    When a proper thunder box is required to handle the aftermath of pints of Imperial Stouts and cold pork pies….. and not alone that, it was a unisex toilet. No discrimination here. Civil Service take note,

    You might note the beseeching written plea, to pull gently……

    Wow !! this thread is still going !!!

    I've been off boards for a bit, but this thread would woo me back … in pain laughing here!!

    Well when you choose trap 2 you are guaranteed a neighbour eventually. Often in the male space there's no more than 3, so this is the sit-down equivalent of vile urinal etiquette. Have you no shame. If you are the first to arrive you must choose an odd number.

    Perhaps your last visit was before the introduction of the "Federal Eco-Flush™" a.k.a. press and hope

    I used to frequent an American forum where talk of blockages was common, some searched far and wide to find a secondhand pre-'low flow' cistern for their home.

    Pull what gently? 😃

    No bueno. Any hydraulic engineer worth his salt would take into question the unneccessary 90 degree bend there, right at the end of the discharge pipe too, it'll cut the flow to ribbons. Should have bricked up the window and put the cistern in the proper place.

    Indeed Brendan, shortly after the American log dispatcher became de rigeur them Yanks also invented a gun and, in honour of this Hail Mary style fecal disowning which was oft prone to a miss as much as a hit , they named her the blunder-buss.

    Some would say its where the grain concept emanated from too, due to the speckled effect on the porcelain ceiling and walls but I'd take that with a pinch of salt..not literally, mind.

    Its well for the cityfolk having the sewerage suction to carry away their worries and leave them safe in the holding tank in the shitbrown sky where log souls gather amidst their earthly husks.

    Down in the sticks, the big brush men are none other than the chimney sweeps. With their trusty extendable rods; giving pipes a good bit of length as required. The apprenticeships start with the chimneys of course, moving on to the sludge rivers when fully trained in the art and finally, at 10th degree initiation, they get seconded onto medical teams in the local healthboards where they can rod out a chocolate speedway and nip the selfish panblockers in the bud. A few on this thread were mentioned in the HSE data breach but thats for another thread as I've no desire to make enemas.

    If Eamonn Ryan succeeds in ending chimneys though, we'll have a sh1tstorm building beneath us when the art of rodding pipes is gone.

    The Dutch are also rather fond of these platform toilets, found often in tiny cubicles in Amsterdam coffee shops in days of yore when one would be very under the influence of strong wacky baccy and feeling a tad paranoid when having to use these tiny WCs with someone banging on the door to get in...

    When my big sister moved to Holland in 2001 and was house hunting with her Dutch partner, the key deal-breaker for her was a place with a platform toilet. 🚻 🚾 🚽

    In fairness, they are - thankfully - becoming less and less common there these days. 😁

    Very much hybrid toilets those Dutch installs (no pun intended). In the ready position, they are a platform toilet and after use and pre-flush, they are very much a chemical toilet. Its where the idea for chemical toilets came from. Jan Vander Flusch had a eureka moment when squathinking one summer many many flushes ago.

    Just finished up listening to the latest The Rest is History series about Martin Luther. Tremendous stuff tbh. I was always aware of the love of describing a good bowel movement by the likes of Rabelais and the great Catholic humanists of the era, but I wasn't aware that Luther and his contemporaries took a rather more biblical view towards the act of "getting rid of the breakfast". Expunging a demon in some cases. Leaving a length of Lucifer in the pan.

    Have we any Protestants here to give us a more Lutheran perspective on sending Satan to Ringsend?

    Yours in meek enquiry.

    Good points there. However the initial visual survey at the time showed trap #2 to be the cleanest. In fact, some hoof knuckle had left a Rorschach Test on the side trap #4.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,765 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    I find the ‘covered wagon’ manouvre best at the piss trough.

    Thumb at the side of the rod with the fingers shrouding the other side.

    No leaning back with your hands behind your head and the wand spraying over three bowls.

    Bad manners.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,434 ✭✭✭Bobson Dugnutt


    I’d say your the sort of man of advanced years who has to visit the trough every half pint and who can be found with his head against the wall as the peg pulses out a thin stream of yellow piss. Sighing and farting before heading back out to the stool to watch the 5.40 from Wincanton with Mick and Jimmy.

    Well off the mark there Bobby, pecker like a ships hauser and bladder with at least 3 litres cold. or 3.5 warm capacity.

    Now did see a lad as you describe entering the pissoirs in a south Dublin establishment , slightly unsteady trying to get the nobb out in transit and gushing a good quart into the strides he was wearing.

    Had to be oxtered out by his mates into a taxi which was probably put off the road if he had more than 30 mins to go.

    Fawn coloured stain spreading over the back of the strides.

    Us women don't have bowel movements lol .…we just hold it in until the time comes and it comes up the other way...eventually (no joke I read about that happening to someone 😮) and we puke it out. What else can we do to avoid it and be seen as unladylike?

    Had an Indian takeaway last night.

    Onion Bhagis, pacoras, Naan bread, chicken bhuna, washed down with several pints of peroni.

    Waiting in that experiment to explode.

    Baby wipes are in a cold place.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,765 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    You'll need the damp dishcloth for that lot Lewis.

    Steep her in tepid water to shift the first tranche of muzzle rubble and only then reach for the Baby Wipes.

    Cold items applied first thing to a hot hoop can upset the unit and make things worst.

    Lad I know made that mistake after a large intake of hot curry and was in adult pampers for a fortnight after it.

    Oh…. don't forget to 'decommission the dishcloth'.

    Left a deposit in the local tavern where I breakfast the odd time, they have the most uncomfortable pots that are suspended on the wall, they are so high off the ground that even Kareem Abdul Jabbar would have trouble pinching out a loaf. The first time I used them I thought I had mistakenly used a urinal

    They say Seamus Heaney's stinky Thoughtfox was inspired by a similar encounter.

    Christ above, how can 2 ordinary days be so different. Yesterday I had one of those “experiences” where you leave the jacks feeling both lighter and elated. Something Patrick Kavanagh might have expressed in his canal poems. I felt reborn.

    Today, I was surprised by a 7:30am rumbling, don’t worry I’ve since claimed the time back. The evac was, fairly, “standard” but the clean up was a disgrace. My hole is in bits, it’s like a casserole down there.

    Terrible day for it too, I’m walking far more than usual and suffering greatly for it with that “itch” that only comes with a throughly, some might say overly, cleaned arse. Having to mince about slightly to get relief when in company and then go at it however I can when not.

    I know I’ve asked this before but what’s the name of that cream some of you claim is a wonder ointment for the area mentioned?

    There was this stuff I got in Australia for insect bites with lidocaine in it, fantastic stuff but not available here.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,434 ✭✭✭Bobson Dugnutt


    Great for “personal itching”. Pretty much instant relief. Has a very pleasant tingling experience when first applied. Comes in a 100ml tube if you are a curry and 10 pints sort of chap.

    Screenshot from a video the “professionals” took while cleaning up a “unit” that Brendan Brendar used.

    Not a chance, that lot took months to build up.

    If the Brenner wanted to take a unit ‘out of commission’ would be much more subtle …..starting with a good top decking.

    Soak the innards with a good discharge of arse kelp, close the lid and let her seep through.

    Just sluiced out a log like a Staffords Iced Duck Cake in the downstairs, fcukker wouldn't take the corner.

    Will need to get home early and break out the 'big plunger'.

    Similar start to the week for myself. Dropped a real hall of famer in the work stall. Sort of log you could roll in glitter and put on display. Didn't think the flush would shift it but it went off like a torpedo.
