The FastDay Forum

Found a new fasting tool. On fast days, wear clothes that are too small. I am doing this right now and feel like such a porker, it is keeping food out of my mouth!

You make me laugh, GMH.

What a brilliant idea!

Absolutely fantastic idea @GMH why did no one think of this one before? Welcome back, if you have any more ideas like this one ... I think you should label this thread 'Thought for the day by GMH' as you would get lots of posts / replies on here...

ah yes but I want you all to come up with a thought of the day @silverdarling

Each day has many beginnings, for yourself layered over by those closest to you.
Stop.
Look at you now.
Smile


Start again.

"Feel like such a porker" made me laugh! Tho i know the feeling
@debs viz top tips make me howl with laughter!
Off now to try to think up a thought for the day x

Top tips from Viz..Sorry to lower the tone..i blame@debs..

MEN: When listening to your favourite CD, simply turn up the sound to the volume you desire - then turn it down three notches. This saves your wife having to do it.

DON'T waste money on expensive iPods. Simply think of your favourite tune and hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.

CINEMAGOERS: Have consideration for pirate DVD viewers by using the toilet before the film starts.

DRIVERS: If a car breaks down or stalls in front of you, beep your horn and wave your arms frantically. This should help the car start and send them on their way.

PREVENT burglars stealing everything in the house by moving everything into your bedroom when you go to bed. In the morning, move it all back again.

CAR THIEVES: Don't be discouraged if nothing is on view. The valuables may be hidden in the glove box or under a seat.

RAPPERS: Avoid having to say: "Know what I'm sayin'" all the time by actually speaking clearly in the first place.

SHOES last twice as long if only worn every other day.

SINGLE MEN: Convince people you have a girlfriend by standing outside Topshop with bags of shopping, looking at your watch and occasionally glancing inside.

EMPLOYEES: Only use the loo at work. Not only will you save money on toilet paper, but you'll also be getting paid.

SCROOGES: Save money at Christmas by returning last year's cards to the sender with the simple inscription "Same to you"

ANGLERS: Attach a helium balloon to your line and bait the hook with an acorn. Then sit under a tree and "fish" for squirrels. An upturned laundry basket would make an ideal keep-net, but don't forget to throw the squirrels back into the tree at the end of the day.

SINGLE MEN: Get a glimpse of married life by taping Woman's Hour on Radio 4, then playing it back at a higher volume than the TV while trying to watch something on Discovery Wings.

TIGHT-ARSED blokes: Only date girls called Natalie, Carol, Holly or Eve. Chances are their birthday is around Christmas and you won't have to shell out for a present until then, by which time they will have chucked you.

BOIL an egg to perfection without costly egg timers by popping it into boiling water and driving away from your home at exactly 60mph. After three miles, phone your wife to take the egg out the pan.

SHOPPERS: Take one grape to the till. It won't register on the low-tech, insensitive scales so you will get it for free. Repeat this procedure 100 times or so and you have yourself a free bunch of grapes.

A POST-IT Note stuck beneath the nose is an ideal way to foil

WHEN visiting a motorway service station for a cup of tea and a slice of cake, make sure you arrange your bank loan or second mortgage before you get to the tills, saving time and embarrassment.

CYCLISTS: Avoid getting a sore behind by simply placing a naan bread over your saddle. This will comfort your ride and when you return home, hey presto! A warm snack.

HOUSEWIVES: Before attempting to remove stubborn stains from a garment, circle the soiled area with a permanent pen so that when you remove it from the washing machine you can check the stain has gone.

SKY TV viewers: Avoid repetitive strain injury by holding down the "prog+" button on your remote control and taping your finger

PHILANDERERS: Avoid the embarrassment of shouting out the wrong name in bed by having flings only with girls who have the same name as your wife.

FOOTBALLERS: Remember there is plenty of time to get drunk after your playing career has ended.

HORSE whisperers: Speak louder. The animals will hear you more clearly, thus speeding up training times.

FEMALE shop assistants: When a garage mechanic comes to your till, add on a selection of random items they didn't know they needed and charge them s50 labour costs for

WORRIED that your teeth will be stained after a heavy night drinking red wine? Drink a bottle of white wine before going to bed, to remove the stains.

Hi @silverdarling loved that
"Procrastination is the thief of time" xx

Ahahahahaha Hahahahahah. Naan bread!! Stained teeth!!Hahahahahah Hahahahahah

ok here's my next thought (from a vegetarian perspective): why don't people eat Koalas? Or possums? I thought it can't be the size...chooks...it can't be that they are native animals...people eat Roo...is it cos they are fluffy and cute?...nah people eat dogs and cats....Hmm no idea. Of course it's all the same to me...cat, dog, koala, lamb, cow, crook, possum.

I saw possum confit for sale at the Hobart farmer's market last weekend. I don't know why we don't eat possum and koala on a regular basis and I'm sure the early settlers did, and the Aborigines of course. I don't think I could eat a possum because I feel so negatively towards them because of how they destroy your garden. I couldn't eat a koala because I see them as rare and special. But we meat eaters should eat more roo because it's more environmentally friendly than hard hooved cow and sheep and don't have such a bad effect on the fragile soils.
