    The internet does not only contain porn, there are other things online as well, I only found that out.

    On the evening before you spend a Friday or Saturday night on the lash, clean your house/ apartment, make your lunch and breakfast for the next day, and leave a recovery pack (chocolate, lucozade, painkillers) on your bedside locker.

    That way, when you get up, your house is clean and stress-free and your lunch has been made, and everything is as hassle free as possible.

    Also, on nights out you should always keep a €20 stashed somewhere on your person,but not in your wallet. That way, if you lose your wallet, you can still take a taxi home.

    Also, put your house key on an old shoelace or some manner of chain, and tie it around you neck. The easiest way to lose your house-keys is by placing them in your pocket, and have them fall out when you stand up from where you've been sitting.

    I keep returning to this because it might just be the best advice given out on the interweb ever of all time.

    I was hoovering with a hangover yesterday and I hated myself a wee bit because I didn't subsume this wisdom.

    I applaud you Sir.

    Why were you hoovering with a hangover? :confused:

    I mean just cos you go on a night out doesn't mean your gaff automatically gets dirty. Could you not have waited til the hangover was gone to clean up?

    When you go for a day out with your missus make a clear plan where you're going to eat before you get hungry.

    Hungry people are often cranky, have difficulty making good decisions and in the confines of a car a hungry Mr and Mrs could well go thermonuclear on each other.

    Recently learned:

    If you have a really bad toothache (like I had a couple of weeks ago) thinly slice some ginger root and apply it to the tooth...chewing very softly if possible.
    Surprisingly effective.

    Headache tablets are often not effective for toothaches.

    Handy tip if it's 4AM and the dentist is 2 days away.

    When on a long drive and feeling hungry don't pull in at the closest petrol station/café - drive a couple of miles off the main road to a small town and try a café there.

    Off road cafés don't have the 'hungry monster' road business so need their customers to come back which means that the food is often of a far greater quality.

    After having a shower/bath always throw cold water on your face immediately after getting out as it loosens all the pores on your face after the hot water - keeps you looking young

    If you're being attacked by a shark, curl up into a ball. Shark's slanty faces make it very hard for them to bite round objects.

    If the shark persists, punch it in the nose.

    Don't, just don't, drink instant coffee. It takes a few minutes longer to make it with a French press but it's a zillion times more flavoursome.

    After eating museli wash the bowl straight away. Any longer than ten minutes and the remnants attach themselves to the bowl as if with heavy duty superglue.

    Reckon you could probably use Weetabix as bricks in a drier country. Just a dab of water in between each one for mortar.
