    Just bicarbonate of soda. that and white vinegar cleans pretty much anything

    beyond that, always have cable ties to hand. not much they can't fix.

    A serious one and a beaut of a money saver. Cotton balls treated with WD40 are a trillion times better to light any sort of fire with than anything else

    apart from petrol, that's good

    The stainless steel cooker hood we have is a magnet for grease , realised the other week that a quick spray of WD40 is fantastic to clean it.
    WD40 must have 10 uses I can think of off the top of my head aside from lubricating moving metal parts, great stuff

    To save on the boredom of watching 3rd their football, why not have a tea party instead?

    Obviously if the Mrs cleaned the cooker hood more often than once a year it might help.

    Do you fancy a younger woman, but find yourself inconveniently married (and of course, I'm only asking a hypothetical question here)?

    Why not buy her a football club to keep her hanging around whilst you can figure out the best way to get rid of your wife.

    Genuine lol on this one

    Do you love to dance and socialise, but don't have anyone to dance and socialise with. Why not buy a football club and turn it into a disco, turning the supporters that show up every week to see success on the pitch, to fellow partygoers who get to see you cut your shapes in the millennium lounge

    Do you want to experience quintessential English customs like afternoon tea but don't have friends that share your interest, why not promote it at a league one football game in a working class part of south east London and hope that the regulars at the savoy and the Dorchester get on a south eastern train for the afternoon

    Doritos make excellent kindling for a fire too.

    They're shocking as food so I'm glad to hear there is a use for them.

    Surely with Roland around (metaphorically speaking, of course) shouldn't that be a tea dance?

    For a while now, I've had these boxers that have that gap at the bottom of the front. Time and time again, my old boy will slip out inadvertently which is really annoying because if I'm on my way to work, in my suit, it requires some sort of covert rearrangement as discreetly as possible

    Anyway, tonight I went swimming and because I was only heading straight home after, I didn't have a spare set to change into. So tonight I simply turned them inside out and it dawned on me. I just have to wear them inside out. Problem solved

    It was like an epiphany and I'm very pleased with myself

    Ok.

    Wearing my underpants for 2 days in a row instead of changing them every day has saved me a carton of detergent over the course of a year, and I have never been challenged about B.O.

    Happy now?

    Wouldn't want to let mini-Cable out.
  • Underpants should be worn four days. Right way, back to front, inside out and inside out back to front.

    When you say "these openings" you mean like this?

    Any boxer or brief that it can slip out - Ludicrous. What bloke wants that from everyday pants. Security is key

    There was a bloke on my halls corridor at Uni who told me I seemed to always have a lot of washing hanging in the corridor to dry, so he asked me how often I changed my boxers and socks. I said every day, how about you? Every four, five days he said. He thought that was completely normal.

    He also thought it was normal for men to 'milk' their own nipples, to sit (and fall asleep) between two adjacent pool tables in a bar, and to drink Baileys and lime as a regular drink though so I wouldn't trust his judgement.

    As an alternative, you could also try them back to front!

    Caddles, you need to ask for a raise, surely a top level mod like yourself should be able to afford some new boxers.

    I reckon rob is having your money away pal.

    They don't sit right

    FYI - if anyone wants to avoid this range I think I picked them up from Sainsbury's saver centre in Sydenham, so they're probably a Sainsbury's range of some sort

    I am now in no doubt who amongst us has bought a pair of the ice boxers.

    Ah, you bought them in Palace territory. That'll be why they don't work properly...
