Just ordering a coffee.

Let’s face it we all go through some form of mild road rage every now and again, usually resulting in a few expletives here a few middle fingers there.  Sure we could be having an all round bad day but generally this road rage is brought on by one of those really annoying habits that some drivers insist on doing.  

So this list of Top Ten Annoying Driver Habits is in a way a little kick in the pants to everyone who is guilty of doing them and also a little reminder to us the “innocent ones” not to start doing them.

1. Slow drivers in the fast lane or slow drivers who speed up in a passing lane. Stop it!
2. Drivers who refuse to let you in as this would obviously add another 2 seconds onto their drive time.
3. Tailgating.
4. Braking without any reason to.
5. No indication, never.
6. People distracted by either; mobile phones, drinking coffee, smoking.
7. Speed demons.
8. Drivers crossing lanes when not paying attention.
9. Signal left and then turn right, oh yes the old switcheroo.
10. Drivers throwing out their rubbish.

A night to remember? Maybe not.

The most enjoyable responsibility of a groom’s best man is to ensure that the stag night or weekend, is one to be recounted for years to come; perhaps even made into folk songs. No stag ‘do’ is complete without capers and pranks. The sole purpose of these often juvenile stunts is to embarrass the groom for the amusement of the rest of the group as you celebrate them leaving bachelorhood.

Here is a collection of tame and not so tame ideas. Key to success is that the entire group (except the groom) pitch into a kitty to pay for the night AND that everyone takes an active part in stitching up the groom.

1. ‘Get into position’. Buy a bag of toy soldiers, each member of the group is given a soldier and on exit of each establishment they have to mimic the stance of their soldier. Funny as the evening progresses.
2. Kidnap the groom by surprise in public – or pay someone they don’t know to do it. The police frown on this one though so be careful.
3. Dress up. Make the groom dress up, for the whole night. Homemade or bought costumes ensure no costly dry cleaning bills at the end of the night, here’s some ideas: Chick, wrestler, Borat style mankini.
4. ‘Fake a break’ after the groom passes out put one of their limbs in plaster. When they wake the next day make up a befitting story to explain the break.
5. Dude that looks like a lady. Female strippers are passé, so get them a male stripper. Be ready to run when they discover the gender after they have got ‘excited’.
6. Organise a ‘Stag Quest‘. Prepare a list of items they have to obtain and tasks to perform. E.g. talk a girl into removing her bra, they have to get spanked by a copper, get a tattoo.
7. “Your vessel sir” Chain a tankard to the stag’s wrist for the whole night from which they have to drink.
8. Homemade fake beard. Make a beard from the groups hair (use your imagination) and paste it on the groom, (don’t tell him the source until after though). Disgusting, but still has laughter factor.
9. Mars bar trick. Wait until the groom is asleep, unwrap a mars bar and stick it between his arse cheeks in his undies. Next morning, is that melted chocolate or not?
10. Naked homing groom. Whilst still out strip the groom of all personal possessions, including clothes and let them navigate their way back. Don’t do this if it’s a freezing cold night, hyperthermia isn’t funny.

And remember it’s not amusing if there are permanent mental or physical scars so plan responsibly-ish.

I think you have something on your face?

Cannon Ball!

You have an important party coming up at your house and you really need to make sure it goes well.  With this in mind The Quick Ten tam have put together a Top ten List for tips which will save you from having a disaster on your hands.  Just keep us in mind next time you have a party though and maybe set some beers aside for us or even send us an invite!

So lets begin!

1. Chill your warm beer/wine that’s not in the fridge fast by placing them in a tub of ice water and salt – Find out more here: http://howto.yellow.co.nz/food-drink/wine-and-beer/how-to-chill-a-beer-fast/
2. Use a BBQ to cook the food.  It’s easy and can cater to the masses.
3. Prep the toilets and stock up with plenty of toilet paper.
4. Tell you neighbors before the big night so that they are not shocked by the amount of noise so as to avoid a call from the local noise control.  Even better yet, if you are friendly with your neighbors invite them over and they will be doping shots of Jagermeister in no time!
5. Music, Music and more music.  Make sure you have enough variety to keep the mood going and upping the tempo over the night as people have a few more drinks is always a good idea.  If you cannot be bothered sorting this and have some extra cash then source a good DJ.
6. Use social media.  Sure it might be a bit naff but set-up an event on your facebook account so at least you can have a running total on who is coming and who is not coming.  Therefore when you go to get supplies you will have  a good idea of numbers attending.  You can even engage further with them and get them to vote on music, food, alcohol etc they wan to have.
7. Prepare for rain.  If it’s going to be an outdoor party then prep for rain even if you live in California.  Some options are; Patio Umbrellas, plastic sheets or covers on the floor for when they storm the house, clear out the garage for an additional space.
8. Keep the numbers manageable especially if you are going to be hitting the booze quite hard.  If you can cope with 50 then invite 40 so as you are not having to fight fires all night….hopefully not literally.
9. Carbo load.  Buy food that is heavy and will soak up alcohol and lessen the nights debauchery.
10. Be a responsible host and provide transport options for people leaving the party.  This could be anything from a taxi number to a map of where the local train or bus station is.

Marilyn Monroe

Based on the raging success of Top Ten Famous Gingers the team at The Quick Ten thought we had better roll out a list paying homage to famous blondes.  This is not as easy as the Ginger list (which was literally on fire), no, this list has been a tough one due to the plethora of suitable candidates.  But we think we might have cracked it, pulling together the biggest blonde names to grace this earth…..well at least provide us with entertainment.

1. Marylin Monroe
2. Princess Diana
3. Madonna
4. Farrah Fawcett
5. Dolly Parton

7. Michael Caine
8. Brigitte Bardot
9. Twiggy
10. Brad Pitt

Flying Ginger!

People of the Ginger persuasion have been known to posses a certain amount of pace and skill when it comes to sports…..well kind of.  Possibly this is due to that fire in their belly/on their head, that has allowed them to excel at certain sports.  But who is the greatest Ginger sports person?  Who has dominated there chosen sport and set the bar high for all gingers to aspire to?  Its not the whose who of sport but dam it, they deserve some recognition!
