    I'd long forgotten the comfort of a wooden toilet seat, after a recent experience in a friends house. It's a shame we are bombarded with plastic seat offerings, as it must genuinely be 10 years since I sat on a wooden seat.

    On entering the bathroom, I stood staring at the seat for a few seconds, initially a bit hesitant to sit on it due to some "staining" towards the front, but I deduced after a few wipes with some loo roll that it was merely signs of age that wouldn't shift with a few mere wipes, it would require more of a heavy sand if you get me.

    Wooden seats do have a bit of an air of "filth" about them, germs harboring in the porous surface. But my word the comfort. A gentle natural warmth, a softness against the buttocks. Very pleasant I must say.

    Not so pleasant was the slick left down the back of the bowl once I stood up, it required some manual removal with a wad of paper due to the lack of a toilet brush. A disgraceful bathroom omission.

    Wooden seats are great. Never freezing on a cold winter’s morn.

    The only downside is the, inevitable, crack that occurs and always in a spot than will give an almighty “pinch” to the, unsuspecting, sitter.

    Bit of tape will sort that though.

    Another issue with wooden seats is that they do not age well and they start to warp and stain from the accumulation of piss.

    We don’t condone that sort of “carry on” in this thread, B.

    Not unless it was a, very, extenuating “circumstance”. We’re talking very big.

    I’m afraid Mr Eee you are well behind the times in this situation.

    If there was any suspicion of the C19 I wouldn’t hesitate to bang in a snap.

    It’s de-riguer now given the difficult state of our health system.

    Dr.would probably just say that the feed of ‘ Bombay Mix and Sunkist Prunes’ might have agitated the load a bit too much and that the previous
    fletch of fatty rib bacon looked like it was “blown”...but you were right to contact me.Best not leave a slab of bacon in the ‘press’ for two or three months though.....

    I thought you meant for that, particular, contributor to post a pic on here.

    By all means, do send photographic evidence of the stool to a professional “healthcare” provider. Better to be safe than sorry in these “unprecedented” times.

    Apologies, again, for the misunderstanding.

    No problem MrE, understandable mistake, of course I would, like yourself, be very much a against any ‘stuff’ being posted here and on private messages either.

    That would be a very bad turn to take especially the content the boy Parsnipp might be ‘produce’.

    I do though think he would not post the load here,in fairness, but does tend to gull a slab of Argus 8.0 on occasions and can be unpredictable.

    Best regards.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,055 ✭✭✭JohnnyFlash


    Argus 8.0 might be excellent value when you use the (volume x ABV)/Price formula, but that formula doesn’t take account of the state of the shïtter or your hole the next morning. Things always forgotten about when a fella is perusing the beer aisle in Lidl or Aldi looking for a slab of strong lager.

    That might explain his ill-tempered and downright abusive visitor messages that Mr. Parsnipp has left me on numerous occasions.

    Gulling a slab of argus is never going to put someone in top form. Combine that with Nevin's very irratated piles and I can see how a man would lower himself to sending abusive messages to this senior and we'll respected poster.

    Will bear that in mind in future.

    By the way boys, the wart fell off of its own accord, I think. I was sat up on the sofa like a lobster for the last few nights pinching it between my nails, and I must have weakened the stem. Will have probably fallen down my trouser leg in the office and will get worked into the carpet in time.

    Peace and goodwill to all.

    It’s been, what, 6 days? I’ve mostly been getting by on things like mugshots, cuppa soup, “instant” noodles, both pot and brick, and the odd freezer pizza. Probably leaning too heavily into the noodle supply.

    Jaysus. There's people in fallout shelters with a better diet than that.

    Good observation Losty,you are indeed correct, I’ve noticed Parsnipp does tend, not too often mind,to kick over the traces late at night.

    This could be after gulling a cargo of Argus .....and....... then necking a litre of Yellow Tail.

    Usually tips the boy over the edge.

    Heard a doc on TV say that normal is anything between twice a day and twice a week.
    Now I've done the twice a day thing on occasion, but I wouldn't want to make a habit of it. Same with the twice a week, I can't imagine the "delivery would easily fit through the letterbox" at that stage, if you get me. Once a day is surely the optimum.

    Bendar seems very tetchy these days - heard a story late last week about some dude in a dung coloured polyester suit smashing 72 bottles of Perlenbacher while attempting to load them into the boot of his Dacia Duster. Somewhere in North Dublin I believe. Heavy set lad with a combover.

    Ah now, N, even when you know it’s a “Magic” you have to employ a “cursory” wipe.

    We are going to have another housemate next week. She will be sharing the same bathroom as me.

    Pre coronavirus dilemma the bog roll be left next to the toilet.

    However, would it now be wise not to be sharing the same bog roll?

    Tell the tenant it's best to unload their dung neatly into an appropriately sized lunch box, freeze it and bring it to work for disposal. Call it a biosecurity measure until all this blows over.
    Some people are a bit finicky about what else the lunch box is used for after but I say what they don't know probably won't harm them

    This may be a silly question. I assume they drop the load in their own room and clean up using their own bog roll?

    Heard the ole Corona can stay active on paper for a day.

    Maybe purchase a baking mould in a home store type of outlet for the new arrival in the shape of a frisbee.
    Advise them, it'll cut out the messing about, pop it straight into the freezer and hey presto!

    Just dropped a Richard III myself. Nasty little sting in the tail was a wee nugget the cigar cutter didn’t get quite right. Was dangling off the arse hairs and when I stood up it fell straight into the jocks

    My appetite has been all over the place for the past few days, and so I decided I’d eat something ‘traditional’ for the dinner last night. Had a huge serving of bacon and cabbage, 6 Kerr Pinks, pint of milk, parsley sauce. Fücking delicious.

    Shunted out a top class shell only 30 minutes ago. Minimal paperwork required and away it went with the first flush. Feel physically, emotionally and even spiritually lighter as a result.

    Beginning to think a good feed of spuds can sort out most issues involving loose or watery stools.

    Eating a lot of pasta and breakfast cereals the last two weeks which I never eat and i'm in bits here. ****e is water the last four days and pains across my stomach and intestines. Its spraying out like a garden hose.

    There was a tint of green to it as well.

    Gonna have to go to supermarket to stock up on more meat to freeze and will get some spuds this time and some rice which I never eat either.

    Good lad Snoops, lookit, sachet of organic porridge in the a.m. is your man .

    Pop her into the wave and let her sit for a min. after three minutes waving.



    You will be squatting on the pot after ingesting....and blowing out chunks big time.

    Big solid lumps, dude.

    Go for it.

    Might try some porridge tomorrow, feel like absolute **** now. Just gonna cook the steak and some veggies and leave the pasta out of it. I noticed last few days after eating pasta or cereal i felt 10,000 times worse.

    I might go back the porridge myself in tandem with “nature’s candy” it tended to yield impressive results.

    The spuds have to be kerrs pink though to achieve the above results - magnificent binding in them, not like them foreign imported summer spuds.

    Anyone still employing the luxury of a paper “buffer” before unloading? You know, to prevent “splash back”?

    I’m not enjoying going without. Still suffering from the, mostly, noodle and dry foods diet but still getting “touched” by Poseidon on the regular. The beige “sludge” may well be quite viscous but it’s still hitting the water with a heavy “slap” and sending a thin jet of cold water right up at the, brown, “bullseye”.

    Some might find that soothing, or, indeed, comforting but I really don’t like it. Gives me a disconcerting “shiver” that goes right to my very bones.

    Would anyone have any recommendations on how to “avoid” this? Should I change my angle of “attack”? Maybe aim for the “slopes”? Or even give the bowl the “A.C. Slater”?
