Crap Tips

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

'Things to do with...plastic cd cases. Save lots and paint them with letters for a giant scrabble board'

This handy tip was in last weeks Pick me Up magazine. Why!? and What!?

Share some please, real or made up. I need cheering up.

havent the time to read through so apologies if this is a repeat. The one i remember is

save all the small bits left at the end of a bar of soap, when you have enough put them in the foot of an old pair of tights, tie and cut then use as a new bar of soap.

Eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I'm very disturbed at the high proportion of completely mental tips sent in by people from Leicestershire

Just remembered another one, from a book about improving your marriage/relationship; they had a list of suggestions for fun activities to do together with your partner, and one of the suggestions was 'Bake a pie and take it to the police station.'

Are you sure it wasn't a pan of special brownies?

'Bake a pie and take it to the police station.'

Well I've got no plans for tomorrow morning, shall I try it? Though maybe best not given my previous interactions with the local boys in blue.

Just had a quick look at Pick Me Up in our local shop (for research purposes only obv!) aand headline was "Escalator ripped my trousers off"

Brilliant, I hope I can get a copy today.

my firm favourites are 'cured by a crane' and 'in love with an orange man'

I have just text DP and asked him to buy TAB and PMU (oh look at me with my acronyms).

I imagine he is very confused. I nearly brained him once when he bougth the Mail on Sunday instead of the Sunday Times.

My favourite ever EVER from Viz:

No need to disturb your other half when turning lights on for night time trips to the loo. Simply stretch a length of string from your bedpost to the toilet pan. Straddle, walk slowly, and when your genitals touch porcelain, hey presto, you've found the toilet.

This is in a book i have about funny misprints - it's from Jackie Magazine:

"Here is a list of tips to keep your hair in the best condition: Cut it out, paste it on a piece of cardboard and hang it in your bathroom"

Rofling at Pick Me Up's 'Come on in' page - Here's one I made earlier

Phil Drury's giant ball is quite magnificent.

'It is made entirely of the cellotape off cardboard boxes from my work place and has taken about 2 months to make!'

OOh, that Phil is clearly proud of his ball -he's sent it in twice!

'Who knows how big it'll get?'

And I thought my nans tip of 'always buy the same tights. Then when you get a ladder in one leg, cut that leg off, and wear them with another one legged pair' was crap..

CMOT- MY nan told me that one too!

I was about to say that 'Who knows how big it will get'? I genuinely laughed for about 15 minutes when I saw that. Good news here, the local newsagent had pick me up. Will wait until I've taken DS to nursery and then sit down and have a read.

I've just remembered another funny one, 'love it' magazine has little suggestions over all the articles 'read it in the bath' 'read it when waiting for the kettle to boil' etc. Why?

'who knows when you will be sacked from Sainsburys for spending all your work time making a GIANT BALL OF SELLOTAPE AND RIPPED UP CARDBOARD?'

Is the new PMU out then? The issue I have is the selltape ball man.
I think I might have found a new and exciting hobby!

these photos are just wrong

I hope Nitah Goolaup's relatives aren't expecting gold and jewels for Christmas this year...

Love the fact it says "Come On IN"

Erm, no thanks.

PMSL Notah Goolaup's dolls.

BoF or anyone else with this weeks issue, how funny are the photos on the tips page?

Psycho Psychics

A whole new world of joy has opened up.

Plant spirits wtf?

Orbs?

Cat sleeping in a basket?

No, they are not orbs, your camera is crap, and cats normally like sleeping in baskets.

Brilliant! 'Who says animals don't have souls?' Who indeed?
