    I was in a German hotel once last year and I was woken up by the toilet running. Water was constantly running down into the bowl.

    I lifted the lid off, and it was obvious: a bit of a design flaw meant it was possible for the arm to get stuck and so the ball didn't float up. I unstuck it and it was fine. Obviously this German toilet didn't overflow outside, like we tend to have, but down the bowl, so it seemed like it was constantly flushing by itself.

    No wonder we won the war. Superior toilet design.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

      Is that sarcasm? I would not call a toilet that overflows instead of auto flushing down a better designed toilet...

        A ghost flush for a ghost turd?

          It is nothing to worry about. It is likely just a poltergeist or similar entity. Get yourself a couple of bottles of Holy Water for sprinkling, hang garlic around the place, and hermetically seal the bathroom and it is job done.
          For emergencies you might want to keep a couple of empty Paul Masson wine bottles under the bed. In case you get caught short in the night, you know?
          Piece of cake!

            Clue, it isn't Swindon.

            My new house has sixty eight 50w halogen downlighters. I've arrived.

              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                      The tart you picked up last night after all those tequila slammers just left, she wasn't happy you fell asleep so she took your wallet, left a log and an earing in the bed.
