    Tried the coke menu thing on 2 coke machines in limerick last year. While i got into the menu, you could not get free stuff :(

    Up Down Left Right (A & Start Together) - Sonic The Hedghog - Level Select

    If you need condoms email a few companies asking for free samples. Make up some excuse why you need more than 2 or 3. Eg - College Project or Volunteer Organisation...

    Ive gotten about 400 - 500 free condoms over the last 4 years or so...

    ######

    Stick small items in with your loose veg when youre weighing them, then goto the self service checkouts... Youre still paying for them (kinda) so they're cheaper :D

    Also if youre allowed to weigh the veg etc yourself, stick your finger under the scales, or hold the bag up a bit so its lighter...

    only realised the other day that When megavideo tells you that you can't watch anymore megavideo minutes just plug out your modem and plug it back in and reload the page and continue watching from where it stopped.

    better than waiting 40 mins.

    If you ever go to Londan go into differant casino's sign-up as a member and have a little walk around, the following day call back to the same casino's, as a lot of them will give you £20 free betting chips, go to the roulette table and bet £10 on red £10 on black and as long as zero doesn't come up walk out with £20.

    Why couldn't you just cash out the £20 in the first place?

    number 3, how to unlock a chain door. How on earth would you be inside to put the elastic band on?

    If the casino was busy and what you were doing went unnoticed fair enough, but the way it works is you get a card which you give to the croupier he/she then stops up play and gives your card to a manager who gives you your free chips. Not sure, but id imagine if you went straight to the cash out desk you could get into hassel.
    Also when using the free chips you shouldn't be so obvious as to bet straight on both red and black but bet so as to cover all ther numbers an sit down for a couple of spins of the table before you walk to the cash out desk.

    Some of those are interesting!

    My favorite :
    A bit dodgy but...
    When you lose you phone or iPod charger don't buy another one. Instead go to your local hotel and say you think you left it there sometime you stayed over. Chargers are one of the most common items left behind bu hotel guests. Most hotels have a big bin full of every sort of charger in their "lost and found"

    That sounds plausible and likely to work.

    Another good one...:D
    Measure you hand from start of palm to tip of middle finger.Remember the length. Then in future you can use your hand to measure items and get a good gauge of their size thus never requiring a ruler again!
    Would save ya a small fortune ,that would.:)

    Here's how I beat that system...

    LIESSSSSSS

    We're both from Galway, only casinos are in Salthill and use the same change machines.

    So unless you did it in Spain(or somewhere else) on holidays it doesn't work, which wasn't unexpected since the machines didn't change since the changeover.
