Stubby is going to enlighten you on the DOs and DON'Ts of perfecting this tasty treat. And whilst after watching this short clip, you may find that this particular batch of nugs falls into the DON’T column, it's each to their own, because somewhere out there, there is someone that loves nuggets with oyster sauce, peanut butter, satay, baby capers and parsley.

SPOOK’S 12 POINT GUIDE TO HOUSEMATES
July 5, 2011Let’s cut to the chase—it’s hard to find inner city rooms to rent, and it’s a pain in the arse to sort through 74 voicemails and 45 emails (No Shit!) whenever you declare to the open market that you have a ‘room to rent, 150 bucks a week, preferably no meth addicts.’ Now admittedly I’ve made many mistakes.
