    COMMUTERS. When you leave your house, sprint the first 200 yards and then revert back to your regular walking speed. This will save you from having to do the run of shame for the bus nearer the stop and look like a fool when you miss it.


    I usually keep running if that happens and just pretend im out for a jog.

    For those with smart phones, you can tether the phone to your computer and use your phone as your internet provider. The speed is quite decent as well. So for those strapped for cash and who don't like using the Inet on their phone you could get rid of your home BB connection and just use your phone with your comp.

    But be careful about your contract, I have I thing 5 gigs of data a month, that is more then enough for me.

    Spice up a boring salad by replacing the vegetables with bacon and placing it between 2 slices of bread.

    Feeling hungry? Just pop down to your nearest Dunnes and scope the free samples. No free Samples, no worries, go to the food counter and request that you taste the product you wish to order, to assess whether you like it first only to make a dislikeable expression when you taste it. Proceed multiple times, in different places if neccesary until full. Also, Pancake day needn't be costly, just do the above, they usually give free samples.



    Warning to above: May not work on chicken, excellent on cheeses and sauces.

    Get yourself that expensive "gravel driveway" feel at a fraction of the cost simply by pushing rice crispies between the threads of your car tyres.

    An empty shoe box makes a great mini laptop side table when you're lying in bed.

    put a clock in the bathroom, one of the main reason people are late is cos they don't know the time in there.

    nail clippers are great for getting rid of hangnails ( the annoying skin that sticks up beside the nail sometimes)

    If eating a cola/wham/roy of the rover bar, pull the flap at the back to unstick it from the wrapper and the bar will be free to eat from start to finish. (works most of the time).

    cut the thumb slot off your glove so you can use your ipod/smart phone, you might look less fabulous but it's worth it, plus you can scratch an itch if you need to.

    Hide a toilet roll somewhere in the jacks for them rare times when the main roll was empty but you shat without looking.

    Take pics of bus timetables and other things you often need to know with your phone.

    have a favourite song that has a really annoying or silent intro? get rid of that **** with http://mp3cut.net/

    shorten the unnecessary length of your ipod/phone chargers/head phones with elastic bands/cable ties/selotape

    Same thing with a full box.

    put a clock in the bathroom, one of the main reason people are late is cos they don't know the time in there.

    It's the same time as in the bedroom? :confused:

    nail clippers are great for getting rid of hangnails ( the annoying skin that sticks up beside the nail sometimes)

    That's cute (icle)

    If eating a cola/wham/roy of the rover bar, pull the flap at the back to unstick it from the wrapper and the bar will be free to eat from start to finish. (works most of the time).

    Bars are never free to eat. All must be paid for at some stage.

    cut the thumb slot off your glove so you can use your ipod/smart phone, you might look less fabulous but it's worth it, plus you can scratch an itch if you need to.

    I believe there are special gloves on the market that get around the necessity for this ridiculous suggestion.

    Hide a toilet roll somewhere in the jacks for them rare times when the main roll was empty but you shat without looking.

    So you're sitting on the pot with a sh*tty arse and the only available bog roll is the far side of the bathroon hidden in the back of a press. Good luck with that.

    Take pics of bus timetables and other things you often need to know with your phone.

    How can a song have a silent intro?

    I removed the windows and problem solved.

    On the tethering though I was charged some €15 or something for a few minutes in September 2011. First and only time I done it, ripping cúnts. That was with O2 by the way.

    Save money on expensive address books. Simply pick up a free phone book and cross out the names of people you don't know

    Never pass a toilet

    don't kill spiders using shoes, hard back books work way better.

    stretch your arm out to over the spider holding a phone book size but hard back.

    drop book.

    RIP spider.

    clean book.

    If he's on a wall use a smaller book and throw the book .

    If he's in a cornor, fcuk that, move house.
