    Ah yes,I remember it clearly,The Big Breakfast Channel 4,1990-1995 during my school years.I'd jump out of my warm wet bed to find out what the days Superhint would be.And let me tell you my standard of living has improved beyond measure because of those wonderful superhints.
    Let me share but 3 of them with you my dear After Hours board people

    Tip 1: how to drink Red Wine properly.

    Open the bottle and let it breath for 30mins or so.
    Tastes totally different from when you first open it.
    fcuk that white **** im a red now



    tip2, Cleaning Microwaves

    to clean a microwave easy place a bowl of hot water in and microwave it for couple of mins then remove and simply wipe all your past 2 months dinners away easy.

    tip 3 Frying an egg

    Most ppl make a fried egg by warming the oil up the placing the egg in and cooking it really quick.


    NO!Stop that now ya's big eejits



    Place egg in pan with cold oil and then GENTLY warm the oil up by the time the oil is hot your egg is cooked to perfection no crispy bits and just right.

    I love my superhints,and you will too.My all time favourite has to be Ants-Chalk,which you'll read about below.Its f-ant-astic!


    To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool, water. If it sinks, it is fresh - if it rises to the surface, throw it away.

    * Don't throw out that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

    * If you have a problem opening jars: Try using Latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

    * Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers. Just slice and rub raw potato on the stains and rinse with water.

    * To get rid of itch from mosquito bite apply soap to the area - instant relief.

    * Ants, ants, ants everywhere. Well, they are not supposed to cross a chalk line. So get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march - see for yourself.

    * Don't panic if your soup is too salty: Add cut raw potatoes and throw them away once they are cooked and have absorbed the salt. Your soup is saved.

    * Use air freshener to clean mirrors: It does a good job and leaves a lovely smell to the shine.

    Heres a couple of superhints for all you lovey ladies and lady boys out there

    The cost of lipstick is sometimes outrageous. Make sure you use every scrap. When the "tube" has been used down to the bottom, carefully remove what is left of the "wax", mix it with just a little petroleum jelly into a resealable container. Now you have lip gloss!

    Make your lipstick stay on longer by first brushing some talcum powder on your lips, then apply first coat of lipstick (preferably with a brush), blot, then gently brush on more talcum powder, followed by another layer of lipstick.

    When plucking eyebrows at home, place a hot flannel on your eyebrow, pull skin taught and pluck. The heat makes it easier and less painful.

    And before you cheeky rascals start speculating on what Pighead gets up to in his spare time let me say that all the above superhints come courtesy of the lovely Miss Piggy.

    And finally for all the boyos out there heres some handy Superhints to help you keep your souped up Audi TT's in Tip-Top condition

    If you get stuck in snow or on ice, don't spin the wheels as this will melt the frozen surface making the problem worse.

    Place gravel, an old sack, or twigs, etc. under the front of the driving wheels, select second gear and let the clutch in slowly with minimum acceleration.

    If you have trouble starting your car due to dampness on winter mornings, try using a hair dryer (no, not to get to work on you silly billys but to dry out the engine!)

    You could also lay a piece of old blanket or carpet under the bonnet, over the engine but you must remember to remove it before driving off as it could go up in flames with disastrous consequences. (R.I.P Uncle Jimmy) If you use this method it is best to leave the bonnet (hood) slightly open with the material hanging out to remind you to remove it.

    If windscreen wipers stop working and you happen to have a potato handy(Aside:Always carry potatoes with you wherever you go,be it on land air or sea,they're amazingly versatile) cut the potato in half and rub the face up and down the windscreen in front of the driver. For a short time, this prevents the pattern of drops which is impossible to see through. Repeat the process if travelling further.

    Now its almost time for Pighead to go home so Goodbye one and all and heres one more Superhint i'll leave you with:Housewives: When nipping out to the shops, remember to carry a stiff broom in the boot of your car. Use it to sweep the broken glass to the side of the road every time you have a minor accident.

    Your soup is saved.
    This made me laugh. When I was in Texas, people kept asking me if I was saved. I said, I'm not a bloody football. I don't require saving.

    Now they have a way to save their soup!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭chrismon


    haha great thread!
    that microwave one is brill!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Ok i'm gonna step it up a bit now by giving you superhints that will actually save your life,i expect no thanks or fees for this service as we are all Gods Children and I'm sure I shall be rewarded later on in life.Here We Go:

    Quicksand. By raising your legs slowly and laying on your back, you can't sink in quicksand

    Fellow boarders. Avoid an asymmetrical bulge in your right arm(which could lead to an overactive arm vein and ultimately death) by masturbating furiously with your left arm too.

    Flag down plane. If a search plane is overhead, do not stand up and wave at it; lay down on the ground and wave. Much more of your body is visible this way.

    Weight watchers. You've gotta lose that belly and unclog those arteries.Avoid that devilish temptation to nibble at the chocolate bar in the cupboard or fridge by not buying the F*****G thing in the first place, you fat bastards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,625 ✭✭✭✭BaZmO*


    **Tip**

    On chequed shirts give the horizontal lines "numbers" and the vertical lines "letters". This makes finding stains easier as you can give them a grid reference.

    Other way around, throw it out if it sinks. Well, it should sink but the air pocket at the tip will cause it to sit up in the water.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,414 ✭✭✭✭Trojan


    Both wrong - it should sink if it's good, but the water should be brine (salt-water) - so add in some tablesalt.

    LOL.

    I've never really understood that tip about the eggs. In fairness if you have to resort to floating eggs to decide if your eggs are ok to eat, it's probably not in your best interest to eat them.

    And as John/Lump has quite eloquently put it, eggs nowadays have best before dates on them.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 225 ✭✭CathalMc


    I think that the little air bubble inside the egg gets bigger as chemical reactions inside it produce gas as it goes off. So if you put the egg in water, sometimes they will lie on their side at the bottom, this means it is very fresh. As the gas bubble gets bigger, the egg will be more and more "vertical" (as in almost balancing on its tip on the bottom" until eventually it will float. So from this, you have a bit of a guesstimate of how fresh the eggs are. The floating eggs aren't neccessarily bad either, just on the dodgey side of good so hence the common notion to dump them at that stage. The salt in the water will make the water denser so the egg will float at an earlier stage in the decay process. So the more paranoid you are, the more salt you add.

    Jesus, has anyone seen this? It's a word for word copy of piggies original post. That's possibly the saddest thing I've ever seen... someone on that UK forum (who obviously posts/reads here) is so unimaginative and lacking in humour that they have to use someone else's post to try to gain a bit of popularity! I mean, it's not hard to find something to post about on a forum.

    Saddest man ever, you know who you are!
