Life Tricks

Inside or outside of the peel?

Inside - the smushy messy side. They say go over it with window cleaner to get the banana smush off, but I didn't bother and it worked.

Ever accidently crapped your pants at a friend's place? Getting rid of the evidence can be hard, especially if there's nothing in the toilet like a magazine that you can use to cover it up once you are done in there. The trick is to dispose of your undies in the cistern. They are usually pretty easy to get off and no one ever looks in there. Drop your jocks in there, freeball it and you are home free

Ever moved house and the thought of cleaning it send shivers up your spine?

Simply torch it. You get out of cleaning and the landlord gets a new house!

Win-Win!

I have fond memories of telling everyone that I'd shat all over the floor and that I needed some sort of scraping implement to get the remnant dried faeces out of the carpet. It turns out that although I did crap my pants I didn't get any on the floor;that was my mate's dogs. I picked up about 10 pieces of dog crap off the floor with my bare hands in a drunken panic. Everyone else found it hilarious.

I guess the moral of the story is that if you shit on your mate's floor when you've had a few too many beers just blame it on the dogs, because chances are they were the ones that did it anyway.

Want your fence painted? Go to Bunnings/Dulux and buy pressure pack can and tag your fence with obscene language. The council will paint your fence.

I read the first two 'fence's as 'face' the first time. I was very confused as to why anyone would want that for a second.

1. peel
2. boil - salted water (to get salt in)
3. strain
to get crunchy -
4. put back in pot and put the lid on... toss the boiled potatoes around for a bit so they all scuff up
5. roast in a tray with oil... the scuffing is what makes them crunchy

4.5 add some olive oil and salt (I also add a teaspoon of garlic from the jar) prior to shaking the pot.

The council will gladly paint that too! Your rates at work.

I love it how 'life tricks' threads always eventually turn into 'how to steal and rip people off' threads.

IMO as long as it is not done to an individual or family business- it's all good.

How is it all good? These big corporations are paying the taxes, which help fund anyone you know who is on welfare or a pension. Just because years ago a person went balls out to put everything on the line on a business and it has become successful to the extent of a Coles or Woolworths doesn't make it right to steal from the company.

Half of a mac charger. It comes apart.

So in your opinion, how successful does a family business need to become before it becomes "all good" to steal from them?

It's just something that is used to excuse pathetic behaviour so they dont need to face up to the fact that they're a shallow person with no moral fibre.

Listen to the bleeding hearts....

Coopers is a family business. I'd never steal from them

Loving all these posts and suggestions.

Shall keep on looking at these posts.

Consider this thread subbed.

Lose weight quickly by eating raw pork or rancid tuna. The subsequent food poisoning/diarrhoea will enable you to lose up to 5 kilos in only 2 days.

Those fad diets never work. Put the weight straight back when you come off them.

To prevent tears when cutting onions simply wrap glad wrap around your head like sunglasses. Works a treat although you do look a little bit like a performance enhanced tour de France cyclist, sans Lycra.

If and when the tears do come, run the cold tap and just put your nose next to the running water for about 5 seconds, breathing in the 'fumes' from the water.

Tears gone.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

When drinking beer/softies from a can, make a little indent at the top, about where your bottom lip goes.

Beer pours out without bubbling and losing its fizz so much and it also makes it easy to find your beer if you've put it down in a group situation.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

If the home button on your iphone/ipod isnt working very well (or at all), insert a plug into the bottom, hold it firmly in and lift it up (towards the screen) gently and ever so slightly until you hear a barely audible click, should fix it up.

Not sure if mentioned, but to open the lid of a jar (or anything that is giving you grief), just wrap an elastic band around the lid then turn. Gives you heaps more grip.
