Accidental and weird
Ash your cigarette into a full full can of coke. It makes a sound like it's bubbling and fizzing... and doesn't stop for ages.

Make yourself feel more popular

Stopping Spam
Simply reply to the spammer with a friendly message along the lines of 'please remove me from your mailing list as your product does not interest me.' Since 90% of all spam is sent by just 3 people you do not have to do this many times to massively reduce your spam reception.

Get away with mass murder
Before setting out to single handedly wipe out your rival Triad gang with a machete, paint the ends of your fingers with clear (don't want to look like a girl) nail polish. That way when forensics turn up they'll be none of your finger prints left at the scene. Just seen it in 'Election 2'.

Pissing off bar patrons
When a customer orders a round and asks for Guinness first, inconviently forget the first drink and serve all other lagers and bitters before asking "Urrrrr, what was the other?"

Thanks to Whitbread and their slow staff for reminding me of this on Friday.

As the last item on your round, order one more pint of Guinness than there are Guinness taps on the bar.

How to piss people off.
First, download the Gremlin's theme tune onto your phone.

Secondly, play it every time someone stops talking, or when nothing is happening.

Great in cinemas, and many other places.

One to remember...
If someone finds a 2 litre pop bottle with the bottom cut off in your kitchen, and they don't immediately work out what its really for... and wouldnt be impressed if they did.

Tell them its a mini-greenhouse that you made on the cheap for your blossoming "tomato" plants on the window sill. :D

Want a REALLY clean face?
I give good advice and people should listen to me more, especially my idiot flatmate. For example:

ME: A, what are you using to clean your face?
A: Savlon.
ME: You do realise you're meant to dilute that stuff..?
A: Nah, it's not strong enough diluted.
ME: I'm pretty sure that's not good for your skin.
A: Well my skin's fine and I use it twice a day.
ME: Okay.

The next day she walked into the kitchen with the reddest face I've ever seen, complaining that *something* appears to have given her a rash. I have never had to make so much effort not to laugh!

Gay? Not getting any?
Get yourself arrested - apparently there's plenty of action to be had in a prison shower.

Using soap, rather than shower gel, also improves your chances. If you're clumsy, that is

Save money on washing bed sheets.
Simply buy Febreeze, and spray the sheets before you go out if you are expecting to get laid. This also works for underwear, jeans and T'shirts.

If your little brother is doing his 'oh so important' GCSE coursework...
Access the autocorrect function in Word, and replace "Analysis" with "Anal Sex". 9 times out of 10 they won't notice until they've handed it in.

When you cook spaghetti,
hold the spaghetti with one hand and stand it in the centre of the water. Twist the spaghetti with the other hand and let go. The spaghetti will fall fairly evenly around the pan and as it heats up, will gradually get sucked into the water.

It's quite spooky to watch it do this, but then again, I'm very easily amused.

Shaving tip
I read in Neil Gaiman's blog yesterday the tip that if you want a clean shave, then rub your stubble with hair conditioner, leave for a couple of minutes and then shave.

I tried it last night, and it really works.

Hiccups
If someone in your group has hiccups, challenge them to hiccup. Demand that they hiccup that instant. Start mocking and taunting them that they can't hiccup.

Peer pressure kills hiccups.

True story.

Spam and Nigerian scam e-mails
reply to the scam e-mails giving the details of various Debt recovery agents as a contact (or other similiar scum bag companies you have a particular dislike for) - all the better if you can give the mobile number/ main number urging them to " phone me now!"

(set up a separate email account for the replies, as the spam traffic will increase 300%, once you respond)

then sit back and enjoy as the Debt recovery company has to field calls from countless Nigerian Princes, ex presidents etc
