Use a Flamethrower.

What's a good way to get a PS3?

You have NO idea of the irony of this advice.... Maybe I'll tell you one day.

Notalent, best thing would be to kidnap the daughter of Sony's CEO and demand the PS3 as ransom. Send her ear through the post so they know you mean business.

How do I get rid of a persistent cold?

Trade it in for some avian flu. Then you won't give a second thought to that cold. Though if you're really sick, I hope you get well soon, Lou.


What's the best way to see if an old flame would be interested in heating things up again?

Don't touch it because that's just asking for trouble. Hover your hands over the ashes and see if you can feel any warmth. Or smell for smoke.

Oh you mean in a ladyfriend sense? Sneak into her house, and whisper normaly, conversational type things in her ear. You will appear to her in her dreams and the next day she will wake up and think about you. If she's interested, she might give you a ring. If she's not, good thing you took photos of her when she was asleep.

Okay that was in poor taste, but seemed funny at the time.


The sight of people squashing ants makes me retch and feel evil inside. What should I do to control my feelings?

Squash ants yourself! You'll begin to like evil tendencies once you start

How do I get out of driving, so I don't have to drive in the fog?

Gin, gin and more gin!

I have just looked up the website of a place where a guy has invited me to dinner on Friday night and it looks worryingly trendy. What do i do if they turn me away at the door for not being cool enough?

Report it as a meth lab, change into your Emma Peel catsuit, and lead the raid... ensure that any signs of trendiness are wiped out.

What are some other suitable ways of treating "trendy" locales?

Start up a "Protection" business, enganging Hells Angels and all the local criminal MC trash gangs. It'll be non-trendy within the wink of an eye.

Or burned down.


How do I make sure to go to bed really early tonight so that I get enough sleep until tomorrow?

Gin, gin and more gin! ( Like Bob Hope I am not afraid to steal a joke. )

How do I get the kneee I injured yesterday to heal in time for Richmond without taking time off from fencing?

Get a magic weasel to kiss it better.

What shall I buy my 30-year-old brother for Christmas?

Guns work wonders for discipline. Ask anyone in your local ghetto.

How do I recover from another rubbish day at work?

Gin, gin and---no, wait...

Aha! A Mrs. Peel catsuit! No, that's not atrocious...


OK, here we go: A long fast while wandering in the wilderness. It worked for all those Biblical prophets, after all.


How can I get Thanksgiving Day off? ( Not the same as getting off Thanksgiving Day. )

Show up at work in a turkey suit.

How do I make a long-distance relationship work out?

Allow me:

How do I (Inquartata) make it to London in time to save LouW from a horrible dinner date at a horrible trendy restaurant?

I'm sure (if I really needed saving) he could merely summon his winged monkeys.

But let's be fair, it might be a really nice date! Sabreur seems to be convinced only a horrible man would ask me out.

How should I react to such an insult?
