I have tried the potato method in the past and it worked well.

Leave the mains on then you get some fried potatoes!

I was hoping he'd get shocked for comic relief!
(my hopes were from previous videos posted )

And...will it work with a bayonet fitting such as we use in the UK ?

Why waste a perfectly good potato?

#4 make a video and let us know.

Push to the MAX!!!

Oh FFS is anyone so stupid that they couldn't work this out without a video? I'd now like to help you all with a few more of life's problems just in case you get stuck, okay you might want to write these down.

1) Broken shoe lace.. Always happens at the worst possible moment, the answer is either replace the broken shoelace with a new one by easing the lace through the little holes and threading in the new one...!!BE very careful to observe the colour, don't replace a brown shoelace with a black one it will look silly. Alternatively (and this is really cleaver) if the shoelace brakes and their is enough extra lace on the good side, jiggle the long end to make it shorter and hey presto you will have equal lengths again but the bow will be shorter.

2) Running out of Gas or Petrol or diesel. Simply carry a spare can of the same in your boot (not shoe, not enough room) poor this into the petrol tank of the car and drive to the nearest fuel station or walk home.

3) Mobile phone battery dead...I know most of you will consider this the end of your life BUT.. There is help! Simply imagine a time say twenty five years ago when hardly anyone had a fecking phone and got through life just fine. You too can survive this, just breath deeply and carry one.

4) last one okay. You ran out of cigarette's Oh Feck me! what do you do now? Well keep calm to start with then try and get into the mindset that a) people won't think you stink everytime you come into a room b) you won't be fecking killing yourself even though God knows how many times you have been told. c) you will be able to breath and smell like normal people and d) you will live longer and have more money..

Dearest Gringo!

#7 dead battery is annoying...advise people to get a power pack, at least I think that is what is called...
Worst of all, running out of booze and/or toilet paper...any advice for that predicament, dear JJ?

#7 thanks for those tips. noted for emergency situations.

#8 No toilet paper, the TSA (toilet security agency) has got your back. just dont forget to put on your seat belt and use the hole in the side wall for any dirty garments.

For the battery situation, use hot water to revive the battery. if you don't mind having a wet phone that is.

Also when it comes to booze, i've made wine a couple of times. it's easy.
buy grape juice and open the cap at least once. next step is the hardest: forget to put it back in the fridge. after a while it will start to smell like wine. don't know how it will taste cause i don't like wine anyway and didn't try my own home made almost biologic one.
