You eat cake in the morning and can't be bothered washing a few dishes.

Can I suggest you get ONE universal bowl. That way you wash it either
before or after each use and dishes don't pile up. Spoken by a true
bachelor. ;)

I've got a friend who just keeps on using a new coffee mug every time.
His main room is like a carpet of coffee mugs. I think he might be on
this group too.......

Oh yeah... And don't do this......

It might break your bowl.

T'would solve the washing up problem, though

If they were real scientists they could make a nitrating solution and
treat the paper plates in it before use.

That way all the washing up could be done in a flash.

(Yeah, it requires scientific knowledge to appreciate that joke.)

Assuming he took them with milk which is the traditional way he should
have survived quite well. Proper porridge of course - not the ready
rubbish.

you could perhaps dunk the weetabix as you would a biscuit in your tea
if you bought milk in cartons and openend them all the way across the
top.
Or perhaps cut the weetabix's in half lenghtways first so you could
fit them through the top of a bottle.
So many possibilites!

And....

Q: Why do women usually come second?

A: Who cares


(and to offset that one)


Three blokes walking along a beach, when one find an old oil lamp. Gives
it a rub and sure enough a genie appears with the whole three wishes
bit. The genie says, since there are three of you, it is one wish each I
am afraid.

So the first bloke says "My mates have always teased me about being a
bit thick... so, I want to be the cleverest blokes here so that I can
show them up for a change!". So "Puff!" the genie grants him his wish.

Not to be outdone, the second bloke looks at his mate and says "I want
to be twice as smart as him". "Puff", and the genie grants his wish as
well.

Finally the third chap says "OK to trump them, I want to be twice as
cleaver as both of those two put together!". "Puff", and he turns into a
woman.

Hoyuss, very important is porridge drawer hygiene and lining the drawer
with greaseproof paper, not old copies of the Sun.

Are there any disposable (and cheap) containers I can use to have my
weetabix+milk every day?

It may be a bland breakfast, but it definately keeps me full.


I can't rely on the sink in my student place (things go missing in a
shared kitchen, hygiene reasons etc.)



If you think this question is dumb, i'm a bit of a stoner & I can't
think straight all the time.

I didn't have those days but every time one of ours left they took our
current electric kettle saying that we had a spare. We ended up with
Spouse's grandmother's copper kettle which we still use on the hob. HA! They
don't have suitable hobs for a kettle with a bumpy bottom because it was
used on a firegrate for a century!
