The great thing about being a student is that you can live on 9p tins of beans and 99p pints of beer... that leaves LOADS of money left over to play 'ball!
I dunno... I went to an expensive Uni... but I heard from other mates that their Unions sold beer at 99p... ours prided itself in being different, which is why it kept all the surrounding pubs in business by over-cutting them...
