solicitors don't dispense free advice why should you?

Several do in SP&L. Or rather, free guidance. Some kind souls there go a step further and write letters pro bono for PHers.

Stricly (according to Google translate, it should be...

'Omnes in excrementum, nisi profundum variat'

Still, Vincis vos aliquid amittere

"Irrumabo vos et pedicabo vos."

If I ever own a large company, I hope to have this in fine script at the bottom of every sheet of the company writing paper.

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

Maybe, but people DO remember if you don't buy a drink

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...

Cook them for longer, it thickens and is so much nicer than just warmed up beans.

Ohhhhh you've done it now. Double amount of smashes for her!

When tying shoelaces, start with 'right over left' and they will never undo themselves.

Does that actually work? My laces are always undoing themselves!

Yep. Start with 'right over left'. Then make the loop with the right hand bit for the second part. You are effectively tying a reef knot. Do it the other way and it is a 'granny knot' which as you have experienced easily falls apart.

For even more security, wrap the lace around the loop twice before pulling it through.

For the loop, with the bit that started on the right, or the that is now on the right?

Brilliant, this has changed my life

Now I need to re-learn to tie my shoes this way without looking like a complete mong

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.

This is a game changer.

I should write a book.

Oh, hang on...

It could get picked up and made into a Hollywood script, a bit like the one about a bloke writhing about in a wheelchair doing impossible physics, except it's you and a tin of beans.

May we expect a 'Which mower' topic soon?

Always check the availability of toilet paper before committing.

An absolute must!

Another one in relation to this is to always have some baby wipes close to hand for final wipe duties.

Never go anywhere without:

Toilet paper.
Corkscrew.
Condoms.

Flushed baby wipes block drains.

I remember hearing about that at school but I forgot it completely

That will go on my business cards, I think.

Anyway... either you'd need to be horrendously inefficient with proper toilet paper or have a poor diet to even contemplate such a thing.

Don't walk round the near side of a corner, as if someone else does it at the other side you'll walk into them.
