Desperate TimesStranded 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?

My teeth are dissolving!Many years ago me and a couple of mates went on a camping trip in what can be comfortably described as the middle of fucking no where.
The plan was, instead of carrying food, we take fishing gear and a gun, and live of the land. After a couple of days of no food and freezing cold we ended up eating the one and only item of food we’d brought with us, a tin of Cremola Foam* . Basically it’s citric acid, sugar, flavouring and a bit of bicarb. If eaten makes you feel slightly unwell and produce the devils own farts.
*Powdered crystalline product that when added to water produced a vaguely fizzy drink.

Cremola, WOW!!!I haven't had that stuff in years, last time I was able to get hold of it was in NI about 10 years ago. I think that's only because Norn Iron is stuck in a late 50's time-warp.
Particularly nice was the Cola flavour, which was like flat, Tesco Value Cola, mixed with soap to make bubbles. Yummy.

you not wrong lardyboythis was the Outer Hebrides in the 1980s, which is about 1920 on the mainland I'd guess.
It was popular with the Wee Frees on the island, as real fizzy drinks would produce dangerous levels of bodily pleasure.
