Booger storage Tip
Store all the boogers and nail clippings you collect during a long film in your belly button for later disposal so they don't get lost all over the couch.

If you instruct applicants to complete an application form and return it by e-mail, please provide it in something other than PDF. In the time it took me to convert and fiddle with the formatting in Word, I could have come to your office in person and told you my life history.

great on for hiccups!
I was always given various old wives tale ways of getting rid of hiccups and always after the second time, they no longer worked, I guess it's the "magic" you think they have that makes them work those first two times! So when I was given this tip for getting rid of hiccups, I was impressed to find that it worked, but also that it continues to work a year after I was told about it!!

So here it is,

first, suck in a big breath and hold it, whilst you're doing that, hold your radial pulse.
second, after 10 seconds, suck in another big breath WITHOUT exhaling and hold for as long as you can, then exhale very slowly!!

sounds ridiculous, but it really works!!! try it!!

Be aware that in the future you will not be able to call your boss a "boring old cunt" so take the opportunity to do so whilst you can do so without fear of losing your job.

Your future self will thank you for it.

MJ
Popstar who you're too young to remember and whose music you only know through student cheese-nights has died?

Why not download the best of from iTunes and play it loudly to the office all day, frequently commenting on 'what a great song this is!' as though you've never heard it before, then complain that someone's 'showing no respect' when they ask you to turn it off, as though it's like your fucking brother died or something.

Bint.

Bulb broken in the mens' loos?
Gentlemen, just because you know where everything is and how to use it all, that does not mean the absence of light won't make it any harder. Instead of feeling smug about it and going for it, do it sitting down instead. And when you've finished, do put the seat back up in case the next man is not aware of this tip.

When you've not smoked for 4 years.
Don't reach for the fags two days after splitting up with your girlfriend of 4.5yrs, it's the road to ruin and one so easily joined.

Has anyone tried one of those 'e' cigarettes? They're a fuck load cheaper than number 1 in the long term. and want to know if they're worth the outlay.

Save a fortune on household cleaning products and help the environment at the same time.
All your cleaning product can be made from the same few products. I have listed the prices that are current to Sainsburies:

Lemon juice (squeezey bottle) - £0.32p
Bicarb of soda - £0.75p
Distilled vinegar 1l (not malt) - £1.38p
Table salt - £0.42
Tea tree oil - £4.13p
Total - £7.00p

These will last a about two months, you will also need a couple of left over spray bottle from your original cleaners.

Surfaces, sinks, toilets and hobs: 1/3 vinegar, about three table spoons of lemon juice (or a good squirt), two teaspoons of teatree oil and fill the rest up with water (shake well before use).
This will clean all surfaces around the house including the kitchen, hobs, sinks and toilets.
When cleaning toilets and sinks spray and then lightly sprinkle (I use an icing sugar shaker) bicarbonate of soda over the bowl or sinks and then give a good scrub. This method also shine taps and household metal up a treat. The lemon makes the it smell nice and acts as a bleach, the vinegar disinfects as does the tea tree oil but gives a great shine. The foaming action of the bicarb lifts dirt and works with the lemon to smell nice and fresh.

Windows and mirrors: Use the same mixture on the hob, if you have stubborn stain pour half/half salt and bicarb and make a paste with the spray. That works as a great scourer.

For windows and mirrors use a 50/50 vinegar and water mix and use old newspaper not a cloth (although this tends to have issues with Windows Vista but what doesn't). The paper soaks up the water and stops streaking while the vinegar shines. Most window and mirror cleaners are vinegar based anyway.

Wood and non carpeted floors: Use half a cup of vinegar in half a bucket of warm water.

There was many more uses for these products including carpet stain removers and air freshers just to name two but those are the basics.

So if you assume these will last you two months, that's your household cleaning for 88p a week assuming that you clean your house everyday. If you only do it once a week then we're talking 12p a week.

Want to know if you're intelligent or incomptent?
A former lecturer of mine (who was actually a bit of a cunt) told me that the difference between an intelligent person and an average joe was thus.

The average joe keeps pressing the button at the crossing thinking it'll speed up the traffic stopping process.

The intelligent person realises that one press will suffice.

Take heed.

Ultimate BLT morning after sarnie courtesy of Lidls, feed 4 for under a fiver:
2 packs Milton Gate high quality no added water smoky bacon (lean or streaky as preferred) currently 99p each

Fuse Box
If you think a fuse in your fuse box has blown and can see damn well it has, don't drive to Wicks to get more fuse wire and then spend half an hour trying to fit the pissing stuff and have it still not work, then ringing the maintenance guy, all the while the food in your freezer is defrosting!
Just check if you have another, yes another, fuse box in your house that may have a circuit breaker in that could be the cause of the problem. Dumb fucking rented flat!

Genuine gardening top tip.
If, like me you can't be buggered to spend hours digging up the tap-roots of the weeds in your garden, to garuntee eliminating the pesky fuckers there's a simple solution.
Cut the top off the plant and pour spirit vinegar onto cut stem.This will fuck with the plants P.H balance and swiftly kill it,right down to the root.
As vinegar is cheaper than bottled water this will save you a fortune over buying 'Weed-fucker' or 'Lawn-Max' or similar over-priced shite and is better for the environment.
You might like to spend the cash you saved on Scotch and fags.Just an idea.

For those thinking of upgrading to Windows Vista...
...DON'T. Stick with XP, 98, your old Amstrad, your ZX spectrum, your slide rule, whatever. If you want a stressful life then get a crack habit, or get convicted of a sex offence and ask to be put in the main wing at the Scrubbs. Or cut off your limbs with a chainsaw. None of those things can be any worse than running Vista.

Imagine Basil Fawlty with Tourette's. That's me after I've been running Vista for an hour. In short, Vista is floody, bucking SHITE!

I'm a reasonably competent user and my PC is well up to spec to run this turd of an OS. God knows what it's like for people just starting out.

This is written in anger after a 10 minute job became 4 hours after being interrupted by freezes, unexpected errors (though I should expect them by now) and other general hassles. Of course, I'll delete this post if I ever get to like Vista. That'll be around the time they make me England captain. Or I go out and buy a Mac.
