So as ive been plauging people over the last few days to get the meaning of things ive decided to start a thread of useful info. Plus im bored on a sunday morning too so ill start off with a useful tip.

If ur using ur telly remote or any type of remote control and u think that batteries are dead, a very handy way to confirm is to get the camera on ur phone, as if ur about to take a pic, hold it up to the IR LED on the top of the remote, if the batteries are working u will see a glow coming from the IR . Works because the camera can see the infrared signal that you cant with ur eye.

To find out how much gas is in your cylinder, pour boiling water over it and you'll see condensation forming where there's gas inside. Top tip when planning a BBQ!

Great tip. I tried it, now if the remote gets a little off, I'll check the batteries that way.

My remote has a bliking red light telling me when it's being used...

When your rose petals fall, cut the stem back to the first 5 leaved twig for a quick regeneration...

On most cars on the dash, there's a picture of a fuel pump with an arrow pointing left or right to show the driver which side the petrol cap is...

Always use a drawing pin to punch a pinhole in the BLUNT end of an egg before boiling to stop it cracking.

Simplistic way of cleaning tarnished silver.

Some tin foil placed into a small plastic container so as to create a cup shape. Put in silver item... cover with via er and add 1/4 to on go backing powder. Stir for a few seconds and leave for 20 minutes.

The tarnish will have moved front the silver to the tinfoil.

Remove and rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.

And this frees you up for a different type of polishing....buff and shine baby
