ca_gere Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Inspired by slutbags' tip in another thread, thought it might be a good idea to start a top tips thread.Using sparkling water is ace for getting a few more days out of flowersthe only one I can think of right now is for anyone who uses a video camera and a fluid head tripod. To get a really smooth pan, instead of moving the handle with your hand directly, put a rubber band round it and pull with your finger. The rubber band acts as a shock absorber eliminating any jerky hand movements.Viz ones are most definitely welcome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain burrito Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 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.

neepheid Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Tarnished metal objects can be cleaned in a bath of diet coke - cheap 19p a bottle stuff does fine. I cleaned a bass bridge a while back in this way. It went from this:to this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Keep your tins upside down in your kitchen cupboards. When you come to open them (right way up) the contents just drop out straight away - no more shaking/scraping those last few beans/whatever out of the bottom.Hiccups + one teaspoon of vinegar = gone.

HateEvent Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 When restringing a guitar with a Floyd Rose (recessed) tremolo, put a 9V battery into a sock and place that into the recess, this should keep the bridge flush with the top (for Original Floyd Roses at least, the cavity is the perfect depth). This makes restringing and adjustments much easier as the bridge won't continually move through tension addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Stu Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 My top discovery this week was figuring how to shut up everyone on xboxlive. It's hidden in your profile settings but by god it is so worth it to get away from angry adolescent twats and singing 5 year olds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonz Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 If you're at the Cineworld Union Square (beach might be the same - never tried) and there's a huge queue for tickets go to the bar instead. The staff can sell you tickets from the till there, works for Unlimited cards too and they have a stash of 3d glasses if you need some. Also, beer.
