    If you have a bottle or jar that you can't open, put on a rubber glove and then twist it! Works like magic! :D (I think that might be an Aggie & Kim tip) :)

    Throw it at a wall, they always open that way.

    When in a lift, hold the 'door close' button and the floor you want to go to until the doors close and the lift starts moving - this bypasses all other stop requests on the way to your floor. Very handy in large tower hotels.

    To open a stubborn jar lid pour a little boiling water on the lid. It will then unscrew easily.

    Better to give, than to receive. In the case of infections only.

    Assuming its metal of course as metal expands upon heating.

    Plastic lids may melt or become deformed in boiling water

    ya know when ya get outta the shower an the mirror is all steamed up.. Rub a bar of soap all over it then wipe off with tissue or a dry towel, it won't steam up again for awhile..


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,137 ✭✭✭Balfie


    also with the jar, if ya can't open it, stab the lid with a sharp knife it releases the pressure and it opens easy. Its what I always do..

    There's a rule? Explain the rule?

    not a rule as much as a saying!
    "more than a handful is a waste!"
    There's a beginning part to that too but I can't remember it....

    Want to hurt someone? Don't get in a fight - simply use telekinesis to burn their house down while they sleep in it.

    Save time by skipping Chuck Stone's sh*t jokes.

    A mate of mine said to me "I am convinced my brother is stealing my expensive aftershave". I suggested he replace it with acid and if the brother comes in with his neck melted off then his theory is correct.

    If your bread gets dry in the bread bin, keep it in a bucket of water.

    Take all the buttons off your garments before you put them in the washing machine. It stops the irritiating clacking noise the buttons make when they hit off the glass part of the door.

    To save precious seconds writing a shopping list, bring your bin with you to the supermarket so you can see what you've run out of.

    To save wear and tear on carpets, roll them up and keep them in the garage.
