When out drinking...
look for the person who has clearly had too much, is pissing everyone off, and is going to regret the night. If you can't see them, its you - time to ease up.

Safe(ish) sex
1. When fucking with a condom and it's OK, nothing special, as safer sex tends to be, but suddenly it feels great, don't just carry on, it means your condom has broken. Withdraw, clean, don another party hat, then try again.

2. With reference to the advice above - if your condom slips off and disappears into the ether, it's polite to inform the lady, especially if you might ever see her again. She might not be happy, but will be way more pissed off when the quack fishes your festering scumbag out of her cloying clout in 3 weeks time.

3. If a woman you aren't in a serious relationship with says to you "You don't need to use one of those", meaning condoms, you most certainly DO need to use one.

4. It's not funny to ping the used scumbags at cyclists you pass on your way home - you may end up trapped in traffic ahead. Not to mention the fact you've just given them a bag of your DNA, your prank may get you into deep water.

Trek nerd time (ironically)

Save embarrassment with homeopathic porn:
Simply cut and paste one pixel from your favourite naughty lady picture into a blank frame. Hit your screen with a copy of the bible, then take one pixel from the resulting picture and place it into another blank frame.

Do this a couple of hundred times and by the time you have finished you will, due to the memory of pixels, be faced with an image so stupendously horn inducing you'll be spunking your strides so heartily you'll need to be rehydrated by saline drip.

Plus if your missus checks out the images you've saved, she won't be able to see a thing.

Happy homeo-eroticism !

Dull tip I use
When you're in the office, try to touch each piece of paper a minimum of times. If it's not important, throw it away immediately. If it's a task, add it to your to-do list and file/throw the original away. If it's something short and easy to complete, do it now, and file/throw the original away.

Same for e-mail: don't use your e-mail as a to-do list. Transfer the info to your to-do list and then you need never open the e-mail again.

Told you it was dull.

If you're feeling too lazy to move
Count down from 10 (and get up on 0, obviously).

A coalition piece of advice
"If you have to ask yourself 'Should I be doing this/ is this a good idea?' the answer is probably no. So don't."

This was invented by myself and some friends while drunk, and is now being used as the main tenet of a fictional religion in the novel I'm writing.

Look where you're going.
Or, more accurately, before you leap.

You know those old style dustbins? The ones with wooden slats running vertically with metal bands around them? Before you jump over that small hedge to prove how high a 12 year old can jump, make sure there isn't one of these bins hiding behind said hedge before you do. They can hurt. Having to get your dad help pull you out of one isn't much fun either. Especially when he can't because he's laughing too hard.

A bit of advice I wish I'd been given earlier.
