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?

no substitute for the real thing
mentioned way back in 'Terrible Food' but worth posting I think...
picture the scene if you will...
a fairly inebriated (possibly slightly high, I forget now) beanojam returns from an evening well spent in the pursuit of good times but the consumption of much beer has opened up a vacuum in his stomach that requires filling with food.
having not passed any of the local late night purloiners of heart-attack inducing grease (read: the kebab shop) on the way home, young beanojam suddenly recalls the box of yummy Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Clusters cereal lurking in his cupboard. Hoorah! he thinks. However, this is where it all starts to go wrong...
there is no milk. there is no MILK. THERE IS NO MILK! DAMN! Hmmm, he still could really do with a bowl right now. What to use, what to use?
a brainwave strikes our reluctant hero; the sort of idea you can only have at this time of the evening: squirty cream! That's basically milk isn't it? Problem solved.
Nope. I may be desperate for cereal again in the future but there is no way I'm ever trying that again.
Worst. Idea. Ever.
Apologies for length but i'm on my coffee break trying to skive.

No milk?
I hate the stuff, so have eaten my cereal dry for the last 30 years. Ha!
