Crows nest.
Sick of doing a hover when you go to the loo in public toilets? Simply rip strips of toilet paper long enough to cover the seat. This stops the cold seat jolt as well as blocks any germs.

A great way to stop the super poopy. Add a crash mat of toilet paper across the water. This way you won't get any water in your brown eye.

Reverse lottery not risky enough for you?
Instead of picking six numbers and not buying the ticket ("winning" £1 if you don't match three or more), invite all your friends (let's say 20 of them) to join a syndicate, then email them the 20 lines of numbers you claim you've bought.

This is almost guaranteed to net you £20, but with the slight risk of the mother of all kickings.

Men!
Don't buy expensive vibrators for your girlfriend! Dump her and date a girl with parkinson's instead! Then you can buy her a common or garden dildo, they're far cheaper and don't need batteries!

Broken electrical goods and lost the receipt?
A few quick steps for a guaranteed refund:

1) Go to a shop, buy exactly the same thing that is broken.

2) Spruce up the old, broken one as much as possible, trying to make it look as new.

3) Take the old one back with the new receipt, say it's broken, get a refund!

Sorted.

If you're a regular bus-traveller, invest in a sturdy pair of earplugs - or if you work somewhere noisy, steal them from your workplace.
That way, there's less chance the horrendous, piercing squeals of ill-maintained brakes or the endless screaming of purple-faced babies will cause permanent damage to your hearing.

Dara O' Briain
Let people know you've said something funny and thus prompt them to laugh by going "errrrrgh" at the end of the sentence.

And the same goes for Jo Brand when doing stand-up.

Skid Marks
For those times you are unable to wear clean undergarments, and have that inevitable accident.

Are to embarressed for helpful people to see nasty skidmarks from your week long wearing of said undergarments.

Carry a small can of spray paint secured by duct tape in your armpit, to quickly draw & spray over said skidmarks before help arrives.

Then slip into your coma, secure in the knowledge that nobody will discover your habit of wearing nasty, skidmark stained undergarments.

Got swine flu?
Don't take your tamiflu dose while stuffing your face with mushroom pate. It leaves the most crazily bizarre after-taste in the back of your throat, and you'll be throwing up for hours.

Stolen from sickipedia, but good nevertheless
Tip for breast men: when shopping in the supermarket, miss out the first aisle so as to be going against the flow.

another cleaning one
If your cooker is truly grafted, especially in the oven where the grease maybe burnt and almost waxy, then use WD40, or even a cheap brand version. It shifts nearly all grease but it does make your room smell of paint.

In the same vein as Badman's tip
Cheap furniture polish of the Mr Sheen variety is very good for getting some things clean for eBay. Electrical equipment mainly, CD cases and so on. Also, if you have a lot of old vinyl that's a bit grotty, get a cheap turntable, spray a thin film of polish onto the record and play it. All the shite comes out of the groove and leaves it looking almost new.

sorry but i actually got a sensible one
shoe polish will literally bring anything thats tatty and fucked up back to life. I mean apart from the obvious (shoes), But also wood like oak and other stuff like that gives it a glossy shine. I'd be suprised if it didnt cure fucking cancer tbh.

(I mean neutral or clear shoe polish aswell)

Dessert
If you fancy something decent for dessert, go to Waitrose at about 5:30pm. The patisserie reduce their cakes and such by quite a lot. And unlike Asda, there aren't a load of scuzzies following the person with the reducing gun about.

The other day, we got a £6 banoffee cheesecake for £1.99. Proper bananas in it too. A raspberry gateau (with raspberries in it), normally £1.20 per portion was 40p.
