    Are you kidding me? I get an “earful” nearly every weekend.

    That’s with opening the window, lighting matches, lighting candles and even burning hair to try “mask” the smell.

    Silence me hole.

    Went to the gym this morning before work. Got home with about twenty minutes to spare to shower and get ready for work when my housemate decides that would be the perfect time to take a dump. The ****ing fent the bastard left in there is unreal. ****er didn't even open the window or use the bottle of Fabreeze I bought. I was about ten minutes late for work too. This means war.

    Apparently he overindulged at a seafood banquet the previous evening.

    Scallops were on the turn according to those in the know.

    Might even have been sabotage....it happened the All Blacks in 95 allegedly.

    The “theory” goes that a waitress named “Suzie” was the source of the poisoning. I believe it was delivered through the tea that the team drank with breakfast.

    She was hired a few days previous and then “disappeared” the day of, indeed, after. No one has been able to locate or identify this woman.

    Perhaps he was looking into seafood crisps. Dragons Den put a stop to that.

    Sonia O'Sullivan helped herself as well.

    She should've let you in the side gate and then blasted you with the garden hose. Like that scene in First Blood, if you have decent water pressure.

    Hopefully the contributors to this esteemed senate of debate and intellectual enquiry will forgive me for going off on a bit of a tangent, but something has been bothering me for quite some time.

    Has anyone noticed a dramatic decrease in the quality of branded underwear? Usually operate a 10 pair rota - new pair of boxers daily with 3 spare pairs for overnights or emergency changes. So washed once a week. The gusset is giving up on them after about 3 months though - holes developing in the crotch and sump area. Using premium washing powder and conditioner and putting them on a 40 degree wash at 1000 revolutions per minute. All within the standard operating manual.

    Now we’re not talking Brendan Bendar specials here - 14 pairs of yellowing briefs routed out from the final reductions bin in Guineys. No, I’m talking premium brands - Pringle, Bjorn Borg, Calvin Klein etc.

    Is this yet another sign of the death of quality and the late stages of capitalism? Poor quality cotton won’t last long when in daily contact with the naturally acidic qualities of ball grease and sump oil.

    Johnny I’m having the same issue. We’re talking mainly the stalwart Calvin Klein. Getting 6 months if I’m lucky before small holes being to appear. I originally put it down to my more than generous gentleman’s region but one can only delude one’s self for so long. I have to say though Tommy Hilfiger makes a robust and sturdy boxer short

    Now now Johnny you sound a bit angry - are the worn jocks itching your barsal region by any chance ?
    Some vaseline should do the trick - apply liberally.
    - it's a microsoft teams meeting, so we are at our desks headsets on and could be called to speak at any moment - leaving is difficult, I'm not on my phone boards is open on another tab, not hard to make a quick post.

    I'm not a civil servant - I wish I had that kind of job security!

    And the meeting ended soon after, I made it into a trap to shotgun blast the pewter with fresh midden!!

    Lately I'm not too happy with the state of the traps in here, one of them is "out of order" so we are down to 3 traps for the men.

    As a result they are busier and a worse pong than usual.

    John, very upset about that remark but won’t descend to the gutther to ripost.

    What’s wrong with your high end jocks is your crappy diet, fcuking Supermacs burgers five days a week, and processed food the other two, topped up with gulling back liters of cheap beer and shortdated food.

    That and poor hygiene

    This diet John, produces bag soup and crack drittle which would work its way through Olympic standard yacht sails, in less than a month.

    A suggestion would be to get the area fully waxed,change your diet, and take a shower around once a week.

    Keep the cluster dry, Caldescene is good and work a soft toothbrush behind the neck of the ‘helmet’.

    For info, the Brenner has no undergarment difficulties despite operating in the lower end of the undergarment division, good slather of Savlon keeps the purse nicely ‘free’ and the neck of the unit well moistened.

    Think of a arse bleach as well, could be just the thing, John.

    I have found Ralph Lauren Polo jocks rock solid- TKMaxx all the way. Years of wear and not a sign of any holes. Granted they are no longer the pristine black they once were on leaving Hanoi all those years ago but still good. Still give that flattering "well rounded" bulge. Whereas a few M&S jocks of similar vintage are only fit for cleaning the car.

    I'm using the Tokyo Laundry ones out of TK Max , comfortable but not to clingy and snug so damn all sweating when the pressure comes on.
    I don't look for too much longevity in jocks anymore, feck the carbon footprint. I like a new 3 pack fairly often and get rid of the other ones as soon as they show signs of wear or getting bally in the wash

    Lads, keep it close to home with "Vedoneire". Utterly soft,yet with a tenacious hold on the "boys".

    No swing,dropout or bounce.

    Highly absorbent of the horrors that can lurk around them there bits.

    Almost scratchproof, but will put up the battle against the "seam ream"when called upon.

    Refuses to build up a fent on the hottest summers day

    I'm very impressed by them.

    Apology accepted, U. These things happen. Looking back on it now it was a good “dig”.

    The brown bread is a real sly dog. I’ve been eating a bit myself lately. Too much, really. I’ve found that I still have my late night “visit” but my morning/afternoon ones have all but vanished.

    The farts are, as I’ve heard said on here, “wojus”. Really stinks, like something died up there. No difficultly in getting out the bolus, itself, but it’s a long smelly day.

    Would not like to add any “fish curry” to that mix. Hope you’re holding up well. Or as well as can be.

    Had an awful day yesterday, wasn't arsed getting a proper lunch so dropped into Lidl and picked up two of their sandwiches, egg mayo and a BLT. Nice sandwiches I have to say. But the bread did NOT agree with me; my intolerance to wheat or whatever it is flared up. Was on the drive home from work and the cramps were unbearable, I was genuinely concerned i'd let a squirt out straight into my pants.

    Landed the car in the garage arseways, left the door open and jogged as fast as my clenched buttocks would allow down the garden. The cramps with me come and go and like clockwork, as soon as I put the key in the back door, the pain disappeared. Time I thought to get the wood stove lit. No sooner had I the match struck, the cramps returned with vengeance, near dropped a load straight onto the dining room floor. This time it was proper urgent, I ran for the stairs and bundled into the toilet and emptied a constant stream of hot arse chowder into the pan. No time to paper down so the collateral damage wasn't pleasant. As soon as I stood up, the cramps started again and I went for round two.

    I felt like death still and 20 minutes later I was back in for round three. And no lie, round four just before bed. At that stage it was time for a shower, I felt like a filthy, empty, drained man. A traumatic ordeal for the arse and mind alike.

    Supermarket sandwiches are the work of the devil and should be avoided at all costs. If I were in your shoes I'd chance calling in sick tomorrow and take a long weekend to recuperate. You have to build yourself back up and face next week's gastric challenges head on.

    I said it to you before Voodoo - not all of this gluten free thing is a fad. There's coeliacs who get sick to f**k if they have a trace of the stuff, and then there's wheat intolerant people who might get away with eating a certain amount, or their tolerance goes down over time. That's what happened to Mrs D, was grand for years and then developed an intolerance.

    Go totally gluten free for a few weeks and see how you get on. There are various types of bread out there, some are horrible some are ok. Some decent GF beers. You can drink any cider, wine, or spirits.

    I'll bet money your ringpiece will thank you :)

    BTW I'm still eating as much gluten as I ever did. It's perfectly healthy for people who aren't intolerant to it.
