being able to cook makes life a treat even as a student
I don't know if anyone else here had this but the SU at my one used to be able to give out EU surplus stuff for free, tins of stewing steak (that looked like dog food) spuds mixed veg etc.

Me and my housemate used to make massive stews and pies etc. for pennies just had to spend a few bob on herbs and spices.

I went to my SU once to get my card so I could get money off at HMV.

I lived across the road from a Tesco so got most of my food there
I bought lunch out everyday so only really needed to prepare one meal a day. Never considered I might be able to get free food though.

My SU was a bit shit
I used to go to the Astoria quite a lot. Most gigs there were under a tenner and I saw some great (and some not so great) bands there.

dunno what the typical cost was cos we usually hid in the attic thing and sneaked back in
I do remember thinking that £8 to see Cocteau Twins was extortionate.

It is a bit, given that she didn't even sing proper words
