Top Tips (part 6)

If there's one thing the world needs more of, it's silly advice of a non-serious nature. Coincidentally, that's exactly what this week's blog post features, as this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog collects another round-up of lighthearted top tips.

Editor's note: "Charles, that's the wrong type of 'tip'."
Charles: "Oops, sorry!"

To get the ball rolling, here's a tip for mischievous drivers...

1) Fool car passengers into thinking you've kidnapped a helpful person by placing your satnav in the boot.




2) Lazy people. Call your dog 'Ten Miles', then you can honestly tell people you walked 'Ten Miles' today.




3) Here's a serious tip explaining how I managed to get an old frying pan looking as good as new (picture below):

Before and after.

i) First, I mixed hot water with baking soda and vinegar.

ii) Then I added two capfuls of Coca Cola, a dishwashing tablet, and half a lemon.

iii) Next, I gave it a stir for forty seconds, then placed the frying pan in the solution for half an hour.

iv) Finally, I brushed it with a toothbrush, then rinsed it and it still looked the same, so in the end I just gave up and went and bought a new frying pan.

4) Trick your neighbours into thinking your house is twice as high as theirs by stamping twice on each stair when you go upstairs.

"Ah! So she's called Charlotte!"

5) If you go on a date and you forget your date's name, then take her to Starbucks!

Editor's comment: "Or better still, improve your memory."




6) Make it look like photos of you were taken with a selfie stick by poking the photographer with a broom.

"Here's one I made earlier."

7) Always buy a Toblerone with your shopping in case they don't have any dividers at the checkout.




8) No bin? No problem. Flip a stool upside down and place a plastic bag over the four corners.

9) Here's a bit of advice for you...

Advi.




10) To round things off, here are some wise words on the subject of diet...

Eat like your life depends on it...

...because it does!

If you're after more useful advice, then I suggest you look elsewhere, as all the advice you can find here is silly* and not intended to be taken seriously.

* With the exception of tip 10.
