    Don't pay 40 euro for a pair of headphones that will break anyway. Buy 20 €2 pairs from the pound shop instead and when they break, you've got 19 more! :-)

    Cheer loudly at 8.00pm each Saturday to fool the neighbours into thinking you have won the Lottery.

    HOUSEWIVES. I find the best way to get two bottles of washing-up liquid for the price of one is by putting one in your shopping trolley and the other in your coat pocket.

    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.

    Can also be used in a supermarket as a "next customer please" sign for those with dyslexia.

    Turn off your fire alarm,light a few candles,leave the doors open and put some iron bars outside your windows.Oh,don't forget to unplug any chargers,we don't want a fire do we.

    Turn those boxers / knickers inside out. You'll get an extra week out of them as long as you don't mind yellow / brown stains on the front !!

    Never have sex with a person who has just rubbed deep heat into your injured shoulder, just don't do it. But I have fond memories of her mirth, she did think it was very funny,

    Boil an egg to perfection without costly eggtimers by popping the egg into boiling water and driving away from your home at exactly 60mph. After 3 miles, phone your wife and tell her to take the egg out the pan.

    Ladies, create doubt in the minds of grieving wives by attending their husbands' funerals in a big wide brimmed black fcuk off hat, stilleto heels and a mini skirt whilst sniffing loudly into a handkerchief, all the time claiming that you were 'a good friend.' :)

    Washign a blender is as easy as putting water and washing up liquid in it and turning it on :)

    If you like tea with just a little milk, but find the tea too hot. Make some Milk ice cubes and they'll always cool it down nicely.
    Or water ice cubes....if you wanna be average...

    Milk will ease any hunger pains as it counteracts your acid, way cheaper than heartburn tablets too, and always on hand.

    Milk can be frozen so you never run out of it for a cuppa.

    Decaf tea tastes the same as regular tea but wont constantly make you crash or crave more.

    Pouring washing up liquid into a hand dispenser is a easy way to refill your hand washer and nobody will know. Its also quite a good antibacterial. Buy LARGE washing up liquid or 2 for 1 instead of 4 euro for a hand dispenser cleaner.

    takeaway is very expensive comparing to buying groceries, dont fall for the trick that macdonalds is cheap.

    Dominoes pizza is REALLY expensive. you can 5-6 pizzas of any toppings for the same price, and in about the same time.

    Buying Plain cheese pizzas is a great base to make your own. Add whatever toppings you want to this. It saves a fortune and is really quick and easy.

    Sending an email to your colleagues in work when you stay back late just before you leave is a great subtle enough hint of how late you work. It adds up quickly if you send 1-2 a week. People think you stay back late ALOT more than you do.

    Wait 5 minutes before leaving after your boss. The embarrassing "I forgot something" accidents by your boss could bite you in the ass if you bump into him on the way back up.

    On street parking near shopping centers is always free. You dont need to park in the centers parking place for 5euro.

    Learn the alley ways in town for parking, they save you ALOT over time.

    A stich in time, should be done by a tailor. Dont waste your time learning skills that will give you sub par results, cost you the same in money buying tools and supplies, and that you will use your time on.

    Downloading movies and tv series saves you the following:
    Paying a TV license, paying subscription for channels each month, the wasted time and mind decay by watching ****ty stuff on TV, and makes you a pirate. Pirates are cool.

    Don't spend lots of money on a date, presents, effort, then blow it all at the end of your date with your GF/coveted girl by sitting around playing xbox at the very end, or by not participating in the conversations. You'll lose all the points you earned.

    Thats all i can think of right now.

    You know when the bogroll does that annoying thing of not tearing properly, when the two ply doesn't match up? One half of one ply overlaps the other? Perforations don't match?
    Serious stuff. Nasty. Proper fucks up your day.
    To right a wrongly rolled roll, separate the two layers and pull the top one back over the roll. The perforations will now match up. :cool:
    Saved my life, this.

    For a hilarious prank, do this on the desktop of a friend, then set it as the background. Then right click > View > Unclick "Show Desktop icons," sit back and watch hilarity ensue.

    You should always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

    If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because that's what really throws you into a panic.

    Lads, before making ANY decision involving a woman, have a ****, then reconsider.

    Trust me, you won't regret it.

    Genius. And not time consuming at all.

    As you approach home in your car for the last little bit of the drive roll down the front side-windows to remove condensation you've exhaled.

    This helps prevent mist forming on the inside of your car windows.


    Edit:

    Another thing. Never wipe the inside of your windscreen with your hand as it leaves it covered in the natural greasy oils on your skin and makes it harder to demist.

    For entertainment:

    When holding a formal dinner party, sew the cutlery to the table-cloth with silver thread, then watch in amusement as everyone picks up their cutlery at the same time.

    Buy the same type of TV as your neighbour, then crouch outside their window and change their channels with your remote control.

    Save money on costly cigarettes by bumming them off your friends even when you have some. The trick is lying to them about having them.
