Clevs Tight.... just tight. Although the word 'canny' appears a lot?!?

If you're poor, why not insert rice crispies into your tyre treads for that expensive "gravel drive" sound as you return home.

We have a lot of these on a folder on my PC. My friend Emma and I started a comp once after claiming 'cheap trainers could be made to look like posh ones with a black marker and a Nike tick'. It was a stupid comment between 2 mates with teens that wanted designer gear we couldn't afford. 10 years on and it still has us in hysterics.

Another brilliant "parenting" one that I've found....

Oh my god, that crazy hat one made me laugh so much that I scared the cat! I’m going to try it when the jehovahs come to our house.

If you’re in a doctors surgery and they have That’s Life! then I highly recommend the column called Aren’t Men Daft? It’s the most tedious shit imaginable. ‘Here’s my Darren when he fell asleep on the couch watching football. What a joker!’ or ‘I asked my husband to put the chicken in the oven when I got home. When I returned, the oven was on, but he’d forgotten to put the chicken in! What an idiot!’

I can’t believe some people take time to write in with this shit.

Anita Saunders with the daffodil head is not 50 Grin she looks at least 70!

This thread is hilarious.

My neighbour told me that she read a tip about covering roots with mascara, she didn't realise that it only worked on dark hair and was walking around with badger head all day.

loveablether · 24/06/2018 23:08

I remember one that said put sellotape on your face so you'll be more aware when you raise your eyebrows to get out of the habit and voila- less wrinkles. Wtf.

gingerbread88 · 24/06/2018 23:08

These are hilarious, I can't stop laughing. Shower puff lady!!
I read them in those mags and wonder if these are for real

HateIsNotGood · 24/06/2018 23:09

I'm ashamed to admit but I thought the tape shoes looked rather well done - but have been guffawing quite loudly - Daff Hat Lady, brilliant.

TheDropBear · 24/06/2018 23:10

This thread is great, best one I've seen is if you want a fancy crimp on your pies just clean your dentures and then use them around the edges Grin

I very rarely truly 'lol' while reading MN...as in, literally laugh out loud, but I just did. I think if I'd been drinking tea, I would have honestly spat it across my keyboard. This just made my night. Thank you.
