    Not sure I'll be having a dump whilst phoning her... but then I'm in a hotel room, why do I need to be sat on the toilet??

      Always wise to dump your bowels first, what if she brings her strap-on!

        why would you want to talk to anyone while you're on the toilet? Are you an animal?
        We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.

          Ok, it's like this...

          You're having a shave.

          The phone rings...

          It's reception...

          "Mr Churchill, your car has arrived!"

          "Thank you Miss Moneypenny, I'll be down shortly!"

            2 things that animals generally don't do (without training)

            1. Talk
            2. Use the toilet

            So talking whilst on the toilet is about as far from animal behaviour as you can get!

                But to my shock and discombobulation; no phone!

                  No, we have a person who does the cleaning and puts a selection of journals in a conveniently placed rack next to the throne.

                    I'm terribly sorry but hoh else would one call the butlah to wipe one's posterior? Aside from pulling the butler chain, that is.
