When eating a fried egg sandwich place an extra slice of buttered bread on the plate. This will catch the escaping yolk from the sandwich and leave you with an extra sandwich afterwards.

If you wake up in the middle of the night and can hear snoring it's possible that someone may have mistakenly got in your bed.
This happened to me once in a run down bed sit, where the previous occupant "came home".I'm alright JackComment

Dunno if this one still works, but if you need a hotel in Heathrow for an early flight next morning, go to the arrivals hall and book one there. They'll charge you a few quid which is deductable from the hotel bill, and they'll give a good price.Originally posted by Spacecadet View Post
The last time I did this was many years ago, but I could usually get a double room with breakfast thrown in for a lower price than a plain single room without breakfast booked in any other way.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

'Knight in shining armour' was a serious insult in 15c as telling a knight he was one was implying he was a coward who never actually fought (hence his armour was still shiny).Comment

Sometimes, getting a lid off can be impossible.
If its a small lid, wrap it in a rubber glove, or similar, then put it in the door near a hinge. get someone to close the door over, till the lid is gripped, then twist the body.
If it is a big lid, get a wooden spoon or similar, and stab the end of the handle down hard on the middle of the lid. it should loosen it enough for you to open the thing

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

What kind of lid? The last lid I opened was on Golden Syrup when I was nipper and that flipped off.Comment

Just tapping the kid on the outside loosens it too. Hot water works well as well.
Personally, I get the wife to do it*
