You'd need to drink . . . 15 pints of Guinness to get the same amount of iron as two Weetabix

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

I don't know about the hearing aids eligibility, but a disabled persons railcard is better than other railcards as there are no restrictions on when it can be used, whereas other railcards are for off-peak travel only. The railcard holder can also buy a discounted ticket for an adult companion who is accompanying them.

Don't forget burying the body upright with a dead animal on top, @evtheria , or popping it into a pig trough.

Er - just for the sake of academic scientific interest, obviously . . . You know . . .SCIENCE . . . purely academic . . . <koff, koff> . . .for . . . science.

My doctor told me to drink Guinness when I was pregnant
Why didn’t he just say eat eggs or weetabix.
Luckily I didn’t become an alcoholic.

It worked in every film with animation by Ray Harryhausen, after all - these days, it's just bears instead of giant apes, dinosaurs, Krakens and mythical creatures...

Hang on...

If you're stranded in the Arctic and have to kill a polar bear for food, DON'T eat it's liver - at times it can contain so much Vitamin A that it could kill you.

You attack a polar bear and it's its liver that's going to kill you?

Good to know, thank you.

What was that all about @Butterflywing ?

Be fair!

Without its liver it would be dead and wouldn't be able to maul you.

Just use a hot water bottle.

Well considering so many people don't know what the liver looks like , I'd hedge my bets that it'll have ample time to sharpen its claws and flail you before you've opened at page 127 of Easy Polar Bear Anatomy For Novices

But will be more creased.

Placemarking as loving some of these 😅

15 pints of Guinness for breakfast??? Could I do 8 pints and one weetabix?

Nah, Take it off with no pain in the shower.

I have a Poodle who takes them and chews them up in the living room 🤷‍♀️

It has been a very pleasant few hours scrolling through this thread- really brightened up my Sunday!

Reminds me of the “Top Tips” they used to have at the back of magazines like “Take a Break”

Create a stylish feature in your lounge by hanging old CDs from the ceiling! ( Can also be attached to a bicycle basket as a handy reflector for cycling in the dark.)

Can’t afford a new pair of slippers? I fashioned these from 4 sanitary towels. ( Sanitary towels can also be stuck on your hips under your clothes to create a more curvy figure! )

Recycle old video tape by cutting lengths to create a stylish curtain for your kitchen doorway!

😂

You don't need to buy antiseptic cream, soap and water is just as good.
You don't need to buy expensive afersun either use moisturiser .
Lots of people don't realise they can get Pension Credit alot goes unclaimed.

shinynewapple22 it was a copy and paste fail which I self reported! 😁

What I wanted to say was in response to the poster who was advocating home schooling.

The grammar and punctuation used by that poster left a lot to be desired.

Suggesting formal education, rather than home delivered education, might not be such a bad idea after all.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Got this one from a thread on here:
If your curtains come down over the top of your radiator, tuck them into it instead, the heat will stay in the room instead of escaping out the window. I wasn’t sure it would work but my bedroom is definitely warmer.

My washing machine repairer guy advised me to dilute concentrated softener as it is just as effective. I split a big bottle in half ( always have two bottles handy) and top up with water. Seems to work just as well.

I thought you meant plaster on the walls (deep in a diy project at the moment) it was only when the next poster mentioned the shower that I twigged you meant a plaster on a cut.

I was wondering what kinds of house you lived in where it was an essential life skill for dc to be able to rip walls apart 🤣

Socket inserts (the plastic kind with plug prongs) bypass the safety features built into UK electrical systems, and make sockets more dangerous. They are banned in NHS and educational settings. (Why it is still legal to sell them in the UK, I have no idea.)

When I had severe pain during a smear test the nurse told me it was because I wasn’t relaxed. Turned out I had a prolapse that she hadn’t spotted. So my tip is if it’s painful or you need to raise your rear end a lot then ask about the possibility of a prolapse that isn’t symptomatic yet.
