BCG's most philosophical sad sack is struck by existential angst when contemplating the choice of cookie, scratchard or saving.
Sadly he has mistaken his Subway for Bristol and is murdered for his socks.
His wife as ever isn't sympathetic.
This is the second time I've been implicated with the goings on in Bristol - maybe I should hand myself in.

If you go home and they're putting a load of scaffolding up, you'd best scarper.
Quote: Tuumble @ January 21 2011, 2:14 PM GMTI was in Subway earlier and after finishing my sub and a drink I still felt peckish so I thought I'd get three of their cookies for £1. Just before I got up I asked myself whether I really needed to get them as we're in the post-Christmas, pre-pay day, obviously skint phase.
I then thought that I could get a scratch card instead and then I might just win something and would at least be donating something to charity should there be no prize.
I pondered further...
Why not just save the money. A pound in my pocket is better than in someone elses especially as we're short at the moment but those cookies are really nice too. I will at least enjoy them and know I got something for my money. But my waistline was saying no - in that sense I certainly didn't need them.
As it was the cookies had the greater pull than a scratch card or saving the money. The likelihood of losing of the money and having nothing was too depressing and that feeling was more prevalent than the potential good I was doing for charity. I guess lining Camelot's pockets was what was putting me off.
Bloody hell - this is a quid we're talking about. I just thought it interesting how my conscience was pricked in a way that I could make money, and contribute to society but ultimately overruled by hunger and a quick taste fix.
Sigh...
If you eat at Subway you can't really be that skint!
Are you MAD?
Subway is YUM.
Well I think it tastes damn goooood.
Don't care what's in it.

But they cost a bomb! Or should that be a torpedo?
I only have it once in a blue moon.
OK, I've had an idea for a music based craft item that I'd like your opinion on.
Basically what I've done is melt an old cassette tape and mould it into a 'splat'. By turning the case around it acts as a stand and I think it looks quite interesting. It would certainly be a talking point even if guests said, "Why the hell have you got a melted cassette tape on your shelf?"
It's quite touchy feely as well because of the smooth and curved surface so I don't think it needs to be attached to the case. It could even be used as a paperweight.
Now, the version below is a blank tape and for testing purposes only. If I was to do this with actual bands do you think people would be interested in paying money them? Would 60s and 70s artists be more popular or would be fans of Beastie Boys, AC/DC or Oasis be more likely to buy? Maybe having a ruined Bros or Wham! tape will make it a more fun item to cheer up or annoy friends and relatives. 
Getting cassettes from charity shops for next to nothing shouldn't be too difficult but what would people be prepared to pay? £2? £5? Any more?
Any opinion appreciated on aspect of this - I don't want to waste my time if everyone thinks it's a dumb idea.
I've had Subway a few times. They're rubbish.
It's madness paying for a Subway when you can buy a whole loaf of bread for cheaper!
What I got today was a £2.99 deal of a Sub and a Coke. That's not terrible value.

What kind of crap Subway have you been eating that just contains bread?
Is it just me or have there been an unusually high number of new BCGers in the past few weeks?
I'd have to buy special bread, meatballs, cheese, salad, marinara sauce and BBQ sauce to make the Subway I like.
Definitely less money and hassle to just buy one from them every couple of months!
It's not as if it costs a tenner a go.
Alright! Jeez! I like me homemade sarnies and I'm cheap! Established.
