Attitudes Towards Science
Yes I know most of you will scroll pass at the very mention of science so for those geeky or foolish enough to still be reading I'll keep it short.
All scienctific discovery is either treated as "hocus pocus, mad scientist bullshit that doesn't have any purpose so why do they even bother?" or strangely paradoxical trust/despise stories on health issues (see the supposed MMR scandal and more recently everyone running to blame scientists over the death of a girl riddled with cancer because she had the cervical cancer jab that day). All I want is for more people to have a basic understanding of what the scientific process of peer review involves and for the media to simply take a rusty bayonet to their throat.

The Chivalry Act
If, god forbid, you are like me and my friends in that you can make charming witty conversation with women all night but the conversation opener scares you more than castration by spoon, this is for you.
Find a group of girls (prefferably only 2) in a club (doesn't work well in a pub or anywhere before 1 in the morning). Send one of your mates over to said girls either pissed out of his brains to the point of slavering or at least pretending, and here comes the chivalry.
Give your mate about 20 seconds to make those girls disgusted with every part of his being then go over, tell your mate to fuck off back to the bar and apoligies to the ladies offering to get them a drink.
This is a reasonably good technique though sometimes you do wonder why you are sober as a judge pretending to be some kind of drunken rapist just so your mate can try and get laid.

The Tesco's Scam
When the Self Service machines were first introduced in our local tesco me and some friends quickly realized a great opportunity to save money and feel dangerously cool.
In said tescos they also had a bakery section which was also self service, when combined with the self service checkout you had 4 bags bursting with various baked goods all coming to the price of one jam doughnut (14p).
Every little helps.
