God it brings back all the memories of student days, and it was only a
couple of years ago for me, i'm starting to feel old, even though i'm
in college at the mo.
I had a guy down my halls whose nickname was Dr Brefille for his experimenting with a certain brand of toastie maker. Always useful to know if at 3 in the morning you have a craving for a toastie. Plus he was a bit of a stoner so could explain his need for munchie food ![]() My favourite was left over bolognase and cheese toastie, nutritous, tasty and quick. |
