Baked beans.

If you open the tin at the top and then tip the contents into a pan, the sauce will come out first followed by most of the beans, leaving some in the bottom of the tin which need vigourously shaking out or scraping out with a spoon.

If, however, you open the tin at the bottom, everything comes out neatly with one shake.

If you buy the tins with a ring-pull on the top, store them upside down in the cupboard and you'll get the same effect.

A mate went all wobbly around a round-about, right in front of 2 coppers on bikes.

He went in way too hot, stood the Ducati up and went all agricultural but upright, bits of grass everywhere. The coppers came over to see that he was alright and said "Yep, you did the right thing" and wandered off.
Funny thing for them to say, he might have avoided coming off but going grass-tracking seems like the worse option when he could have leaned the bike a bit more and smoothly throttled through the wobble. However, as anyone who has ever ridden a motorcycle at pace will tell you, panic can cause the best laid plans to go awry, not to mention it's hard to practice a target fixation scenario without actually cornering faster than you are comfortable with, hence it's important to drill these mantras in the mind so you can utilise them when you fk something up rather than panicking, stiffening up and having an off.

Do not keep any two or more of KY Jelly, deep heat and/or superglue in the same draw.
On a similar note, from personal experience, if you've been chopping chilli's DO NOT scratch your nuts, even if you have washed your hands.
Or get frisky with the missus...
"Wash" your hands with cooking oil before the soap, that will remove the very vast majority of the capsaicin and render you relatively safe from burning nuts.

I'm going to tell the missus that, and claim I thought of it.

My missus complains Heinz has too much 'juice', so I smash the tin into her face. Maybe I could simply try draining the juice off...

Don't buy people drinks in a pub, they won't remember

Don't lend money, just don't.

Don't be too 'useful' or advertise the fact. If you can do diy/ fix cars or own a transit van, you will attract freeloaders like flies, not only that you will be expected to dispense advice to save people money, solicitors don't dispense free advice why should you?

I disagree, I really enjoy helping people save money by fixing their cars.
