Hey there all you students!! Do you like food, of course you do, but what do you like more than food?? MONEY!! Thats right. I am often asked "James, what is the cheapest, tastiest, quickest, easiest thing i can have for dinner?". Well, that is a simple question, one that I cba to answer, so to make it more interesting I added one more factor. So what is the cheapest, easiest, tastiest, quickest thing i can have for dinner when I don't have a working hob!?

Well some of the quicker ones of you out there may have come up with cupa-soups or similar food in a packet but they all cost in excess of ?0.50!!!! Outrageous, no. The answer is a boiled egg and soldiers. Lets get the important stuff out the way first, cost. Egg(Sainsburys Economy) = ?0.08 and bread(Sainsburys Economy) < ?0.01 per slice. So as you can see your onto a winner there. Wait, I hear you cry "You need a hob to boil the water", well, your wrong. The answer is a kettle. Below find detailed instructions of how to cook boiled egg and soldiers with a normal, not modified, household kettle.

Phase 1

Fill kettle with at least 15cm of water.

">>>THE DANGERS OF PASSING OUT AT STUDENT FLAT PARTIES SPECIAL<<<

As you can see from this shocking picture nobody is safe from anal-intrusion tools once unconcious at a student flat party. Jynx, 19, shows off the implement that was forcable inserted into his rectum at his own flat party. Normally a simple kitchen tool turned into a implement of torture.

Beware passing out at flat parties, you may wake up very uncomfortably."

Lol, nah, your's arn't strange enough :p

Actually...the whole anal-intrusion hasn't actually happened to me...yet...but people have convincned me to climb ontop of a bus stop and do singing in the rain...naked, and a whole load of other hugely outrageous stunts which i'm sure i will be discussing with the lot of you at tBG :D

singing on a bus stop? man thats weird! We stole a 10ft Wilts & Dorset bus stop one night after drunkenly pulling it out of the ground! To get rid of it we left it at a bus stop near our house one night and it mysteriously went!!

Blackstar

We tried to get a cone on the top of a statue of a man on a horse, but the police turned up so we had to leg it :)
