All this talk of food has reminded me...
I went to stay with my friend at newcastle who had a pretty odd flatmate. Every morning he'd be up at about 6ish and all through the day he'd be cooking really good food, whole turkeys, pies, he'd have cakes and one night 'free' wine. On the last day I was there he was even cooking prawns for breakfast. How on earth did this scummy student dine like a king?

He used to get up at 5 in the morning and go and rummage in the bins of a certain food stockist.. Sparks and Mencer (subtle). He never bought a SINGLE meal for the entire year.. apparantly.


In other news, another friend of mine (yes, another) lives across the road from a Greggs. A van comes to pick up the food that wasn't sold during the day at 1.30 in the morning. Her and her flatmates stake it out and when it arrives get their pick of sandwiches, pasties, cakes, scones, out of date drinks and so on and so forth.

Tight? cheap? Or money saving genius?

I would say all three
But I would also say that my girlfriend works at Greggs part time, and what this person is taking would normally be taken away for pig food, as it's been sitting in a hot shop for over 8 hours!

i think
its entirely possible to live on Greggs sausage rolls and iced fingers alone. I tried it for 2 years once. Yes I gained a smidge of weight. But my good it was good.

I'd also accept cheese and ham pasties as a susbstitute for sausage rolls.

Christ I'm hungry now.
