    Putting a bit of cooking oil into a pan of boiling pasta to stop it sticking, that's plain rubbish. You want to stop it sticking? Stir it a few times.

    Any more?

    Rub a candle along a metal drawer runner to help it run smoothly.

    A Vulcan neck pinch never knocks anyone out for me, just gets them really annoyed, especially at work meetings.

    To save money, go on a week's package holiday but stay up every single night so you'll get a fortnight's holiday for the price of a week......wrecked so I was. :rolleyes:

    Using WD40 to lubricate things.

    WD40 is a water-displacer and not a lubricant. Its a great way to ruin locks, gum up your bike chain or make your hinges filthy.

    Put your wet iphone in the microwave to dry it out. :D

    What was that strip of rubber that used to hang at the back of cars that was meant to stop travel sickness by reducing static electricity? Do they still sell them?

    Load of rubbish.

    Drinking hot whiskey in the winter heats you up.

    No, it doesn't, it opens up your pores and makes you colder. You're drunk, not warm, ya silly eejit!

    Its a lubricant and a penetrating oil too. Look it up.
