Yes, this is it

Only problem with this method is if your bowels move more than once a day you would have a bit of an overflow by the end of the week.

You obviously flush the toilet you crap into. Not the toilet you pee into.

Place a large sheet of hard plastic/light metal half ways up roof, at the end of the sheet have it turned up so it creates a channel. At the end have an outlet connected to a pipe that in turn connects to a tank in the attic. Use this tank for everything except drinking water.

In the rare case of no rain, have a mains water fed connected to the tank also but it would normally be off.

What germs?

Just build an outside privvy over the septic tank, solves the water issue completely.

****e in a bucket and leave the bucket somewhere warm until your logs have dried out (the airing cupboard maybe) and then fling them at passers-by screaming 'Irish Water won't get nathin off me!'

I'm sorry, it was a horrific scene and they suffered quite a bit. I don't like the water rhymes game any more

When in a pinch use a different element like fire or air

Why throw it away, if you've dried it then put it on the fire with the turf.

Sir Arthur Daley

Adult nappies and when used throw them into the recycling bin, get rid of the toilet altogether.

Nothing beats the smell of a lovely open fire piled high with a load of ****e logs.

And keep a few on the mantlepiece. They look good at Christmas with a Santa hat.

You could stick a candle in them and have a real Christmas log.

pee in one, poo in the other

Unless you are some sort of freak, its impossible to poo without peeing, so both toilets are going to get some pee.

What about crapping in the shower and stamping on it til it goes down the plughole?

You could plug yourself, pee first and pull the plug when you get to the second one?

Look at this fancy fcuker with his three toilets! No recession in your house, ha?!

5 toilets in our house. I'm asking Santa for another one for Xmas.

Put a water displacement device in the toilet cistern i.e. a brick. Your average flush takes 10 litres of water - or a large watering can full. Two bricks could save a litre a flush.

Move into a hotel suite and use their facilities for washing, peeing and pooing, thus cunningly avoiding pesky water charges altogether. Also dry-clean all your clothes. Hah, sorted. Fcuk you Irish Water, Fcuk you.

Cant argue with that, happens me a lot. But your only losing 1 or 2 pee's a day.

Get dual switches installed on your toilet pot. The ones I have use 2lt for a quick flush and 3lt for a full flush but they are high powered flushes. The 3lt is even good enough to get rid of Guinness after a session

Pee in the sink while having a shave. Multitasking, saving time and water.

use the grey water from the shower to flush the toilet it might require some replumbing but it should mean you will never need new water to flush again

Just use the shower as a toilet. Saves you from lots of plumbing.

try defecating in the shower its not really an option. another option is to install a sink over the toilet like in america. the grey water from the sink goes into the cistern

You need to add more indian food to your diet. Your ass will look like the Japanese flag but easier to "flush"

Just make sure you choose the right brick: it's got to be a glazed brick, the kind fired in a kiln. If you use a cheap sun-dried brick, they tend to fall apart under water ...

Water is free in the countryside no need to economise and be thinking of blue peter ideas for bodily waste.

Forget the brick fill a two litre milk carton with water and drop it in the cistern. Saving two litres from every flush!

95 percent of people pay for water in the country via the group water scheme. they are not yet under irish water but soon will be. they have being paying over a hundred euros since forever. the only ones who are left are the 5 percent of people who get their water via their own wells. this is untreated and can be low at certain times of the year, but ultimelty does serve their needs. they are exempt from the charge. irregardless of where you get your water from either a mains sewage or a septic tank treatment system is mandated for waste. most houses int he country side use a septic tank and may were built over 40 years ago. new eu rules which recently came into place state a minimum standard fort septic tanks. owners havea set number of years to get their tanks in order and the cost is up to 5000 to repair ageing and or leaking septic tanks. they plan on inspecting all tanks at some stage and there is astronomical fines for leaking septic tanks after a set time.

2 bricks and a whiskey bottle in my cistern for more than a year now. So far the flush copes with everything thrown at it, and the refill time has been halved, so theres never a problem with the morning rush anymore.

Im not paying for it thats all that matters.

I'm just going to do it all at work, I'm saving money on my water bill and I'm getting paid for doing it aswell . Then on a Friday just before I leave I'll use toilet and just have to eat and drink nothing all over the weekend.

I'm going to be saving loads !!!

And anyway where I work is open on a Saturday so I can always call in while I'm passing if it's absolutely necessary.

Or get a vaguely handy person to adjust your ballcock to shut off earlier, its easy

allthedoyles

Just looking at a catalogue that came with Sunday Newspaper with water-saving ideas , and you can buy a 1000 litre tank and pump for €700 .

You would certainly save water , but which is more important , saving water or saving money.
