Life is drokking fantastic because i've just discovered the NUS Student dicount card which means I can now get my comics and BD's at like a 45% discount. Oh why didn't I hear of this sooner?!

Lucky drokker. Z

Indeed.

45% discount, eh? Not to be sniffed at, that.

Where from Hawk?

Just apply here....

It should be noted that it's not 45% on every brand or retail establishment that partakes in the service, and the card does cost £30 at first, but you can use it for the entire time your are a student or are in part time education so i'm pretty much covered for at least the next decade!

I know about the NUS card

Thanks to being an administrator at a student's union for a short wihle, I have one with let's say an unusually long expiry date

However I am out of the loop on what it can be used for. Where can you get comics at that whopping discount? I've only seen pennies off at Waterstones in the past.

I've just had the best meal of my life. I had no idea some of those tastes even existed. There was a toasted marshmallow in there somewhere which on its own would be in my all-time Top Ten mouthfuls. And the celeriac risotto, I think I found God halfway through. Is this how wealthy people live, in a perpetual state of epicurian bliss? How do they find time to fuck anyone over? No wonder they cleave to that money like it was the their life's blood - this is what it pays for!

Sadly the wonderful madeline that formed part of desert only evoked perfect recall of The Transporter. A la recherche du voitures perdu.

Ah Tordel I share your epicurean bliss. L'addition....vous? Z

I had toast.

If you had only reached over the side of that boat, you could have had Duck a l'orange. Z

Feck no! It was a voucher frustratingly given in lieu of pay for much overtime, its value clearly unrecognised by giver (or receipient) until the first of 8 mindblowing set courses arrived. I'm still struggling with the idea that gingerbread crisps exist, never mind that you should eat them with chicken liver pate, never mind that chicken liver pate is itself actually edible. How terrifying to think that this sort of thing goes on every day!

Expose: The 1% uncovered. Nothing like a good bail out to keep the hogs at the golden trough. Z

I want in. Shift over, Peppa.

F**k with the money they have; they've probably developed a cartoon to reality translation device and are eating cloned peppas at 50k a pop. 'Because we can' Z

I've accepted a job offer on the historically renowned (or however you want to describe it) Holy Island. It's going to beat working in a city centre shop, that's for sure.
