Just tried to get to 'send us your tip' from the homepage and it isn't loading. It's an actual helpful piece of advice, as well (not something I have all the time, tbh).
Pregnant and travelling by public transport? As you get on, drop your scarf on the lap of a passenger who has their head buried in a book. When you say 'sorry' they will look up, spot the baby on board badge/bump and give you their seat. Even if they are too rubbish, it's more likely someone else will realise you need to sit down and offer you their seat.
(This happened to me the other day - I was the person with a seat and my head buried in my kindle. I did wonder whether said p/g woman had worked this out as a technique rather than actually dropping her scarf accidentally - if so, well done her.)

at Ruprekt. No, I was the unknowingly selfish moo who didn't notice the p/g woman. But at least I did give up my seat once she'd used the scarf trick.
Thanks KateS, I feel like a small child eager to be Best Brownie but I was just so impressed by the way she handled it.

I am a keen Brown Owl wanting to hear your tips! It should be fixed now so go go go go!
All of you actually, share your wisdom and you could be tip of the day!
And now I notice you've changed how you do smilies - you used to be able to do :-( as well as 
. Good grief. I remember when it were all fields round here and MN worked and gave you options.
Oh bum, so I was being grumpy without cause? Oops! I plead tiredness... that study today showing that people who have disturbed sleep perform worse at work the next day than people who are properly ill and stuff is soooo true.
Tip of the day: make sure your techie stuff is working so people can submit tips.
