In response to Sonic James Doom
Don't use boiling water from the kettle - use cold water from the tap. There's three reasons for this. First, cold water is still warm enough to melt the frost. Second, the heat of kettle-water will stress the glass in your windscreen as the outside layer will warm and expand much more quicly than the inner, hence increasing the risk of your windscreen shattering; cold water avoids this problem. Third, hot water will evaporate much more quickly than cold, thereby cooling the windscreen and making it more liable to refreeze.

If it's a cold and frosty morning
and your car is covered in frost, instead of spending ages scraping the windows, just put a bit of extra water in the kettle when you make tea, and then pour said boiling water over the car - much quicker, and far less effort.

Avoid being threatened with unnecessary legal action by not basing your image competition on a litigious wanky short-arsed pop singer with his head so far up his arse he hasn't seen the light since 1990.

Should change his name to Prick...

If you have got a tendency to have really elaborate and realistic nightmares, stay the hell away from those pictures of the dude with the disease that causes tree-trunk-like growths..

No I won't link you, if you're the kind of guy who enjoys being freaked out and/or throwing up, I'm sure you know where to find it anyway.

Dont go on holiday
with anyone who works for a humanist school.

as they'll be constantly judging your actions (wrongly). Don't bother trying to have a conversation as they won't actually listen to what you're saying, instead they'll invent some insulting bullshit motivation for WHY you're saying what you're saying. Invariably, come the evening, they'll be desperately trying to involve you in a half-drunken bullshit wanna-be intellectual discussion about education; spewing out cretinus statements like: "the only thing you learn in school is fear" and "if the universe is so ordered, why is it that humans are so bad to each other?" and other not to put too fine a point on it 'total shit' statements that they've regurgitated from some moronic seminar text.

by the end of the holiday you'll never want to see or speak to the cunt again.

I imagine you'd get a similar effect with born again Christians, just exchange the 'seminar text' with bible passages and 'education' with 'jesus'

mince
When you buy beef mince, flatten it as much as you can in cling wrap before you freeze it. then when you want a piece for a burger or whatnot, you can snap it off easy, and it defrosts really quickly.

US TV Show Producers...
...Struggling to come up with that killer idea for a new yoof orientated, big budget 'must-see' TV show? Why not simply rip off the premise of M. Night Shyamalan's 2000 movie 'Unbreakable', with a cast of hot teens in the role Bruce Willis originally played.

Also don't worry if you can't drag this idea out for a second season, because you can continue indefinitely by ripping off 'X Men' until the viewing figures drop.

('Heroes' is on BBC 2, Wednesdays at 9pm, other TV shows are available.)

To remove the core of a lettuce in one go
place your lettuce with the rooty core bit facing down. Lift up the lettuce and then crash it onto a surface in one swift movement, so that the core bit takes the impact. Et voila! The core is removed.

When they ring you up to sell the windows/doors/patio whatever, just remember the C word!
COUNCIL. Say "I'm with the council" and they'll terminate the call asap because they can't sell things like that to council tenants.

Announce over the tannoy that there is currently a good service on the Central Line when people are jammed in like veal and the service is pretty fucking far from good.

Difficult time on the work bogs?
There's no shame in a few "mid wipe" flushes thus preventing your work toilets being rendered unusable for the second time in one week. And then having to remain in said cubicle waiting for a clear exit lest someone notice the water is at the same level as the rim...

Not that B3tans would know much about manual labor
...what with fucking off on the computer for hours on end, but if you've been working with concrete, the best way to keep your hands from drying up and looking like a scaly old OAP's grizzled hands is to wash them with vinegar after. The acidity in the vinegar counters the alkilinty of the concrete and leaves your hands soft enough that your lady won't think a lizard's trying to feel her up.

Curry tip = free meal
If you've ordered a takeaway curry and they give you a free vegetable dish which you don't want to eat there and then, stick it in the freezer.

Later you can make a meal for two in about 10 mins, for free: Just put the frozen curry in a warm pan with about 1/3rd to 1/2 as much frozen peas and a little bit of boiling water from the kettle, and warm it through until its completely defrosted and steaming. Either cook some rice or serve it with bread or leftover nan.

coated in semen?
If, somehow, you manage to get yourself completely coated in semen, milk pretty much dissolves the stuff. Also good for washing it out of your eyes, too.

Then, of course, a blood test is in order, and possibly a visit to the police.

public loo hygiene
1) Wet a ball of loo paper in plenty of preferably hot water, and give the loo seat a quick washdown. Then dry before using. It's not going to sterilize it, but it removes major stains etc. from the previous dumper.
2) Before evacuating, put some loo roll down: it reduces the chance of splashback. Tip #1 does this as a side-benefit.

Ant problems?
Spray where they are coming in with a light coating of WD40. It's relatively odorless and doesn't leave a noticable film, and they fucking hates its, they does.
