Any other top/viz tips?

Tired of having to boil water every day to use for cooking pasta/rice?

Why not boil a whole batch of water at the weekend and keep it in the freezer until you need it!

Save money on batteries by only putting them into your clock when you want to know the time.

Help the police with their inquiries by popping to the morgue each day to see if you can ID any of the bodies.

Avoid long drawn out arguments by immediately punching anyone with whom you disagree.

Top tip - don't do that because all you are doing is confirming to the spammers that your email address is active and thus identifying your email address as one to send more spam to.

Just wait for GDPR to kick in Friday and in theory all the spam should stop unless you have opted in again to a companies marketing drivel.

With the world slowly being filled to the brim with terrorists blowing things up, use the power of mathematics to beat them. How so? When you're going on an airplane take your own bomb, as the law of chance means that there's a lot less chance of two bombs being on a plane than just one!

It was my birthday Sunday. Being sad I was away in hotels all week in Europe & took a couple of my cards to open from the Mrs & my Mum & Dad.

Left them up in the room, got back Monday evening, there was a 'free' bottle of wine & a fruit basket + a card wishing me happy birthday. 2 more hotels of the same chain/brand (half decent ones so we arn't talking travel lodge) during the week, tried the same trick & each time I came back to a bottle of wine & either fruit platter or a dessert from the restaurant.

Going to try it again next week when I am out & about staying at the same chain next week!

Life hack... or just plain old lying

[GetCarter]

Never give your mobile phone number to anyone (except your partner).

You never get bothered when you're out, (except by your partner of course).

Works as a lifehack for me, and keeps me sane.

Save millions and solve world starvation. Probably earn a Nobel prize.

Firstl you have to accept that everything you eat comes directly or indirectly from soil.
For the moment we'll exclude fish and sea creatures.
All the vegetables and fruit etc grows in soil. The animals you eat feed on grass which grows in soil. Soil must be pretty special stuff and full of life giving goodness. So, cut out the middle man, cut the costs and the moral dilemma of raising animals for slaughter and just eat soil and that other vital ingredient for life- water.
Brilliant or what?

Nope 100% true. Try it - IHG group Crowne Plazza or Hotel Indigo brands. Might not work here in Blighty, we will find out next week.

Oh no, I'm sure its true.. I meant from a moral perspective... lying to the hotel chain to get free stuff.
