ha ha! I didn't even read the entry requirements, but I've come up with a few ideas for a 'credit crunch' dining scene, sort of involving toilet roll as napkins and polos and nescafe sachets as after dinner coffee and mints...er...um....
Ah, just read a bit more about it...I can adapt an idea I had for a cover version of 'skyline pigeon' by Elton John that I was going to do a few years ago.
