Alt: What's your cool trick or talent? Is it farting the March that darth vader walls around to?
Altalt: DUCK TUESDAY. I'M HAVING DUCK!

i lived on stamford street before they built the imax and before it was a cool area
we had 2 choices. walk miles to a shitty iceland (well it felt like it, carrying all the bags back) or walk miles to tesco in covent garden where you couldn't get toilet rolls, but you could get 5 types of truffle and squid ink pasta (damn you nakers).
you could get 4 cans of iceland spaghetti hoops for £1. that lasted 4 days when you ran out of cash.

My povvo student shop that lasted days was jars of smartprice bolognaise sauce, a couple of bags of smartprice pasta and a block of cheese.
Empty half of the bag and the jar of sauce into a baking dish, fill the jar up to the top of the label with water and chuck that in as well. Oven at 180 for 20 minutes, stir and add a load of grated cheese. Back in the oven for another 20. Done.
I could keep myself fed for about £5 a week.

It amazes me how culinarily spasticated some people can be.
I briefly lived from a bellend from lancashire that literally lived on bread. He polished off the butter in the fridge, when that ran out he shifted to Philadelphia and when that ran out I caught him spreading mayonnaise on toast.
The only time I saw him attempt to cook, he chose the largest diameter pan he could find, emptied a tin of beans into it and set the hob to full boar.
He was about 28 and hadn't just moved out either.

He didn't use them.
I gave him a spare set when he moved in as he'd had to bail from his last place (which should've been a red flag, he was a friend of a friend).
When we cleared his stuff out they were still there folded on the chair I left them on for him
