When modelling

As you pick up each item you work with with, I.e. tools, components,etc., etc......

Casually throw each object onto the floor then get off your stool, pick it up  and carefully place it back onto the workbench.

As you are bound to drop something at a critical juncture later, it is best to get the stress over with before you start.

............works for me...........

Before applying 'Preparation H' to the affected region, read the tube to make sure you haven't picked up the Fiery Jack by mistake, cos its mighty stingy on the old "Michael Miles" and will bring a tear to the eye, I can tell you! <:( <:( <:(

DON'T THROW away old underpants. With the leg holes sewn up and filled with earth, they make smashing hanging baskets for trailing plants.

BASEBALL cap manufacturers. Save the wearer the bother of turning your caps round by putting the peak on the other side.

HALITOSIS sufferers. Try to regulate your breathing so that you breathe out when everybody else does.

I was once kissed by a drunken  Glaswegian (with stubble) after beating eight lads in every drinking contest put before us that night. Never kissed a woman unshaven since.  Beeping horrible it was.

      Never, never, never, ever use an apostrophy to signify a plural.
