Don’t split up Beatles when they still have a few albums left in them...

Want some tips for a better life, Yoko? Try this…

- BY JULIE MCCAFFREY

WHEN Yoko Ono tweeted “Give us some advice that will make our lives heal and shine” maybe she was expecting make-love-notwar, sweetness and light. Instead, what she got was a mix of tonguein-cheek advice, mickey-taking and some helpful life hacks…

The little arrow next to the pump logo tells you which side of the car the tank filler hatch is on. Always check there is paper, before you sit down.

Never believe a word @ Borisjohns­on @Jacob_rees_mogg or @Nigel_farage say. Don’t split up the Beatles when they have a few albums left in them.

Demand higher taxes for the rich, open borders, a working welfare state and basic income everywhere. If you marry into the British Royal Family always wear a seat belt.

Let’s stop being afraid of what could go wrong and let’s start being positive about what could go right. Rescue a magpie. Teach him to say Merry Christmas. Eat the yellow snow. Yellowest snow is the ripest. Avoid flat-roofed pubs. Seek out comedy. Laugh more.

Make your packed lunch before you go to bed because you won’t be arsed to in the morning and you’ll end up eating a Greggs again.

Place your trousers under the mattress before going to bed. It helps keep the crease. A plastic milk bottle top makes a great water bowl for a pet shrew. Don’t take laxatives if you have a tickly cough.the Soup boil, soup spoil. Use hairspray to remove sticky label marks from glass jars. Never attempt a winter invasion on three fronts at once.

Rub a spoon on your fingers under a cold running tap to get rid of the smell of garlic. Use the edge of a teaspoon to peel ginger.

If your bed is freezing or you are cold use a hair dryer on your mattress for a few seconds before jumping in. Much better than a hot water bottle. It won’t get better if you keep picking at it.

Sorry, but we can’t guarantee these tips will make your lives shine… or are even accurate.
