Pot Noodle on chips, but only when it's the Chicken and Mushroom one.
Made that delicious discovery when I was a student living on pound-a-pints. If only I could live on 30 quid a week now, I could retire. Bloody inflation.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

You lucky blighter. I managed to take 4 contractors out in Liverpool a few years ago, pie, chips and 8 pints £27.00. If I found one of my agents wasting money on contractors at somewhere like the OXO tower then they would get the bullet. (Unless of course there was the prospect of some good further businessOriginally posted by BrilloPad View PostMy agent wants to take me but I have heard mixed reviews. I saw some favourable recommendations here http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/01/24/oxo_tower/ but I am not sure.
I think I would prefer wagamama. Any tips for me?
