    Always wondered and flut's inspired me to ask.

    It's cold, it smells and there's no telly to take your mind off the difficult bits.

    Answers, please?

    Reading, as in not just "looking at the pictures....

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It's kind of a "men behaving badly", laddish thing to do - the sort of thing those mockney guys would have espoused in the late 90s (think Jamie Oliver).

    If I want to behave badly, I'll **** in the sink, thank you very much!

    I like a good read of the Financial Times, as currently the shares are falling so fast, it give the occupant a good reason to blow out the pipes with gusto, happy in the knowledge that not only the shares are tanking, but they are being followed by a good ripe shíte, which, strangely enough it a crumb of comfort for someone watching his assets slip into negativity.

    Kinda like a two fingers to them.

    That's only me though, others might not appreciate the connection.

    Peace and quiet ... no distractions. Ive often read chapters in there. As the OP says... the smell is never an issue. Unless somebody has been in before you.
    :D

    Immediately after he comes out, ask him can you look at the history of his Psp's internet browser. If you have wireless in your house I can nearly guarantee you he's in there desecrating the sanctity of his own body.

    It beats staring at the wall for a half hour.

    And sure, if you're stuck for a roll, the Evening Herald does a wonderful job. Sure, it comes full of ****e anyway....

    I don't understand why this is confusing for people. You can read in peace without interruptions. A lot of people will probably admit to staying in the bathroom for more than 15 minutes after they've finished doing what they went in to do.
