Out in town...
...need to fart but you're wearing headphones so are afraid that others will hear, but you won't know if it was noisy or not?

Don't worry about it, just let rip, then laugh to yourself.

Works for me.

When in a busy nightclub (the busier the better)
Go to the bar. Wave a £20 note while waiting to be served. Keep waving it until someone goes to serve you. When they are getting you the drink, swap the twenty in your hand for a tenner, then give the bar person the ten instead.

About 4 times out of 5 they'll give you the change for a twenty. Isn't psychology fun?

Computer chair
Honestly

get a good computer chair.

I am boggled at the amount of people with nice leather couches, comfortable beanbags and shitty computer chairs. I mean ones made of black plastic and scratchy or slidy fabric that lean back exactly three degrees, the ones that we see everywhere and think "Oh, I've got a computer, I must get a computer chair that makes me rearrange my body every five minutes". Why not just drag your easy chair over in front of the computer and re-angle the monitor?

Me personally, I went to the thrift shop and laid down five dollars for a bright orange and green easy chair that swivels and rocks. Best chair I ever had.

Works every time
Got something stuck in your eye? Pull the offending eye's lid over the bottom one. This causes the eye to water. Then, simply blow your nose.

Since your tear ducts connect to your nasal passage, whatever was stuck in your eye will be washed out when you blow. Remember to make sure your eyelid is pulled out as far as you can for maximum effectiveness.

Trust me

If your car has been hit from behind and your back lights are broken,
remove the sharp, broken stubs of the bulbs by 'screwing' a small potato onto the stub and then removing the bulb in the normal manner.

when in newcastle...
...travel on the Metro in pairs, only buy one ticket between the two of you. If stopped by an inspector tell him/her you lost your ticket. When asked to produce it at a later date take your friends. Also, never pay more than 1.30 for your ticket, inspectors only ever check the date.

Seriously, works every time. Probably because you're trying so hard not to vomit you forget to hiccup.

Superglue
Superglue bonds with moisture, so wet one of the surfaces to be joined (with water or spit) and put glue on the other and voila - an instant join.

limescale
Lots of dirty-looking limescale in your toilet under the water line?

Fill it with vinegar - one of the cheap half-litre bottles from the supermarket should do it (two if you're really filthy). Leave it as long as you can, preferably overnight. And flush.

Clean, isn't it? (Your bathroom will smell of fish and chips, though.)

Free money
I've found it pays to keep your eyes peeled if you're anywhere near where people are paying in cash (like supermarket queues or pubs). I regularly pick up cash from these places, you can spot banknotes from some distance but people often walk straight past without noticing. It's especially good in very crowded bars (like at gigs or club nights). I've left clubs before with more money than I arrived with.

having trouble putting a duvet cover on by yourself?
Turn the cover inside-out. Put your arms right inside it, and grasp the two far corners from the inside. Then grab the two top corners of the duvet, and shake your arms like a bastard.

Hey Presto! The cover 'unrolls' itself over the duvet to end up the right way out, with you still holding the top corners.

Cover changed in one minute flat.
