Inhaling it is also a silly idea.

Although the resulting sugar high can be very entertaining for the onlookers.

My (male) best friend once snorted tabasco. It made his eyes bloodshot, apart from nearly halting respiration altogether. He also tried snorting coffee when he needed to stay up all night to finish an essay (pre-Red-Bull student life...ah....takes me back....!!) but a) this doesn't really work b) it is Absolutely Disgusting afterwards....

After someone makes a delicious looking and tasting cake, it is best not to drop a plastic jug on it. It can spoil the decoration.

(I wasn't even using the plastic jug - I opened the cupboard overhead and it bounced from its space on the shelf.)

Also, when making spaghetti bolognaise, and planning on using spaghetti, it is best not to put rice in the saucepan. It wastes time.

(I could have done rice instead but it never tastes as nice.)

When shaking the milk to mix the cream up do ensure the lid is on tightly. Just saying, that's all...

Don't hold an oven tray recently recovered from the oven with your bare hand. It's a bit ouchy.

When you can't find where you put your glasses last night, it is best to put on the light before getting out of the bed.

And when you have just told your four year old grandson to be careful of the two pairs of glasses you have put down on the bed, it is better not to then kneel on them yourself.......

(Good thing I had taken a spare pair of driving glasses with me - the reading ones were repairable)

Cestina's dolls houses - Where has the week gone?

Don't do what I just watched someone do, namely put a saucepan on the hob, leave it a moment, and then lay your palm flat on the bottom of it to check how hot it was...

(No students were injured in the making of this public service announcement. I just winced when he did it.)

Don't pick up a capillary tube you've been holding in a bunsen burner flame or hold your nails in said flame.
Unbelievably not a single one of us got out of Chemistry unscathed today - start as you mean to go on!

When playing the them from 'Bananas in Pajamas' to toddler son who is in the bath, do not allow said son to then dunk your phone .... I now have no volume on my phone!

When eating supper of peanut butter on toast and runny marmalade on toast, do not take it into the bathroom where SLOC is relaxing in a hot bath and throw it all over him. In my defence I tripped on the towel

Oh, Jools, how kind of you!

Thank you Finn - I thought I was being generous allowing him to share my toast. For some strange reason he didn't quite see it that way.

Count how many times you press the delete button on the sky-plus remote... or the programme you were about to watch will disappear as well as the ones that are finished with

Don't think that you can get away with wearing jeans with the hole in the bum while on duty. Apparently people did notice.

When planning camping events and lamenting your own lack of ability to stay warm overnight don't ask your, male, friends "Why are all the men I know so hot in bed?"

You can always feel free to share them
