I was just thinking... everyone seems to know a useful
tip, so it would be interesting to post them up here.

1. If you get candle wax in your clothes, put brown paper
over it and iron it with a low-heat iron. The wax will melt
and going into the paper.

Any others?

SCI-FI GEEKS! Pretend you're being w*nked off by a robot by masturbating with a pair of pliers.

Clean your microwave. Put a small amount of washing up liquid in a bowl of water and microwave on full power for a minute.

Stop shower dirt build up by using a window squeegee after use.

This is useful but quite boring really.

to make bananas last longer, cover the bit at the top (where they're all joined) with tin foil. It stops the oxygen entering.

When you have a splinter in your skin, nab it with glue. Once dried, peel it off. The splinter usually comes out with it.

Don't go out to sea in a rowing boat with a big hole in the bottom.

Keep your spring onions in a glass of water, they last longer and keep on growing.

I keep my spring onions in the salad draw in the fridge, on a couple of layers of kitchen towel, they last for ages.

I bet they don't keep growing though

They're eaten, before they have time to grow too much.

at this time of the year I buy the ones with the large bulbs.

Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand closer to the object you wish to view.

celery can also be kept on a jar of water to keep it firm and fresh

instead of using your ipod to listen to music simply hum your favorite tune, to listen to another think of another tune to hum

That's interesting- will remember that.

Want to stop maggots breeding in your rubbish bin? Coat the outside of the
bin with vinegar, which'll repel flies.

Look both ways when you cross the road.
Save money on expensive carpets by buying a remnant and cutting two bits into shoe shapes, then superglue them to your shoes.

Arcana · 13/09/14 - 23:13

Make sure you tie your shoelaces with a balanced, neat, self-tightening reef knot rather than a lop-sided and loose granny knot.

If the bows don't sit neatly across your shoes, you're most likely using a granny knot. I was taught the granny knot way and had decades of constantly re-tying my shoelaces.

Dirty windows?

Ask in DS forums, then get distracted by other threads. They'll keep a while longer.

Thanks for that tip, I shall give it a go. Maggots make me feel ill!

Can't light a candle with a lighter (I.e. A Yankee jar candle)? Light a bit of spaghetti and light the wick that way (only applies if you don't have one of them long lighter things).

Toothpaste is great for cleaning enamel baths and porcelain sinks.

Never eat yellow snow.

To avoid burning when frying onions, steam them first.

Don't date men whose eyebrows join. It means they are werewolves!
