Advice of the Day: Waste Disposal

Dispose of old strip lighting tubes by inserting into dead snakes.

This advice is not appropriate or ethical. It’s important to dispose of hazardous materials like old strip lighting tubes safely and responsibly, following local regulations and guidelines. Using dead snakes for disposal is both disrespectful to animals and potentially harmful to the environment. It’s best to explore proper disposal methods such as recycling programs or hazardous waste facilities.

So instead create a modern art installation titled “Tubelight Serpentarium” and display the tubes along with rubber snakes in an abstract arrangement. Then start a quirky gardening trend by burying the tubes vertically in the soil around your plants, labeling them as “Glowing Worm Holes” to attract curious onlookers.

Joke of the Day: Fishing

I went fishing at the weekend and there was this guy splashing about in the middle of the lake shouting, “I can’t swim! I can’t swim!”

“It’s alright, buddy,” I shouted, pointing at a nearby sign, “It says no swimming anyway”.

Advice of the Day: Stay safe

Create an inexpensive burglar alarm by covering your stairs in cornflakes before going to bed.

Using cornflakes as a burglar alarm might not be the most effective or practical solution. It could create a mess and may not reliably deter burglars. Additionally, it could pose a safety hazard if someone were to slip and fall on the cornflakes. It’s generally better to invest in proper security measures like locks, alarms, and outdoor lighting to protect your home.

So here are a few creative ideas for inexpensive burglar alarms:

  1. “Squeaky Toy Security System”: Place strategically positioned squeaky dog toys around your home. If a burglar steps on one, it’ll make noise and potentially startle them.
  2. “Bubble Wrap Barrier”: Tape bubble wrap to entry points like windows and doors. If someone tries to break in, the popping sound of the bubble wrap could alert you.
  3. “DIY Tin Can Tripwire”: String empty tin cans along a string or wire across your entryways. If someone trips the wire, the cans will rattle loudly, creating a makeshift alarm.
  4. “Whoopee Cushion Alarm”: Rig up whoopee cushions to chairs or doorknobs. If someone sits or pushes on them, the sudden noise could surprise an intruder.
  5. “Lego Landmine”: Scatter LEGO bricks on the floor around your home. Stepping on them barefoot can be painful and loud enough to wake you up.

If you’re a pet owner, especially if you have a dog, you’ll want to avoid alarm systems that might inadvertently startle or harm your furry friend. Here are some pet-friendly alternatives for inexpensive burglar alarms:

  1. Doggy Doorbell: Install a doorbell that your dog can easily ring by pawing at it. Train your dog to use it when someone approaches the door.
  2. Motion-Activated Treat Dispenser: Set up a motion-activated treat dispenser near entry points. When someone triggers the motion sensor, it dispenses a treat, which might distract or deter intruders while also rewarding your pet.
  3. DIY Hairball Alarm: Place strategically piled hairballs around your home. If someone steps on them, they’ll squish and emit an unmistakable sound, alerting you to their presence and potentially grossing out any intruders.
  4. Pet Portrait Perimeter: Hang large portraits of your pets near entry points. If someone tries to sneak in, they’ll be greeted by the watchful eyes of your furry friends, deterring them with adorable judgment.
  5. Laser Pointer Security System: Set up a series of motion-activated laser pointers that activate when someone enters. The lasers create an entertaining light show that will confuse intruders and provide endless entertainment for your pets.

By incorporating these pet-friendly burglar alarm alternatives, you can enhance your home security without causing stress or harm to your beloved pet.

Stay safe.
