Oh BUSTED or what



OK back on track now here at "Top Tip"TM HQ


Imagine if Lillies have stained your favorite knitwear or blouse as you "accidentally *" brushed by them ( It happens ...)


Take a roll of a "well know adhesive tape" and holding the end reverse wrap it around your hand forming a sticky side out mitten


Then dab the "stained" area gently lifting the pesky pollen off with the tape


Bravo.... job done



Mop brow and fight the urge to drink a large measure of Gin





W**F



*But not a "Tiger Woods accidentally-on-purpose accident "

If your pet snake dosen't want to eat the defrosted mouse you have given him, dont bother trying again as he is probably preparing to shed his skin which can take some time. Once shed then try feeding him again as he is likely to be very hungry by then. Saves on wasting mice and/or a call to the vet!

Woof, perhaps you could have put this post in your Top Tips thread which you have sadly neglected of late. It had potential<

Do you have a "Rice supply" business ?


Or just a wee obsession with it

Dog owners.


Instead of carrying on with the vain spectacle of cleaning up after your pooch so as to allow the less vigilant pedestrians to avoid the embarressment of treading in dog mess, simply start adding British Rail (or whatever PFI hoodlum now precides) luminous paint to their food. This simple addition will draw the preventative attention of the hapless 'turd trampler', in that the offending article be visible in the dark.


Think 'cats eyes'.

Now is..


The time to look around if you're trading in or up, Christmas is a perfect time to pick up a discarded husband or wife or even

the odd widow.


House prices have dropped or stabilised & remortgages to pay the old him/ her off are hard to get. This can be deferred or even "side-stepped" so NOW's the time to splash out or trade in


Some do come with excess baggage which can effect their later performance,or even unsavory bathroom habits. Don't be put off though, seize the moment.

Beans, beans, beans. Nourishing, filling, versatile and very cheap. The cheapest way to buy them is dried. You then soak the required quantity overnight and boil then next day. Black eye beans and lentils (lentils don't need pre-soaking) are the quickest cookers, needing only about 30 minutes. They can then be used in casseroles, soups, pasta sauces, curries, chilli, pasties, salads - you name it!

mmmm... funnily enough, I ate a pile of steaming haricot beans with a delicious leg of duck and a succulent Toulouse sausage for my lunch.

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
