 AN old television, with a toaster inside makes a cheap but
 effective "microwave oven"...for making toast.
 
 AVOID backache from bending to pick your tomatoes, by simply
 digging a 4
 foot trench alongside your plants. Step into the trench and
 you'll find your tomatoes are conveniently at chest height.
 
 
 CLUMSY? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by
 getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.
 
 DON'T waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand
 closer to the object you wish to view.
 
 SAVE time when crossing a one-way street by only looking in
 the direction of oncoming traffic.
 
 OLYMPIC athletes. Disguise the fact that you've taken
 anabolic steroids by running a bit slower. - B. Johnson,
 Canada
 
 SMOKERS. Save on matches and lighters, by simply lighting
 your next fag
 from the butt of your last one.
 
 BEFORE attempting to remove stubborn stains from a garment
 always circle
 the stain in permanent pen so that when you remove the
 garment from the
 washing machine you can easily locate the area of the stain
 and check that
 it has gone.
 
 GIVE comics that 'Pulp Fiction feel by reading the last
 frames of cartoons first, then reading the rest in a random
 order.
 
 HIGH blood pressure sufferers. Simply cut yourself and bleed
 for a while, thus reducing the pressure in your veins.
 
 HEAVY smokers. Don't throw away those filters from the end
 of your cigarettes. Save them up and within a few years
 you'll have enough to insulate your loft.
 
 MOTORISTS. Enjoy the freedom of cycling by removing your
 windscreen,
 sticking half a melon skin on you head, then jumping red
 lights and driving the wrong way up one way streets.
 
 CREATE instant designer stubble by sucking a magnet and
 dipping your
 chin in a bowl of iron fillings.
 
 CONVINCE neighbours that you have invented a 'SHRINKING'
 device by
 ruffling your hair, wearing a white laboratory coat and
 parking a white
 van or  similar vehicle outside your house for a few

 days. Then dim and flicker
 the lights in your house during the night and replace the
 van unseen, with
 a Tonka toy of the same description. Watch their faces in
 the morning!
 
 HAVE all your sh1tes at work. Not only will you save money
 on toilet paper, but you'll also be getting paid for it.
 
 OLD telephone books make ideal personal address books.
 Simply cross out the names and addresses of people you don't
 know.
 
 FOOL other drivers into thinking you have an expensive car
 phone by
 holding an old TV or video remote control up to your ear and
 occasionally
 swerving across the road and mounting the curb.
 
 LOSE weight quickly by eating raw pork and rancid tuna. I
 found that the
 subsequent food poisoning/diarrhea enabled me to lose 12
 pounds in only
 2 days.
 
 NO time for a bath? Wrap yourself in masking tape and remove
 the dirt by
 simply peeling it off.
 
 APPLY red nail polish to your nails before clipping them.
 The red nails will be much easier to spot on your bathroom
 carpet. (Unless you have a red carpet, in which case a
 contrasting polish should be selected).
 
 MOTORISTS. Pressing your 'fog lights' switch a second time
 after the fog
 has cleared will actually turn your fog lights off.
 
 A TEASPOON placed in a glass on the back seat of your car
 makes a handy
 audible gauge for road bump severity.
 
 WHEN out driving always turn left. Then, should you become
 lost, you can
 find your way home by reversing the procedure and always
 turning right.
 
 SAVE petrol by pushing your car to your destination.
 Invariably passers-by will think you've broken down and
 help.
 
 BOMB disposal experts' wives. Keep hubby on his toes by
 packing his
 lunchbox with plasticine and an old alarm clock.
 
 OLD folks. Avoid confusion between these new 'microwave'
 ovens and
 televisions by cutting out a large letter 'M' in brightly
 coloured
 paper, and sticking it to the door of the oven.
 
 TEENAGERS. Fed up with posters falling off the wall? Simply

 TEENAGERS. Fed up with posters falling off the wall? Simply
 file them in
 a filing cabinet under 'P' and you'll know exactly where to
 find them if
 you want a quick look.
 
 SAVE money on doorbell batteries by removing them and simply
 popping to
 the door every two minutes to see if anyone is there.
 
 SAVE electricity by turning off all the lights in your house
 and walking
 around wearing a miner's hat.
 
 DON'T fork out on expensive smoke alarms. simply fill
 balloons with
 water and hang them from the ceiling. Then cover the floor
 with air-filled
 balloons, each with a drawing pin stuck to the top. In the
 event of a
 fire the temperature will cause the air-filled balloons to
 rise up from
 the
 floor, and the pins will burst the water-filled balloons,
 thus
 extinguishing the fire. Probably.
 
 RE-SPRAYING your car? Cover it with 'Cling Film' first. If
 you don't
 like the new colour, simply peel it off and start again.
 
 BUY a television set exactly like your neighbours. Then
 annoy them by
 standing outside their window and changing their channel
 using your
 identical remote control.
 
 HOUSEWIVES. I find the best way to get two bottles of
 washing-up liquid
 for the price of one is by putting one in your shopping
 trolley and the
 other in your coat pocket.
 
 WHEN throwing someone a sharp instrument such as a Stanley
 knife, or
 bread knife, always throw it blade first as they invariably
 tend to turn
 whilst in the air.
 
 AVOID being wheel clamped by jacking your car up, removing
 the wheels
 and locking them safely in the boot until you return.
 
 SMELL gas? Locate the suspected leak by striking an ordinary
 match in
 every room in the house until a loud explosion reveals the
 source of the
 escaping gas.
 
 AVOID parking tickets by leaving your windscreen wipers
 turned to 'fast
 wipe' whenever you leave your car parked illegally.

 TAXI drivers. Why not pop into the garage and ask them to
 fix your
 indicators lights for you so that other motorists know where
 the f@ck
 you're going.
 
 PENSIONERS. Try sitting on a pile of encyclopedias next time
 you go for
 a drive in your car. That way you will be able to see out of
 the front
 window.
 
 SAVE the cost of installing cable TV by taping current
 editions of Top
 Of The Pops and then watching them in fifteen years' time.
 
 NEVER attempt to fasten your shoe laces in a revolving
 supermarket door.
 
 MAKE shopkeepers feel like criminals and con men by
 carefully checking
 their change and holding bank notes up to the light before
 accepting them.
 
 SAVE on charity donations by spending a pound on clothes at
 a charity
 shop, then selling them for 50p to another charity shop.
 This way you can
 give
 twice as much, at half the cost. I think.
 
 PENSIONERS. Don't forget to retire to bed before 8.00 pm so
 that you can
 get up tomorrow at the crack of dawn and go and collect your
 morning paper
 while anyone with any sense is still sound asleep in bed.
 
 PUTTING just the right amount of gin in your goldfish bowl
 makes the
 fishes' eyes bulge and causes them to swim in an amusing
 manner.
 
 WEIGH your pet by first weighing yourself, then weighing
 yourself again,
 this time carrying your pet. Deduct the first weight from
 the second to
 reveal your pet's weight.(If weighing goldfish, remember to
 make an
 allowance for the weight of the bowl and the water).
 
 BEE keepers. Keep bee hives in strawberry fields to get jam
 instead of
 honey.
 
 PRETEND your house is a pub by stubbing out cigarettes on
 the carpet,
 watering your cans of beer and kicking your wife out into
 the garden at
 11:30.
 
 KEEP monkeys out of your kitchen by hiding bananas on top of
 a wardrobe
 in your bedroom.

 PEOPLE whose surname is Toblerone should always take along
 an empty
 'Toblerone' chocolate box when attending interviews for
 office jobs.
 This would save your potential employer the expense of
 having to make a
 name
 
 triangle for your desk, and therefore increase your chances
 of getting
 the job.
 
 BEER bottle tops floated upside down in the bath, make ideal
 'dinghies'
 for spiders. Flies can also use them as aircraft carriers.
 
 EAT moderate amounts of food daily so that you do not become
 too
 overweight. Then, in the event of collapsing in a toilet
 cubicle, a
 passer-by will
 be able to drag you out through the 6 inch gap under the
 door and walls.
 
 POP a few teabags in your hot water tank and you can make a
 hot cuppa
 anytime by just turning on the tap.
 
 WHEN crossing a one-way street always look in BOTH
 directions in case a
 large, blue furniture removal lorry is reversing the wrong
 way up the
 road.
 
 DETER goldfish from having sex by throwing a small bucket of
 air over
 any that you catch in the act.
 
 AVOID embarrassment after tripping in the street by
 repeating the
 movement several times to make it seem like part of your
 normal behaviour.
 
 TRANSFORM your garden into a Euro Disney style theme park by
 charging
 your neighbour £20 to get in, £5 for an ice cream and then
 make him wait 4
 hours for a ride on your lawnmower.
 
 IF you foul the air in someone else's bathroom, disguise the
 smell by
 lighting a match and setting fire to a hand towel.
 
 DON'T write you PIN number on the back of your cash card
 because you
 won't be able to read it once you've put it in the machine.

 | He he, all these ones come from the "Viz Top Tips" compilation. Viz books are regularly given as Christmas
 presents between the males in my family. The profanisaurus
 looks good, I'm hoping for a copy of that his year.
 
 Some other top tips off the top of my head:
 
 Owners of expensive convertible cars- perform a service to
 your community by not fitting the hard top when it is windy.
 This way your car alarm will give regular "weather updates"
 when it is triggered in the night.
 
 Owners of terraced houses, convince neighours you have a
 fantastic sex life by kicking the wall rhythmically whilsty
 moaning loudly.
 
 Gentlemen, enjoy a fun game of "sex rodeo" by doing your
 missus doggy style and suddenly calling out her
 mother/sister/best friend's name.
