The trap also work with strong tea and with vinegar.

I have a fleece whose zipper insertion pin broke a while back so I couldn't zip it up. I don't have a sewing machine at hand and I never remembered to bring it to have the zipper replaced. I looked up innumerable websites and videos, but all said that if the insertion pin was broken the zipper couldn't be fixed and would have to be replaced. But then, I came across this one:



It works!!!

First I tried without glue. When I realised that it would actually work pretty well, I made some modifications, as the new "pin", being a flat piece of plastic, wouldn't be kept in place in the pin box. So, first I took a matchstick (the closest thing in shape to the original pin), then I pared it down a bit to make sure it'd fit loosely into the slider. Then I took a small rectangular piece of stiff plastic (I used the side of a blister of paracetamol tablets, instead of the straw), I placed the match in the middle and I marked its sides (1), then I folded the plastic sides upwards along the lines I had just marked. I then marked the sides of the match again, and folded those inwardly (2). For the last bit, I marked both sides of the plastic again to half the width of the match (3), then folded those outwardly so that when I wrapped the lot around the match the two sides of the plastic would encase it and meet in the middle. I then cut the lot to correspond to the length and width of the original insertion pin and plastic "wings". Once that was done, I tested it again on the slider to make sure nothing needed to be fine tuned, then I glued the lot to the zipper and the jacket with fabric glue (which is washing machine resistant). It was a bit fidgety to get it to fit properly, but it works perfectly.

If they start digging looking for a corpse, they'll stop when they realise it's a dog that's buried there and won't think of going deeper.

Also, re the tyre, don't forget to remove the time stamp from the picture, and to take it from different angles so you don't accidentally re-use the same photo with the same person.

Several times in life I've cold called a company to confirm my interview time. I didn't have one prior to my call, but in their confusion and inability to even find my resume I've managed to secure an interview about four out of five times. Twice I've gotten the job.

Look up the name of the HR manager before calling, if they ask that tell them you didn't catch their name but you think it was John something, and that he said he works in the office of *Head of HR name*. Also check in advance if they call it HR or Personnel.
