Desperate Times
Stranded in a hotel in an African war zone with no internet access for two weeks, I was forced to resort to desperate measures. Possessing only my passport and the clothes I stood up in; and the warning "You can catch it shaking hands with a vicar out there" ringing in my ears, I had to draw my own porn in order to preserve my sanity.
Alas, it all came out looking like Coronation Street's Audrey Roberts, but, as they say, any port in a storm.
What have you done in times of great desperation?

inept desperate students
that legless chilli recipe looks so bad it reminded me of a girl i lived with in halls and her culinary 'skills.'
absolute SPOILT brat princess (from golders Green, north london) who had never ever lived away from her huge adoring family before, sunshiney arse etc.... i get put into uni halls with her, the first thing she does is paper the flat with disney posters (she was 21) i dutifully remove them the first time she goes out (she was too intimidated to say anything, fire risk anyway...)
she didnt know anything at all about anything at all but NEVER shut up - seriously, she could talk a dog off a meat wagon. Once her first 2-tonne mummy 'care package' had run out (about 2 hours) she was so desperate to eat she decided to cook a meal. she had to ask me how to light the gas hob. about 20 mins later i hear frantic banging on my door 'quick, the pastas burning!' ??WTF the dappy tart had simply placed a panful of dried pasta on the highest heat. with no water. what a waste of her expensive new pan.
the worst was when she used the toasted sandwich maker and decided to wash it up... i found her with the marigolds on scrubbing happily away, the machine submerged in soapy water, the cord dangling out of the sink. luckily (or not) it ws unplugged.
silly girl, off topic, i blame previous threads.

There's always one little princess who has never picked up a bog brush.
They always end up with great jobs. I hate Friend Reunited :(

It's a shame
that she didn't leave the toastie maker plugged in.
You could then have watched Darwinian selection in action.
