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?

last nighti was at a law society quiz and my team actually won. this was due in no small part to my shockingly in depth knowledge of 80s pop and chick flicks, so i was given the champagne.
and made to pose on the stage with the cup and a really stinky elvis impersonator ("smelvis" more like) but hopefully the photos will never see the light of day, never mind any legal magazines.
anyway, as if this wasn't enough desperate behaviour, i got a cab home and asked him to stop at the local tesco for cash before going onto my road. i left the door open as i went to the ATM, then decided to walk the rest of the way home as the cold air might have sobered me up a bit. it didn't, btw. so i shut the door before going to the passenger window to pay.
unfortunately, the taxi driver assumed i'd got back in when he heard the door slam, and he just drove off at high speed towards my road. leaving me desperate for him not to think i was doing a runner, staggering after him in stupid high heels, cash in one hand, bottle of champagne in the other, yelling for him to stop all the way down the street until eventually he did.
i am such a nob. if i had just walked 1 minute in the other direction, he'd never have found me again and i'd have saved myself £40. dammit. although i know my conscience would have kicked in really.

IHave been known to attend cringe-worthy quizes purely on the offer of alcohol being purchased for me.
cough cough, was also in the local pubs Cribbage, Pool and Quiz teams purely on the fact that when you win you get a pint from the vanquished opponent, and always get free food.

Your not oneof these people with a conscience that i read about when i was a young B8ta ??
I never thought they really existed and you being a legal person and all i always thought you have to leave your soul at the door when you start work like i do with sales.

You think that's bad?I once found £20 on the floor of the pub and handed it in to the bar.
What a twat.
