Single men: Avoid wasting hard-earned cash on dating sites and convince people you have a girlfriend by waiting outside Topshop, looking at your watch and occasionally glancing inside.

You're not serious?!!!

Don't you think you're stealing reading opportunities from the poor?

Don't worry, it's normal. That's one of the main ways the public lending libraries select their new stock: requests from the public.

The chances are that if YOU want a book, so does someone else. SO if the request sounds plausible, you stand a good chance of them ordering it.

Also: ask them when they do their sale of old books. Right bargains, they can be.

Also, ask if the very expensive text book you want is available on Inter Library Loan. It might cot you a fiver for a month's loan of a £500 book.

Libraries are there for using: you've already paid for it in your tax.

And don't get me started on cars, those new Labour cash generators. Get a bike and save loads on tax, petrol etc etc.

And make it a company bike and put the batteries, helmet, refletive gear, etc through the books too.

Booze: Rent a van with your mates and get back loads of good booze from France 2 or 3 times a year, which you can store in your cellar.

binge drink over the next 2 weeks. Trust me, it's what everyone else does!

Save on bog roll by only pooing during work time.

Standard practice in local government.

Plus stealing the loo rolls.

... crawl about on your hands and knees in your local busy highstreet on a Saturday and hunt around for dropped coins, using a magnifying glass to assist. You'll be surprised at how much you'll accumulate and it'll be great fun!

circa 1985, I crashed on a mate's floor in Norf London. Wandered round to the tube station: no wallet, no change, no nuffink.

I found enough loose change on the floor round the station (plus about 100 yards) to pay my tube fare to West London.

(Let's see you do that with an Oyster card!)
