If you stare at something you dropped on the ground eventually someone will pick it up for you

Re: Handy Tips.

Teach children/grandchildren the correct way to swear by making them wallpaper the lounge (especially around the window). It worked with mine.

If you have waited for ages at a crowded bar being ignored by the bar staff then, at last, they come to serve you tell them irately to "SHOVE OFF"! You don't get a drink but it's a very satisfying feeling.

Re: Handy Tips.

Shoppers: Take one grape to the till. It won't register on the low-tech, insensitive scales so you will get it for free. Repeat this procedure 100 times or so and you have yourself a free bunch of grapes.

Cyclists: Avoid getting a sore behind by simply placing a naan bread over your saddle. This will comfort your ride and when you return home, hey presto! A warm snack.

Re: Handy Tips.

Never read the instructions for a new kettle. It shows a lack of intelligence if you do. Only read the instructions when you have blown the kettle up.

If you enjoy intricate or delicate jobs, try doing them with boxing gloves on thus adding to your enjoyment by making the task take infinitely longer.

Book a ticket to see the Spice Girls to avoid an evening of Victoria Beckham.
