Stand on the toilet roll to ovalise it before putting it on the dispenser . It will make it harder to spin and stop your kids using lots more paper than they need .
A bit like that petrol one - if you suffer from static electricity getting out of your car, hold on to the edge of the roof as you put your feet on the floor and then you ground out without getting a static shock.
Tyres/valves. Is not convinced. I start opposite the valve when I removing as it's usually the slackest bit but start at the valve when fitting but push the valve as far into the rim bed as a it'll go without losing it. I do that cos I want the lumpy bit at the valve base to seat properly inside the conditional comment tyre beads. No levers used for fitting of course.
So I'm 50/50. 🙂
Right, wee trick people and rice-cooking ninjas in particular - how do you cook the thin rice noodles that go in Singapore noodles without them turning
You don't really cook them do you? Just pour over boiling water for a few minutes till tender, then add to the dish. (Less time if adding to something else hot, a minute more if adding to the plate, then pouring soup/sauce/stir fry over.)
Tyres - start at the valve when either fitting or moving. The valve takes up space in the tyre bead that you'll need if the tyres are tight. If you're doing it right you'll not need levers at all.
If you can't remember which way your pedal threads go....With the bike standing upright, put the pedal spanner on the pedal. If you turn the spanner towards the back of the bike, you'll loosen it. Remember "Back Off" and you'll be reet
Or just remember "right is right & left is left" (hand thread)!
A single sheet of loo roll placed atop the water just prior to dropping the kids off at the pool - Prevents a nasty brown mark below the water line when a particularly large dreadnought 'runs aground'.
Someone on here described that as "lilies on the pond" 😆
I incorporate the deployment of loo roll down the lavvy with a quick wipe round of the toilet seat, also reduces the likelihood of splashback when launching a torpedo!

Aaah! Neptunes Kiss!
Nobeerinfridge - correct, though I thought that was common knowledge
I like the ovalising toilet roll for kids idea, that's good
For cooking noodles like that you can just stand them in water to hydrate them, then 'cook'/heat them in whatever they're going with
Neptunes kiss, brilliant!
I've no doubt that it is common knowledge Ben, it's just that I very rarely ever get to type the word 'dreadnought'. It's the simple things..

Shamelessly nicked from thegreatape of this parish.
Fluffy Rice - cover rice with exactly double amount of water plus a tbs. boil for seven minutes. Do not stir. After 7 minutes take of heat and put lid on for another 7 minutes. Do not stir. After 7 minutes has passed rice should be cooked/steamed. Stir through. No need to strain.
Edit - just seen earlier rice post! 🙄
Ok. Something I picked up last week. When checking a u-bend because sink is blocked make sure you don't empty contents of the sink after you have removed said u-bend! 😳
