A few guys at work have had a laugh at the "Squatty Potty" trend going around this month. If you don't know what it is: (a) good for you, (b) it's the ultimate "you're doing it wrong" claim: all of us Westerners are apparently hurting ourselves by sitting on normal toilets.

There's a company that will sell you an expensive piece of plastic to help you improve your sh!tting posture. Or ... you could just lean forward. I think I know, by now, the correct method for dropping the kids off at the pool. :rolleyes:

Nothing wrong with my posture when I'm 'cutting some rope' let me tell you, never even touches the sides on the way out and I curl it straight down the bowl, none of this doublecoated pebbledash with me!!!

Not sure I should post this!.. Two weeks after I left hospital early after surgery on my wrist, I heard the dog barking and when I went to a window to look, there were two strange (!) women attacking my gate as if trying to climb it. For security reasons ( including keeping my dogs safe) I keep the gate padlocked at all times and after one episode, we added a single line of barbed wire across the top. THANK GOD! I called to the women who were getting frantic to get in, fingering the barbed wire ( which they declared was dangerous!) , and when they said they were the district nurses I went down, locked the dogs in the house.. for some reason TWO WEEKS after I came home, there were checking I was .. alive?Not starved to death? Anyways they were very chatty, a great double act and started re toilet habits and how to make sure you were really EMPTY by leaning back. And there they were in the lane, demoing this! Both of them! I mean REALLY!

This reminds me of when I had my son..I didnt need to "go" for 2 weeks after but I will never ever EVER forgot the agony when eventually things started to move...worse than labour and I dont say that lightly.2 hours of not knowing if I was coming or going and a screaming newborn that I couldnt even lift out of his cot.:o

Its a mans world ,no doubt about it.:pac:

Au contraire, that is one thing I'm not full of! Needed a double flush in Trap 1 earlier, thought I was gonna have to go for the toilet brush at one stage :P

TA'd that time seems to be creeping by today and of course I'll finish work, blink my eyes and it'll be Sunday evening already :rolleyes:

I've just had the most pointless row with someone over something so pathetically trivial it's not even worth the effort of going into detail, and now I'm pissed off.

Hardest thing to avoid doing that. It really is. I pretend to be deaf...;) Once you start nothing will stop it.

Standing at the urinal doing the necessary and the man next to you is involved in a long protracted **** under the guise of a post pee shake. I mean tearing the wire off himself for 30-40 seconds, the full George Michael. Dirty bastards.

In a church for the first time in an age last night - for a removal - had to sit through two! decades of the rosary. Thought I was going to lose my mind at the repetition.

Sorry about that! I love making rosaries and sell many, and love teaching it and handling beads, but as for praying it! During Advent and Lent the old wans pray it in the cathedral after mass and it sounds like a dirge.. But you did it and in respect for the family and their loss. Well done! By the way many of the saints and respected ones do not pray it either; remember Sr Wendy Beckett? And St Teresa....

TA: That Mastermind and University Challenge are the only proper (i.e. without gimmicks or suspenseful music) quiz shows out there.... I love quizzes and would watch them every day!

Only Connect is good too. (It does have a bit of music, but not too bad. Actually it might be a bit gimmicky. But it's good!).

Q. The song "Sylvia's Mother" was. 70's hit for Dr Hook. What was the daughters name in the song?

There's got to be a twist in this, but I'm going to say "Sylvia".

Got it in one. You would be amazed at the amount of people who spend an age trying to figure out the answer:D

Works best in a pub scenario if you know what I mean.

Speaking of quiz shows, what the great Larry Gogan quiz.....some gems on that.

Graces7

Sigh.. another insurance co refusing to give even a quote after wading through the online forms etc etc etc...gets very demoralising. Need my car... thankfully bedtime here so off to feed the critters and settle in. takes a lot to make me so down but this is a lot... no emoticon for tears?

Waking up at 4/5 in the morning to pee. It's cold, I'm tired and I don't want to! But I won't be able to sleep properly if I don't. Ugh.

Welcome to my world, up at 4.30am Monday to Friday, bladder doesn't recognise the weekend and starts to twitch around 5-5.30am Saturday and Sunday,

Think me cold is coming back, getting a bit sniffly :rolleyes:

Just noticed - when rinsing the carton - that I bought protein milk, which explains why I thought my porridge tasted odd.

The sticky thing on envelopes you have to lick.

1 - It makes me gag

2 - It hardly ever works!!

Stapler is out.

Use a damp sponge/j-cloth. You're welcome.

Oh that reminds me of a trivial annoyance. When you lick an envelope to seal it and realise it's one of the ones you don't need to lick (the ones with the sticky gluey stuff on them) and you've ruined it. :mad:

I have an ear worm ever since the earlier posts about Sylvia's Mother.

Thanks guys.

I had a carton of cherry tomatoes and 2 peppers that I was about to bin but I chopped them up with a red onion and threw them in the oven with a bit of oil,I was expecting them to be meh but I swear they were absolutely delicious..TAd when I think about the amount of food that I throw out when I probably could use it up if I put a bit of thought into it.

On the flip side I made scones last night and the recipe must have been wrong..ended up with flat biscuit like things ..we ate them anyway just didnt need to cut them open.:o:pac:

Speaking of worms, I think I have them, TA'd that I can't stop eating tonight
