Rising petrol costs?
Don't go to the petrol station when your tank is empty, go when it's half full and your petrol bills will mysteriously halve.

Ants coming into your house?
Watch them to see where they path (ants will ALWAYS use the same path unless it is obstructed), then simply draw a line of chalk (ordinary blackboard chalk will do) across said path. The ants will walk up to the line and then turn back (sounds bizarre I know but utterly true - try it for yourself). The cheeky little blighters will probably search out and find a new route in, but then simply repeat the cunning chalk line barrier and hey presto - and ant free house!

Failing that, simply plant dynamite in your cellar and blow the place to smithereens. Let's see those pesky ants find a way in now!

Moving a zip , the pull tab of which has broken off
One of the zip pulls broke off my troos, and as the zip was fairly stiff I was unable to move it by simply pulling the slider.
Dental floss, threaded through the slider (through the hole normally occupied by the pull) a couple of times to make a loose loop (just a single-strand loop might be a bit too hard on the fingers and more prone to breakage) moved the slider nicely when pulled.

I should add that this wasn't the fly zip; it's one of thouse trousers that you can unzip the legs off to make them into shorts. You'd look a bit silly with lengths of dental floss dangling from your flies.

Mothers
Don't ask your offspring how old they are everytime they do something silly like getting sunburnt while passed out drunk in the garden.

Stand Up and Save Time
Stand-up comedians: With the advent of online booking, many venues now hold the names and addresses of an event's attendees on a database. If asked, they can probably provide you with a near-complete list of where each member of your audience comes from, thus saving you from having to spend the first half of your performance asking every last fucking one of them in turn.

Lunchtime Moneysaver
Don't waste money on expensive Cup-a-Soups. Instead, simply vomit into a mug and leave it to go cold on your desk, then tip it down the sink at the end of the day.

Cola again
Thawed out frozen Cola in a wok to make it drinkable again? Do not try boiling it down to a syrup in order to mix it with carbonated water from a soda-stream as you'll just end up with a foul smelling goo and your mate will not be happy when the bottom of his wok has rusted and fell apart over the following three days.

Cola
Found a can of coke at the back of the freezer? Do not saw the bottom off the can with a large kitchen knife and then thaw the ice out in a wok. You will just end up with a very flat cola flavoured liquid.

Clean conscience
We all know that violence doesn't solve anything,so the next time someone spills your pint or looks at you funny simply hold your knife VERY close to their eye and explain in a calm and precise manner how close you are to making a widow of their significant other.I find this solves almost all confrontations without resorting to barbarism.
