The best one I ever read was “ If you have bicycle grease on your hands a great way to get it off is to rub a piece of old dried cheddar over your greasy hands. It comes off a treat!”
WTAF.? It must be 25 years since I read that one and 8 have never ever forogotten it.
I had so many questions to ask the ‘top tipper’ like - does it have t9 be cheddar or will Wensleydale do? Or a bit of red lecicester? Does it work on other forms of oil/grease? And how the hell did you discover this top,tip???
Go for it OP - what have you got to loose??

Tightwad Tip: Save 89p by not buying piece of shit magazines. Steal them from the doctors instead. Here’s a photo of ‘Me Now’ stuffing That’s Life under my cardigan at the surgery.

Oh god some of these are hilarious!!

These are amazing. I don't think you were supposed to swallow toothpaste, though.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 24/06/2018 22:32

This thread is amazing. I've never even seen the magazine tips (although I recall the Viz ones)...this is gold.

The one I remember was 'if you smash a glass on the floor pick the pieces up using a slice of bread'
Whoever thought, "oh sod the sweeping brush, I'll get the warburtons out"

i copied this one from a similar thread on here years ago, because it made me laugh so much! i hope it was real.

“My husband Leonard often suffers from diarrhoea when we're on holiday so I stock up on carrier bags to use as a handy pair of incontinence pants" complete with a picture of poor Leonard naked wearing only an Argos carrier bag as a nappy.

😂

My favourite Viz top tip is “stop trick or treaters on Halloween by smashing all your own windows and writing Paedo in red paint on the front of your house”
