    A query for all you fine gentlemen about an issue that's being examined in another thread.

    How would you recommend one approaches the elimination of skid marks with one's own urine? "Blasting with piss", if you will.

    Hi L, this “process” works fine for any, stubborn, detritus clinging to the sides, or back, of the bowl but for the underwater marks you’re at the mercy of the flush.

    To get rid of the outer skids you just have to take aim and add a bit of pressure to the “stream”. For maximum “clearance” a man would want to pull the hood back a little. Really focuses the “impact”, wouldn’t want to be wearing cream chinos though.

    Hope that helps.

    Very helpful as always, Emmet. I'll check with my friend, but I think it's "the bottom of the bowl" marks that are the issue. It does explain his frustration, but looking at the positive side of things, at least he's well hydrated.

    Might not be to your friends taste Leg End but if it's a third party sinkhole then all's fair.
    First point of call, is there a face cloth lying idle? Just hang it over the head of the toilet brush and scrub as needed. Return face cloth to position, clean or unclean at your, sorry his, discretion.
    Is there a bowl of pot pourri around? If so just throw the whole lot, bowl as well, into the toilet and say nowt. The owners will be so upset cleaning and crying over the whole Feng Shui being ruined they won't notice the brown skidmarks lurking underneath.
    Lastly, and one I've not road tested yet, is just shiite up on top of the cistern. Leave a brown loaf so much so that by the time they get to the offending skidmarks down in the gulley, they'll be delighted to get to the end of it.

    My take on it anyways.

    The water in the bowl takes the “sting” out of the flow so will have very little impact on the skids at the base.

    If there’s no brush another, more drastic, option is to roll out a load of jacks roll and twist it up so that it is both long and sturdy. This can then be pushed into the water and used to remove a small bit at a time. If it’s been twisted enough you’ll get more than a few goes at it but you’d still want to be quick.

    You might need to make 2, or even 3, of these “rods” to clear the mess completely. Or just loosen it enough so that the flush takes it. Just be sure not to get your hands wet.

    If it’s not your house, as I said earlier, a few “sheets” left on top of the water is the best way to deal with it. Out of sight, out of mind. Another, more extreme measure is to just fill the bowl with paper and flush. Can lead to blockages but on the 4th or 5th flush the porcelain will be clear.

    Wish your “friend” luck.

    Shunted out a massive ‘panjammer’ only 30 minutes ago. Had to attack it with the brush to get rid of it. Hanging around and out staying its welcome like the in-laws.

    Feel nice and empty now so time to crack the skull open on my first can of Guinness. Have a fierce lip on me for a dozen cans or so.

    Well you've a great start made John, in dire need of a battenburg bunt myself here, should have done it earlier before I opened the Redbreast. Sweating and getting restless watching some shiite she has on.

    I'm not certain women should be allowed in this thread.

    Just shunted out a slimly slender load with something of the likeness of presidential hopeful Joseph Biden to it . Few kernels, flax seeds, and a whiff of petroleum and boiled hot dogs.

    Feral boozing in the deep south, made two major deposits won a handsome return on the nags tonight, christmas debauchery sorted. Wiped my ring with a beautiful large Sycamore leaf, nice and moist , felt very much at nature doing so, almost neanderthal. An cac samhain a rinne mè, agus bhì sè go hailainn.

    I recall attending a mates 40th party in his house last year. It was about 2am and only 7 or 8 attendees were left, all having the craic in the sitting room. I slinked off to lay some pipe, walked out of the room phone in hand, eluding to the fact I had a call to make when in fact I had full intentions of stinking the ground floor out after a night of scoffing three plates of chicken curry, 5 kebab skewers and 14 bottles of Tiger.

    Slipped into the WC under the stairs where it so happened there were numerous coats hanging on the back of the door. "That's odd I thought", as countless Kursk-class monsters were depth-charged into unfamiliar waters. The exhaust gases were offensively eye-watering, so I thought it best to stand up sans-wipe and open the paltry excuse for a window behind the sink. It was a quite the stretch; you know the type of window, the size of a postage stamp yet you still need to stretch as far as you can to get it open as wide as you can.

    Whilst doing so, with the co-ordination of a blind darts player, I knocked over a substantial lit scented candle. It landed straight in the sink, catapulting hot wax all over the floor, the walls, and all the coats on the back of the door. There I was, cacks around my ankles, pissed, a sh1tty arse and melted wax bloody everywhere.

    I spent a good 10 minutes scraping the wax off the floor and coats and flicking it into the jacks. Once I felt I did enough (which was no where near enough), I shuffled the coats around so no-one would see their new wax coatings. Everyone knows lit candles are only grand for the first 2 hours of pints, they should then be swiftly extinguished for everyones sake.


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


    At least you didn’t get hot wax on your cluster and/or hoop.

    You’re not a Tory senior minister are you?

    Picked up a pack of flushable wipes.

    I don't think I can go back to bog roll ever again.

    My hole feels spotless, refreshed, moisturised and squeaky clean and absolutely no tear on it from the bog roll. They also leave a nice scent on the ring piece.

    99c for 40 wipes. Bye Bye bog roll.

    Please, J, do the world a favour and do not flush them. They don’t “break down”, they still cause blockages and they are terrible for the environment.

    Throw them into a little bin beside the toilet, like a Greek.

    Are you on a public sewer or private septic tank /treatment plant Jim ? If it's the latter I wouldn't use too many of those wipes . They'll flush alright but mightn't go far past the u bend .

    A friend of mine, lived with him for a few years in a Bedsit in Crumlin during the late 80s or possibly early 90s. Not unusual for him to polish off 14 roasters and the best part of a chicken carcass of a Sunday roast. I used to tell him to crap in his mother’s jax before he came home on a Sunday evening the smell would be that bad. Anyway we were all out one night in town. Might have been a stag or something. Ended up in a run of the mill restaurant before we hit the pubs / clubs. I vividly remember him eating about 5 bowls of garlic mushrooms before he even got near his mains and desert. Ended up in Rumours nightclub absolutely trounced. I can’t bear witness to this, but apparently he threw a crap in the men’s and after he left, the velvet rope was across the doors for the rest of the evening ! It was that bad! Is that even possible ?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,078 ✭✭✭IAMAMORON


    I would say yes, especially if he was mixing Guinness, Ritz and Satzenbrau and chasing with shots of Paddy or Tullamore Dew. I would say his farts after gunging on Garlic Battered Mushrooms were seismic, he most likely cleared the dance floor on several occasions. An animal , he sounds deplorable.

    Congrats on the “pristine” hole though, I may have lost sight of that in my initial rush to protect the environment.

    Pristine Hole ? Minds me of a slightly derogatory remark from one of the mourners at poor Freddy Mercury's burial.

    "First clean hole he was ever in"

    Not true I'm sure...... and very distasteful.

    Did a job last week for a homeowner with a plumbing issue where the toliet was backing up. Nasty old oaf had the foul line all clogged up with nonbiodegradable smelly freckle wipes ("face wipes" he called em). We dredged up a few hundred of the things and all the while this gobchite is standing right beside us the whole time pointing at this and then pointing at that giving orders getting a great kick out of the whole thing. I'm looking left talking to this cretinous gobchite that can't even keep his own drain lines clear giving me a full blown sermon on on the state of america and some chite about Snowden taking refuge in Russia, and why didn't we do this and why didn't we try that and did we usually work with so few men, then looking right and seeing the same lad's wet wipes all run through with streaks of brown and the odd circular patch where he must have dug his fnger in. Was supposed to call back this morning but it was a no show.

    What does Freddy Mercury and Ayrton Senna have in common.


    They both died with skid marks on their helmets :pac:

    Women tend to be a lot more delicate when discussing this most important of topics. Many express their disgust at even the suggestion of talking about it.

    I’ve yet to meet a woman who cocked her leg, let an absolute ripper of a fart go, and then exclaimed ‘Aah, Bisto!’ in front of a packed pub.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 348 ✭✭Trouser Snake


    Women are far better at keeping the dirty stuff for the bedroom I find. Was shocked at Ms Balboas admissions earlier in the thread but she's just the tip of the iceberg I'd imagine.

    Hard weekend on the sauce, on shiite number 5 today. It's like the engine is turning over but not firing down there, hot backed-up splats followed by short runny vile liquids.

    The front edge of the sphincter is red raw.

    I had to open my business today for a few hours, and asked one of the lads to come in and give me a hand. I was out last night watching the Liverpool game, and I've a stage 6 hangover as a result. :(



    Anways, it got to about half 10 and I felt my 'sheriff's badge' starting to twitch. Headed into the jacks and dropped a serious anchor into Brown Water Bay. I was sitting there afterwards on my phone when what do I hear but the jacks door opening, and someone heading into the stall beside mine. Down go the trousers, a slight groan, a string of watery farts, and then a noise that sounded like a box of old boots being thrown out of an attic. A smaller fart to finish up, and a deep exhalation of breath. :eek:



    I was shocked, and very angry. Am I overreacting, or should the fúcker have waited until I had finished using the boombox before he decided to go and pinch one out? He's an Eastern European, so don't know if they have different cultural norms. I didn't say a word to him for the rest of the morning, and am in a shocker of a mood since. :mad:

    It is a brass thing that Sheriffs wear on their lapel to indicate to the general public that they are the sheriff.
