Domestos-National Toilet day

    The Flutther was coursing down Dawson in a northerly direction when it

    dawned on him that it was National Toilet Day . 19 Nov.

    Proceeded toward Nassau and, well, it must have been the subliminal thought,

    but felt a tightness on the sphincter and immediately knew there was an

    unstable 'baton round' in the chamber .High calibre.

    Toughed it out to Sth Leinster St. where she almost 'crowned' and sought a

    safe landing strip.

    Davenport Hotel hove into view and barely made it to the pristine stalls

    before exploding a fan of loose stuff which reduced the area to a disaster zone.


    Cleaned up and left, happy in the knowledge that I had done my bit for

    Domestos National Toilet Day.

    Anyone else contribute?

    It's a pity they didn't use Google street view and we could have gone done for a decent look.

    THing Ive always wondered about these "International this day" or "National that week" is who the hell is responsible for assigning these days anyway :confused:

    And surely there are more than 365 things that are potential candidates for a day (letalone a week) to be awarded to ?

    I thought it was a stupid idea but then I Googled it and it seems to be for a good cause.

    .

    Well hopefully citizens of the Republic of Domestos enjoy celebrating their National toilet day (whatever such celebrations actually entail)

    Back in the real world I believe today was going to be World Toilet day before Domestos hijacked this wonderous event.

    Not on your own flutt..............was on the luas on the way home from work today and could feel a tightening around the sherriff's badge........tried to let a couple of silent rippers to relieve some of the impending pressure on the back door.

    Alas it wasn't going to plan and i had to embark at heuston where i destroyed the gents with a 7.8 on the richter.

    Felt sorry for the poor lad who was waiting outside to start his hourly cleaning.........he earned his corn this evening i tell you.

    Did you have to pay again on the Luas or did the same ticket suffice?

    anyway you did the right thing, no point in soiling the whole carriage.


    Well done.

    If I had known about this earlier I would have started a Squat Squad. That sounds cool, kind of like the A Team.
    Start a Squat Squad or find one near you.
    Participating in the Big Squat is simple. Simply squat for one minute in a highly visible location, and then have a plan to explain to anyone who notices WHY you're all squatting. We have flyers you can hand out that give all the details in our Big Squat Toolbox.

    Hmmm... they are very big on the Squat Posture when 'cutting rope'.


    In fairness they have a very good point, clears the pipes better than the 'throne posture'

    serious stuff in fairness.

    Twyfords,Shires,Armitage Shanks or the bold look of Kohler?What do you like to bare your arse to.

    You can't beat the ol Shanks for durability,but the Twyfords is a more aristocratic crapper.

    I like those wierd toilets they have in the Netherlands where ones shyte sits on a little "shelf" so that one can examine it (seemingly a German obsession although the toilets seem to be more prevalent in Dutch hotels) before flushing.

    Terrible contraptions.

    Unloaded a thick 'Wicklow Log' in one of them in Rotterdam and couldn't shift the fcuker.

    Sat there like an anaconda after ingesting a reebok calf.:confused:

    I must admit I did consider the possibility of the downside you refer to the first time I encountered one.

    Ive heard they have some pretty nifty high tech bogs in Japan that clean ones jacksie with temperature controlled scented water and even analyse the constituents of ones pish to determine their state of health and give early warning of anything being amiss.

    Have unloaded on these Japanese bogs in Tokyo Mike and do you know what impressed me most, apart from the angles,heat features,musik etc was the unerring accuracy of the nipsy cleaning jet.

    I was staying in the Park Hotel there at the end of the Ginza and had taken on a fair cargo of gunk on the way up from Melbourne.

    Anyways I blew out a thick blatthery load and pressed the button.

    :eek:

    Bullseyed the badge with a tepid jet and swished her clean in jig time..:eek:

    Shifted all the dangles and winnitts as well.

    Smack into the centre of the badge every time, right into the eye.

    Couldn't get over it.

    They're a common feature in Dutch households.

    I think they're less to do with appreciating one's efforts, and more to do with both preventing splashback and using the least amount of water to flush the offending item.

    must be a heat seeking targetting system, something like in predator,

    that or theres a night vision camera in the crapper with your starfish illuminated in white on a green background, asian guy firing the water jet manually.

    hey, its japan.
