    A high precentage of people on boards are the same, try way to hard to be funny, i personally believe the "thanks" button caused it all

    I hated the thanks thing when I joined first - but I can be just as big a thanks whore as the next guy these days.

    I now will wait until at least 6/7 posters have contributed before saying my piece on any new threads henceforth.

    Gents, convince people you have a Girlfriend by standing outside A-Wear with shopping bags in both hands whilst intermittently glancing over your shoulder into the store, sighing loudly and shaking your head.

    Always put your underware on,yellow to the front and brown to the back.

    Not much use to the gays that one.

    RAPPERS: Avoid having to say 'know what I'm sayin' all the time by actually
    speaking clearly in the first place.

    GANGLAND HARDMEN: Need to dispose of a body? Simply parcel it up and post it to yourself via DHL. You'll never see it again.

    Attention cinema goers: Please have consideration for pirate DVD viewers by having a pee before the film starts.

    Avoid being seen as a racist by saying "I'm not a racist but..." prior to making racist comments.

    Cheer yourself up by watching your wedding video in reverse. You'll love the bit where you give her back the ring, walk back up the aisle, get into a car and **** off.

    Employers, avoid hiring unlucky people by immediately tossing half the CVs into the bin.

    Tired of a long and expensive commute to work?
    Simply start working as the train driver, dramatically reducing both the length and cost of your commute!

    Not getting as many thanks as you'd like?
    Hide your resentment by pretending that you don't care about thanks at all and think it's ruining After Hours.
    Don't forget to tell everyone about it though.

    Tired of not winning the lottery?
    Simply buy millions of tickets. Though expensive, the money you're more than likely to win will more than compensate, still leaving you with a healthy profit.

    Sick of burglaries bringing down the value of the houses in your area?
    Simply move into an area where lots of burglars live. They will never burgle any homes in the area as they wouldn't want their homes to be devalued.

    So much advice here about laundry and yet, not the most useful tip, i.e. throw suspect laundry at the wall. If it sticks, wait a few days for all traces of moisture to evaporate. Then retest. Only wear laundry which passed this test. I call it the “Irish Referendum / Re-referendum Test”.

    Time saving tip gleaned from several female colleagues:
    • Don’t waste time with soap in the morning - just spray on MORE deodorant.
    • Don’t waste time with soap when going out for the night - just spray on MORE perfume.

    Time saving tip gleaned from several French females:
    • Don’t waste time with soap.

    Time saving tip gleaned from several male colleagues:
    • What’s soap?
    • Don’t waste time cleaning shoes - just buy multi-coloured trainers.
    • Don’t waste time brushing teeth - just swish with first pint.

    Water down your fairy liquid - no one needs that much suds

    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.

    Plus the shoelace might come in handy if you get lucky and want to try a spot of auto-erotic asphyxiation.

    Ah yes! I used to leave a hangover platter beside my bed when I came home drunk. Usualy painkillers water and fruit!

    You should also neck a couple of pints of water when you get home but make sure to take a nice long piss before bed! This will reduce your hangover the next morning, but you'll still have to suffer a bit...

    If you are going away for a few days fill your bath with water, and put in a cup of washing powder.
    When you come back you will have a clean bath (and dirty water.)

    OK, make sure you have a bath with an overflow so that a dripping tap does not flood the house.

    If your out of shampoo / conditioner and have something on you need to be presentable then use use an egg instead.

    Banana sandwiches are really good and simple to make. Peel a banana and wrap a slice of bread around it, if your feeling fancy and want a banana roll then when cutting the roll leave one end uncut to keep the banana firmly in place.

    Bannana rolls are a really cheap and readily available breakfast when travelling.

    Be wide of unusually big bananas they may be plantains which are really hard and need to be cooked.

    If your out of polish use the inside of a banana skin instead and wipe with a cloth afterwards.
