    if you notice someone choking on a piece of ice, simply pour a kettle of boiling water down their throat to clear the blockage.

    I'm looking forward to trying that.

    fool houseguests into thinking your nails grow extramly fast by cutting up a pingpong ball into tiny strips and leaving a small pile of them in the bathroom every morning:cool:

    Don't have a ciggie dangling from your mouth while you're refilling your lighter.

    If someone rubs chewing gum in your hair, peanut butter will loosen it.
    Or scissors.:D
    To stab them with.

    If you spill something on your white clothes, circle the stain in permanent pen, so that when you remove the garment from the washing machine you can easily locate the area of the stain and check that it has gone.

    If you are having a party in your house,make everyone swallow a numbered counter and note their name on a list.

    Then if someone is sick,you'll know who's responsible.

    On a related note, men should always keep a copy of the "Mama Mia" dvd in their bathroom should an emetic be required in an emergency.

    If you keep hitting the snooze button, put the alram clock far away from you when you go to bed, that way you will HAVE to get up to turn it off

    Before work if you live in a safe place go out and start your car engine and turn the heat up full then go back in and eat your breakfast. You will then get in to a nice warm car for the drive to work during winter.
    use the spare key to lock the car so you don't have to worry about it

    When you set your alarm for the morning put it in a place where you'll have to get out of bed to turn it off and if you're on the piss th e night before set at least 2.

    This always helps me get up on time

    DONT put it too far away. You won't hear the phone when workmates are ringing you to check why you aren't in work yet.

    People whose surname is Toblerone should always take along an empty 'Toblerone' chocolate box when attending interviews for office jobs. This would save your potential employer the expense of having to make a name plaque for your desk, and therefore increase your chances of getting the job.

    Why bother wasting your hard earned cash on crackers? just eat last weeks bread.

    Don't bother with get happy schemes, just give up and hate everything.

    Never punch a traveller.

    Dont sale too close to the island of giglio

    Buy 2 sausage rolls and a plain buttered roll, then put the sausage rolls in the roll. Its usually cheaper than buying sausages in a roll....

    If you're going out bantering on a wet day and dont want your feet to get wet place 2 sandwhich bags over your socks, then put on your shoes.

    Bring some tissue to bed with you and store it under your pillow, so when you wake up in the morning you can fap without having to leave the bed to fetch tissue.

    Anything you can do the night before work do it. Ironing, making your lunch etc. Makes getting up in the morning easier.

    Before work if you live in a safe place go out and start your car engine and turn the heat up full then go back in and eat your breakfast. You will then get in to a nice warm car for the drive to work during winter.

    Straighten all clothes when they come out of the washing machine or tumble dryer. Saves time on the misery of ironing.

    What is this "work" you speak of??

    DON'T waste money on expensive ipods. Simply think of your favourite tune and hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.


    if you smell gas Locate the suspected leak by striking an ordinary match in every room in the house until a loud explosion reveals the source of the escaping gas.

    Sit backwards on the toilet, the cistern is a fantastic place to rest your laptop while pooping.

    You're welcome.
