If you're going to walk barefoot in your house after dark, always switch a light on. However, if you know that won't wear shoes/slippers and are highly unlikely to light your way, make sure that you don't leave your big, heavy, steel toe-capped boots in the middle of the floor. Not unless you want to see how easy it is to remove a toe nail, and enjoy trying to get blood out of a carpet.
No, the worst is standing on an upturned three pin plug
Or, a while back, a friend was showing me the vintage BSA motorbike he was storing in his garage for a neighbour. He lives in a bungalow with a garage which is part of the house and there is a door from the kitchen straight into the garage. We had been sitting chatting in sitting room and then went to the garage and my friend who had forgot he had no shoes got on the bike and hit the kick starter with his bare foot. I think it hurt.

The last time I had purple poo it turned out to be Colitis!
The last time mine was purple was after a heavy night on Guinness and black, the water also went a very vivid red.
It was just like a really smelly coco pops advert without the monkey!

Mine often just turns black after that now!
The monkey would have been there somewhere, it wasn't involved!

A dull knife is a dangerous knife!
if it is dull you must apply more pressure, more pressure = more force, more force and a narrow edge when meeting fingers = bad!
a sharp knife requires less force = more control, also when you do inevitably cut yourself it will be a neater cut.
when cooking with fire/charcoal, remember that black on the outside does not mean cooked on the inside!

When drilling a hole for a rawlplug, always use a bit one size smaller than it says, then tap the plug in with a hammer. If you use the size it says, it'll end up loose, and when your screw is all-but-in, with just a cm still to go, the plug will start revolving. Then you're screwed (hem hem), because you can't screw it the rest of the way in, but you can't unscrew it either. When you pull it out of the wall in frustration, it will bring a lump of plaster with it the size of your fist. Leaving a hole you'll have to fill - and fill very well...because you still have to get a rawlplug in there, remember?
Rawlplug rule #2: if your hole is a bit loose, you can generally still make it work, by wrapping a layer of cloth elastoplast round the pug before you stick it in the hole. It does have to be cloth though - the 'waterproof' ones won't grip.
Here endeth the Rawlplug lesson.

Squirt "No More Nails" into the hole, insert Rawlplug, leave to dry, insert screw. My walls are so friable I have to do this every time!

You can also smell Sugar Puffs when urinating after eating them for a couple of days!
With reference to rule 2 I would suggest that "if your hole is a little bit loose" leave the DIY for another day. Nothing good ever came of a man that strained hisself working whilst in possession of a very loose hole.
