A thread for genuinely helpful tips, not the Viz ones. BEHAVE NETTIE.


Going on a flight with your other half or a friend, if you're choosing your seats online then one of you choose the ailse seat and the other the window. Unless the flights full then a seat between two strangers is far less likely to be taken, so you usualy get an empty seat in your row. If it is taken most people will willingly swap for an aisle or window seat so you still get to sit together.


Keep 'em coming.

Stop working for monolithic faceless corporations aimed at making institutional shareholders rich and actually start a business of your own. Hard work yes, but it buys you priceless freedom and time if it works out. Choose when and how long to take holidays/lie in and you'll never get that Monday morning feeling again.


And don't wank with headphones on when the missus is out or you may surprise your Polish electrician.

If you know you are about to experience projectile vomiting (and you do, always, know) don't attempt to block it with your hand.


You will only succeed in spattering people/objects/vistas to your left and right (*see "dangers of thumbing your own hose") as well as risking temporary blindness, upchuck-immolation and possible choking.


Let it fly and look your victim square in the eye as you do. It's only fair.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
