Because honestly, most of them are the most ridiculous, waste of time crap or something so obvious you'd have to be not to do that already.

I've only read 1 that was any use to me.

I mean, I didn't cut the nasty bit. I didn't paste the nasty bit. Whatever. [Slinks away and stops trying to gain attention of proper longstanding MNers ]

In my defence, I did cut the actual nasty bit.

Porcupine · 02/05/2007 13:37

on no basis what so ever

fleacircus · 02/05/2007 13:37

Oh, I'm sorry, didn't know that. Am a negligible newbie anyway so please excuse poor etiquette. Wont do it again.

fleacircus · 02/05/2007 13:36

Good grief, was so caught up in top tips I missed all that. Hunker really? On what basis?

Porcupine · 02/05/2007 13:36

is it not bad MN etiquette to take what one had posted on another thread and paste it on a different one?

I like Hunker too, a lot. If Connie is Hunker it's her having a wind up rather than being serious.

My best friend and I used to try to out do each other with ridiculous 'tips' to send to the magazines at our local takeaway. Our personal favourite was 'Collect the ends of bars of soap in an old pop sock. Hey presto - soap on a rope!'

The magazine actually published 'I turn my cream slice on its side to cut it in half, so the cream doesn't come spurting out of the sides.' I'm sure that changed many readers' lives for the better. The MN tips are inspirational by comparison.

ThomCat · 02/05/2007 13:34

Let's lure her out with a weaning thread and see!

ThomCat · 02/05/2007 13:33

LOL WT - it's probably been done 12 times already as it is a top tip!

AnnabelCaramel - LOL! wtf??????

AnnabelCaramel · 02/05/2007 13:33

NO? Really?

Porcupine · 02/05/2007 13:32

AnnabelCaramel · 02/05/2007 13:32

I just meant that some people take things a bit literally sometimes!

WanderingTrolley · 02/05/2007 13:32

Some of us are very literal.
