Desperate TimesStranded in a hotel in an African war zone with no internet access for two weeks, I was forced to resort to desperate measures. Possessing only my passport and the clothes I stood up in; and the warning "You can catch it shaking hands with a vicar out there" ringing in my ears, I had to draw my own porn in order to preserve my sanity.
Alas, it all came out looking like Coronation Street's Audrey Roberts, but, as they say, any port in a storm.
What have you done in times of great desperation?

Not as desperate as I thought.....I graduated in a early eighties very depressed Sheffield and spent some time on the dole. I worked out at the time that I had less money to live on in total than my parents spent on cigs. But I digress. All clothes at that time were bought from charity shops and one day I bought a denim jacket for a quid. When I got home I found a pound note in the pocket (note: no longer legal tender, but could still be changed at banks). Anyway, it felt like I had won the lottery and fed me for days!

was that the 1880s?A pound didn't go far even then. A couple of choccy bars maybe. Although I do recall you could travel anywhere for 2p on the buses.

Finding moneyIt is always great to put your hand in your jacket/coat pocket and find forgotten money. I've found $5 notes in library books too. My best find was a $20 stuck to some gum.
