Adding vinegar to the end of the tomato ketchup bottle...
Using matches to space the tiles when tiling the bathroom...
Putting an egg in the car radiator when it was leaking...
Putting girls hair in rags at night...
Making a fray bentos pie feed four of you...
Rubbing doc leaves on nettle stings...

I still do that! Never works though. I have been tidying the farmhouse garden for the weekend and been going through a lot of nettles and thus making use of the doc leaves, it does work but you really have to crush up the leaves not just spit on them. |

I had a similar experience. I was learning to ride my bike without the stablisers on and had just got the hang of it - I was going along fast and steady and my mum shouted out 'that's brilliant - don't stop'. Being an obediant child I didn't stop, even when the fence was right in front of me with a big growth of nettles in front of it  |

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Putting an egg in the car radiator when it was leaking...
Your going to have to explain this to me. I have been creating all sorts of ideas / images and can't come up with a sensible one. Frying an egg on a car bonet / engine I have heard of. Is it cracked into it to somehow seal the leak  ? |

  Only classy ones though...........ok I confess I LOVE Lladro, probably you young uns wont get it but Lladro is Spanish porcelain and the detail, work and love that go into these pieces is breathtaking. They are all hand made and the craftmen have to be trained for 10 years before they get on the floor. I dont have the money to buy what I would like but I can honestly say I get real pleasure just looking at those I have. |

My mum used to send me to the shops for a packet of Dr Whites and "make sure he puts it in a bag" only found out a couple of years ago what it was.
