Cars parked outside are a godsend. Under the cover of night, grab a bucket, and a short length of hose - and syphon some of that sweet fuel. A few litres per car, and you're good to go!

Use both side of toilet paper, be careful when applying Toilet water the lid doesn't fall.
Dial the number you want and then hang up so the other persons rings you.
Work for the Dole easier than any paid work.

Old newspapers are very good for cleaning windows, makes them shine.
Mix brick dust or grindings with vinegar to make a thin paste for cleaning all types of metal and more.

Newspaper can also be used as toilet paper, in fact that may be the Herald Sun's best use.

Thanks Gav I'll save a fortune in tissues.

Yes indeed. I can remember sheets of paper hanging from a piece of string in the toilet area. One place, I'll kindly not mention where as it was a longtime ago, had little better than a hole in the ground and bring your own paper - remembering it now I doubt if much has changed. They dared to call it a hotel.

I suppose some people take things all for granted now, we were tougher then.

Visit friends and relatives at meal times, and stay until they give in and feed you.

Don't peel anything, eat the lot.

Well that just ruined my morning mango.

start a ponzi scheme

 

[investorpaul]

Dont follow Kevin Rudds advice, he doesn't know what hes doing.

Try and get a job if your a dole blugger - try contributing to the economy for once.

Times have changed.... there's hardly any cheese on the pizza now, let alone spill over into the box.

The last time we bought a pizza from the only national outlet locally, uncooked, had to take it back and told so what. Lost a customer there sunshine. Took it home and half an hour though it was cooked was still rubbish.

Ooh, you just reminded me. As a young fella, I delivered pizza's for a while. If hungry, one could give the box a Hoola hoop shake, then open the lid and pick up anything fallen off into the box. Fair game really.
Not enough toppings to fall off these days though I reckon.
Scratch that idea. ??

Might take up dumpster diving again.
I have noticed that many supermarkets now use dirty great big sealed bins that you can't get into though.
Might have to investigate further.

Probably would have to lick the botton of the box to get a taste these days.
We do have a pretty good wood fired pizza outlet down the hill, but we have now just about given up on take-aways. It's called weight reduction.
I did mention awhile back, I wish to see my toes without having to lean forward.?
