Charlie Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Got any great tips for day to day life? Post them all in here. Absolutely anything at all; best way to get things done? the ultimate wiping technique? how to hang clothes quickly? Here's mine, prepare to be amazed. Ever get annoyed that cling film and tin foil always fall out of their boxes? Well there are tabs, built into the box to stop that happening!
Daft Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Always eat Jaffa Cakes upside down and in one go. Any other way and you're doing it wrong.
Ashley Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 When going around corners with a lamppost (or other similar structure) take a slight run up and jump and grab and let the momentum turn the corner for you. Makes life more fun.
Konfucius Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 If the batteries in a device die you can sometimes get some more juice out of them if you change their order.
Kirkatronics Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Never cook bacon, or any other fried goods, naked.
The Lillster Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) I before E except after C. Note: Doesn't work for all words. Sorry for the off topic question, but it's past 12am and was wondering if there are any drunk people in here? I'm not drunk, if you're wondering. Edited March 28, 2010 by The Lillster
Iun Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 If the batteries in a device die you can sometimes get some more juice out of them if you change their order. You can also make your device work longer if you get new batteries!
Kirkatronics Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Konfucius should start all his posts with "Konfucius say..".
Daft Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 If you think Avatar is a good film, you should read a book (That isn't Harry Potter or Twilight).
Goafer Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) Fat women make crap snipers. Although Wasps are an anagram of Swaps, they have little interest in Pokemon cards. A little bit of vaseline in the seat of your pants allows you to sit down a little bit faster, enabling you to get a bit more work done at the computer. Despite looking like pineapple, smelling like pineapple and having the consistancy of pineapple, urinal cubes do not taste like pineapple. Whilst at work, walking around with a clipboard makes people think you're working. You could also use this slacking time to write a novella. Edited March 28, 2010 by Goafer
Paj! Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Konfucius should start all his posts with "Konfucius say..". Confucious does his crossword with a pen. M Y TIP OF THE DAY: Never get so attached to a poem that you forget truth that lacks lyricism.
Debug Mode Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 If you're lacking escapism during your day, pick up the Daily Star. You'l feel like you're reading the news in Bizarro World.
Charlie Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 If you poop at work you can actually earn hundreds of pounds a year just to be on the toilet! http://www.workpoop.com/
Cube Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 I before E except after C. In ancient society, a foreign scientist seized their athiest neighboring species. The portein in it's veins was sufficient for him.
Eenuh Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 I before E except after C. Sorry for the off topic question, but it's past 12am and was wandering if there are any drunk people in here? I'm not drunk, if you're wandering. Wandering: if your body/legs do all the work (= walking around). Wondering: if your brain does all the work (= thinking about stuff).
Ashley Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Linguistically bitch slapped by someone for whom English is a second language.
Daft Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 If there's something strange in your neighborhood. Who ya gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS
Konfucius Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Konfucius should start all his posts with "Konfucius say..". hahaha, that totally cracked me up; brilliant.
Jon Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) Never text someone you might like when drunk, even if it works there's a good chance you'll never remember it in the morning. More practical, to get rid of hiccups; hold your breath and count to 60. Works everytime. As some have asked and then mysteriously dissapeared, if you hiccup during the count, start again.

So essentially you're just biding your time until they stop anyway. You could just as easily say "if you have hiccups do jumping jacks 100 times, if you hiccup during start again". I've found the palm massage tends to work. Did it to one of Jayseven's or Dan's (I forget whose) friend's when I was in Sheffield time before last. She was a bit drunk so found it absolutely amazing.

No, biding your time could easily take 15 mins or so why wait so long when it can fixed straight in a minute. Simply take a deep breath before startng the count. It's never taken me 15 minutes, 5 at the most.
Paj! Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 JonSt is right, it's how to get rid of them. You have to engage the hiccups in breathe-based battle...sometimes they'll land a hit, but just persist and you'll emerge victorious.

I often find it takes longer after doing something physical but it's still far shorter than biding one's time.
