  1. Turnitin in a massive pain in the hoop. Have to submit every essay through it as well as hand a hard copy [or 2] in to the school office. It's meant to produce an "Originality Report" that is meant to be attached to the essay, but it never generates it when you're at the computer waiting for it to do so. Sometimes takes days depending on how busy the system is. Most tutors don't seem to care and luckily I've never lost a mark for it. Yet. I always forget to submit it to Turnitin, so I'll be basking in the post-essay hand in glory, having a smoke or a cup of tea and then "TURNITIN!!" will thunder through my mind and I'll have to fanny about on their shitty website.

    In short: Fuck Turnitin.

  2. I saw the first half yesterday and the pace that Aberdeen were playing at was brilliant. Every player seemed to be looking to receive or make a pass, rather than just hoof it up to the final third. Was impressed that McArdle got those stitches, came back on the pitch and used his head twice in quick succession. While he may not always be the best of players, I think his commitment to the team is unquestionable. Maguire seems full of confidence, but needs to pass rather than take on whole defences sometimes. Aluko looked back to his tricky best. Milsom seemed to be everywhere at the same time and Smith likes getting down that flank and dosen't seem afraid of the tackle either. Didn't see the second half, but to be disappointed to draw with a team who hammered us 5-0 the last time we met says alot for the impact Brown and Knox have had. Roll on next season.

  3. Hiccups + one teaspoon of vinegar = gone.

    For real? My girlfriend suffers from quite bad bouts of hiccups, so I will suggest this to her.

    I thought the only proven way to cure them was a finger up the bum.

    Didn't get me any closer to applying the bum love to my girlfriend either :down:

  4. To get sauce/ketchup out of a glass bottle easily, don't shake it or tap the bottom. Hold it at a 45 degree angle to where you want to dispence it and lightly tap the bottle against your other arm. Works a treat.

    Another simple one and also tomato related is if you're cooking with tinned tomatoes, add a wee pinch of sugar to even out the acidy taste.

  5. Infinite pockets/backpacks.

    They connect to a parallel dimension that I'd have to invent first, so you could store all manner of shite in them without actually having to lug it around. Take your guitar/amp/drumkit to practise without having to transport it in a vehicle. Buy a months worth of shopping without requiring a shopping trolley. Knick heaps of stuff from Farmfoods without being labelled a junkie. Probably has other applications that too.

    Definitely saw something similar in a movie, canna mind which though.
