Handy Hints

Postby CK » Thu Dec 29, 2011 2:21 pm

Thought this might make a good thread, for all of those little ideas, hints and tips for stuff around the house, at work etc that can be handy things.

One I've found in the last few weeks - for those who get Advertiser/Sunday Mail home delivery, the new plastic bags the papers come in, are very handy for wrapping around the wheels of a golf buggy. Very handy, for example, if the wheels are a bit wet and muddy after a round. The wheel usually fits perfectly in there and covers them.

Add away....

They look like a gimmick but the Selley's BBQ wipes you see at the supermarket actually work!

Save time on your washing by simply dropping your worn shirts in a Salvation Army bin. You can buy back your shirts the next week for 50 cents each, and they'll all have been washed and ironed!

Not sure what model of Holdens this works with but it works with my vz holden ute. If you notice your key immobiliser beginning to go flat or is flat it can be recharged by pressing and holding down the 'unlock' button whilst the ignition is turned on. I just hold it down for 20 or 30 seconds while im driving once a week and have been using the same key for 7 years. Better than paying the $100 plus for a new key
I'm number 1, so why try harder!!

Dispose of bodies in the ocean. Natural predators do most of the work and save your corrosive acids for the clean up.

When sending an envelope, use the required destination as the "Senders" address on the back .. Don't waste money on a stamp, just let Ozzie Post "return" the envelope to it's desired destination. (I don't know if this actually works btw)

At work if we provide a client with a self addressed envelope and they don't put a stamp on it we are slugged the cost of the stamp plus a $3-$5 admin fee.

Could have actually worked had they used Sulphuric Acid instead of Hydrochloric Acid which acted as a preserving agent!

Heard of a chap one day who got sick of getting unsolicited mail and after phoning them and asking for his name to be taken off thier list and them not doing so that he told them what he would do and then took the prepaid envelope, wrapped it around an old brake drum and posted it back to them, took around 3 or so before the letters stopped coming!
