#26. Partners of annoyed Nix fans: Hide any sharp objects tonight and avoid talking about the football.  Also now would not be a good time to spring the surprise trip to Sydney for your anniversary/birthday/holiday.

I'm not going to waste having bought TWO fishing rods and tackle plus a whole lot of soft bait and bonito, just so I can screw over the city council.  Tempting as that sounds.

Still need to knock over this b#stard mortgage plus house maintenance as well.

Our salt mine under Wright's Hill isn't as lucrative as you may think, thanks to all these "healthy" messages from so called medical experts. And thanks to the council (who else?) they are culling wild goats in the area too so my safari park (wild pig, goats, hedgehogs and spotties) is not going to see the light of day either.



#31 - Wellington City Council:  you missed a couple. ..

#32 - Middle Aged Feverites. Prior to heading off on a Yellow Fever Away trip, have the liver from a 22 year old transplanted into your body. Your recovery time will then be greatly reduced from the current 3-4 days!

#34 - Johnny foreigner not quite understanding you when you speak plain English?  Try SPEAKING LOUDER!  After three or four times they usually get the idea.

#37 Especially for Fortean Times - Avoid getting a sore arse when cycling around Lake Taupo, by simply placing a naan bread over your saddle. This will comfort your ride and when you return to your hotel, hey presto! A warm snack.

If South Asian cuisine is not your thing, why not try Middle Eastern/Mediterranean?  Simply replace the naan with a pita pocket filled with tasty humus and shavings of lamb.  Wrap well in gladwrap and attack those hill climbs with gusto.
Afterwards, wash the gladwrap and it is ready to use for your next tasty snack on two wheels.

#39: Avoid seasonal hayfever and the bastard runny nose by chopping down all flowering plants and concreting everything. This will also accelerate global warming which means cheaper winter power bills.

#40: Feverites; tired of getting to the end of the loaf only to find that you only have one slice left for your toaster? Simply take out the top slice when you buy it and put it in the food bank bin at the check out.

Not only will you now have a fully utilised toaster, but someone less fortunate also has something to go with their soup.

#44:  Feverites - bought too many lettuces or other perishable produce because you have taken an advertisement too literally?  Simply buy a vacuum sealing unit and a larger fridge and hey presto! Fresh lettuce on Christmas day.

If you have bought more than lettuce you could consider a vacuum freeze-dryer and rehydrating unit.

I saw an ad for Briscoes at 11pm last night that had them on special, apparently you have to rush down straight away to get the deal though. So watch out for that.

Hmm I thought she did ok. You never answered her question
Not gonna get into an argument with someone over Caravella lol. I don't rate him but not gonna spend hours working out stats to try and prove that to his missus (which I admit might not prove anything).

I just thought it funny that she would try and call me out over a really minor comment. If that is the worse she sees said about her hubby online, she is doing well.

#47: Ordered a shirt that is a size too big for you? Simply put it into the washing machine and set the temperature to high and wash. Try it on and if still too big, repeat until it is the right size.


Alternatively buy a large supply of fizzy and pies and consume until the shirt fits (this takes a bit longer).

 Itching to get your leprous beer belly out to support the lads but worried about getting hassled by security?

Simple - just get a plain white, brown, tan, black, orange, t shirt, (whatever matches your skin tone), grab a marker pen and draw a torso shape on it. Next pull you phoenix shirt over the top. When Daniel has buried the game with ten minutes to go whip off the fever T and Voila!

A perfectly legal "Shirts off for the Phoenix"

If you are rich then how about buying a designer one as modeled here by our very own Brockie?





not to be out done here one for the ladies modeled by Lucy Lui of Sherlock Holmes fame

#50: Always frustrated when you get to the end of the cheese block and can't get that last slice so end up with a thick slab?  Simply unwrap the whole block when new and cut a slice off the end.  Then wrap it and the rest of the block back up and start slicing from the other end. When you finally get to the end, hey presto!  Your last slice is waiting for you and of a useable thickness.
