4) Make your ultimate milkshake!

Get that blender out of the kitchen cupboard and put it to good use! Whatever your favourite flavour, whether it be strawberry, banana, chocolate, or vanilla, gather an enormous amount of ingredients and shove them all in. Personal recommendations; 1) Ben & Jerry's Vanilla ice cream, 2) Marshmellows, 3) Cadbury's Dairy Milk, 4) Hundreds and Thousands, and 5) Some authentic Jersey cream milk!

7) Get a slinky record!

Similar to the movie Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, grab a slinky and head off to the largest flight of stairs that exists close to where you are now. This could be the entrance to a library or the stairs in front of the Sacre-Couer! What's the longest amount of time you can get?
