholic drink' using (I wish this wasn't true but it is) some yeast a guy in Tesco gave us for free, and some off fruits reduced to 5p each in Lidl. The end result was, well, wrong.

and today when my little brother had to raid his tips jar for my bus fare to town... (insert red face)... felt so bad but payday tomorrow and should be able to repay his £1.50 loan
