What do you read in the toilet ?

MarinoMark

I cannot go to the loo without something to read ! As far as I am concerned you cannot beat the "Guinness Book of Records"...Open it up on any page and you will find some interesting trivia. Its been in my bog now for a few months..

My book of choice for the next week is the prince by machiavelli. Anything at hand really, I often find myself running around looking for a book.

I usually just read a science magazine...

There is no better place to get your head around quantum physics than on the bog.

Roisin Ingle in the Irish Times Magazine.

She triggers a defecation response in me that knocks any laxative into a cocked hat.

You people need more fibre

Mr. CooL ICE

I read nothing. Reading prolongs your stay on the toilet seat, increasing your chances of getting hemorrhoids

wyndham

Everything and anything. Have been reduced to reading toothpaste boxes on occasion and shampoo bottles too when I can't lay my hands on anything. Evening Herald is the preferred choice as you can read it cover-to-cover in about 5 mins and just leave it there. Often have a cup of tea in there aswelll.;)*

I read my text messages that I've been ignoring.

I have been known to bring my laptop in there for particularly long sessions and I've even posted on boards.ie while in there.

Does the laptop not get really hot on the skin of your lap??

I'm not explaining how I know this happens

17" screen... I can place it on the floor and still read it if it gets too hot...

sh*t... I hope this doesn't ruin the resale value of the laptop if I ever try and sell it on adverts.ie

Pigman II

I read this thread.

smallpaws

Whatever book I have going at the moment, or VIZ magazine.

Can't be good for the lappy either, dust and all that

Dave!

I don't read in the jax... How big are your sh*ts, FFS?! I usually just concentrate on the job, I don't think I could go if I was reading something And I'm not in there long enough to make any progress in a book

Tom Dunne

Boards.ie all the way. No problem with the aformentioned heat issues (IBM R50 laptop).

monkeyfudge

I tend to only go once every 3 or so days so I'll tend to be in there for a long time when I do go.

Me too, usually I get two bottles of shampoo and compare the ingredients. It would be interesting if I knew what sodium laureth sulphate actually does, its in almost everything.

In public bathrooms, especially in college I read grafiti. Its usually advertising gay sex but you can get quite witty comments too. I once stood at a urinal in Trinity that read "Dont look up here, the joke is in your hand". Thought it was quite good.

Get my laptop... So usually I might stay there longer until I finish reading some interesting random link...

The Beano or one of the Beano Annuals I have.

Usually my phone is the only thing I have on me when I go into the toilet. I'd usually play some Tetris or Texas Holdem Poker on my phone or text someone. If not, I usually read the graffitti on the walls of public toilets. Some of it is quite incitefull: UP DA DUBS, <-- YOUR GAY, DECKO WAZ ERE, and other such gems

fade2black

The ingredients in the bottle of air freshener.

I keep the current month's issue of Top Gear magazine in the jacks.

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is also known as Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) and is a detergent molecule. It basically soaps up and gives you that nice lather but unfortunately also strips lipids away from the skin as that is what detergents do. This is why it is recommended that you moisturise everytime you leave the shower. It is also why provitamin B-5 (dexpanthenol) is added to a lot of shampoos now, as dexpanthenol is the precursor for panthenoic acid (vitamin B5) and is excellent at promoting growth of the skin. The same applies for ceramides, they are physiological lipids found in the skin and are added to moisturisers and some shampoos to replenish the lipids robbed by SDS!

Also, as for reading in the bathroom, similar thread here

I'm never in the bog long enough to do anything other than what I went in there for....why the hell you would bring a book/mag/newspaper with you is beyond me....if you're that constitpated you have a lot of stomach and intestinal problems ahead of you in later life.

Ciaran500

Mabye ours are just bigger and longer.

Riveta

you've got bowl problems man! every 3 days?!?! should be more like once a day! anyways, i tend to read shampoo bottles... oh the shame! i like to think it helps with my chemistry...

FlutterinBantam

I'm a great man for the Oxford-Hammond Concise Atlas of the World.

I study the Continents and try to memorise the capital cities before ..well..she hits the pewter as they say...I'm on Africa at the Moment and up as far as Chad...WHOOOOOOOSH:D

emeraldstar

I don't read anything in the toilet...

Well except for graffiti in public toilets. It can be really interesting!! But as a rule, no.

raheny red

If you're hungover and need to go the bog, just sit on it the other way around, fold your arms, place them on the cistern and casually rest your head on them!

:rolleyes: :mad: :eek: :cool:

ninebeanrows

nothing! plop, wipe, wash hands and good bye!

Plus you only "poo" at most once a day;)

jimmycrackcorm

I read my belly button fluff. It's a bit like reading tea leaves but it doesn't actually mean anything.

Pythia

Heat or other gossipy magazine.

Dord

usually its just guitar world, or guitar world's bass guitar.

theyre both perfect toilet reading material!:D

Revalco

Dont read anything, how interesting is that

The_Minister

National Geographic ftw.

Also graffeti

grimloch

I'm quite surprised at how many people go into the toilet armed with reading material. I can't imagine myself rolling up the newspaper and putting it under my arm ala Al Bundy and disappearing into the bathroom for the best part of forty minutes.

If it came to it however, I'd probably read some useless trivia like the Guiness book of records.

Dirk Gently

I usually forget to bring anything in with me and end up reading the ingredients on the back of bleach bottles and toilet ducks. I always tell myself to bring a good book with me next time but always forget.

Time to break out that old sig of yours to show people that you can use the laptop in the bathroom. "Don't let nature stop you" I think it was.
