Venezuela: Toilet Roll Crisis

Paddy Samurai

Two weeks ago, huge queues were being reported at supermarkets as shelves were left empty by the toilet roll shortage.
New president Nicolas Maduro, who took over after the death of Hugo Chavez, blamed a 'conspiracy' to destabilise the country.

I hear they are all scared Sh!tless ,so they should be able to do without for a while longer. :eek:
Hope they get to the bottom of it.:D

This is nothing but a capitalist smear campaign.

No one to blame but themselves for the price controls.

Fair play, Nicolas Maduro, you're on a roll, so no need to be taking shit from some assholes.

Maduro is just trying to wipe out government deficit. But in order for us to establish whether or not it was a conspiracy, we need a committee to flush out the facts; especially if a new movement plans to erupt in Venezuela. Apparently, an offer was put on the table by Obama but it was considered a bum deal by Maduro. That leaves them with only two options; #1 or #2, they'll have to stick it out with #1 for the time being it seems. All in all, this situation stinks.

Squeaky bum time.

With no miracle in sight, Roman Catholic churches are being asked to ration wine in the latest shortage to illustrate Venezuela’s economic troubles.
A shortage of wheat flour has also hit production of the bread used for communion, church leaders say.
“We’re asking the priests and bishops to ration wine and look for alternatives during this emergency,” said Jose Antonio Da Conceicao, a national church official.
Church leaders say the problem arose when the local supplier of the specialty sacramental wine used at Mass had a bad harvest. They turned to importers, but the companies told them it was impossible to obtain dollars to bring the wine into the country because of Venezuela’s strict currency controls.

Having said that, if there is a shortage of wine, I'm not sure why the Irish Times are trivializing it by reporting it as a Church issue.

Surely Fintan et al. recognize the importance of a full-bodied, multi-textured French red in the comerades' intellectual itinerary.

There's certain rules to the production of sacramental wine. I would imagine that you can't just grab a bottle of plonk from the local Lidl.

Just had a google and you're right. I presumed anything went, because when I was an alter boy just over 10 years ago, the Priest used to use whiskey...

They have plenty of trees, therefore leaves will do the job.

They have plenty of capybara and anteaters.

This is a life lesson right here :pac:

If you can create a mass panic through toilet rolls. You can pretty much make a mass panic about anything.

Ah, yes it's what I said in my post (using leaves) but then I thought you made a (disgusting ) joke because Capybaras eat leaves...

Jesus, I barely touch the stuff anymore and when I have to, I make my way to the closest civilised toilet as fast as possible. Toilet roll leaves me feeling positively filthy.

Bum spray all the way.

Thinking about it, if it's "clear cut" there's no need to wipe. Just free Nelson, then underwear back on and walk away....

what a shitty situation to find yourself in :pac:
