Poverty crushes many a dream, and if nothing else I was poverty-stricken, with only a couple of hundred quid in the bank and rent to pay on a flat I didn’t want to give up. The trip was out of the question; out of the question that was, until the next trio to the pub. Sometimes the more ridiculous the idea gets the more desirable it becomes, and the idea had certainly become more ridiculous.
