        There was a lull in the conversation, so I said I knew he was ill. He had been home from Dubai for 3 days - no fresh flowers in the bathroom!

        He sister then made a joke about him being gay - to which his gf(Romanian with bad English) said "oh he is most definetly not". His sister said "too much information".

          There then followed a series of calls to "grab a doc". Eventually he had to go to hospital. I went to look after his sister's kids so she could go to hospital with him.

                I took the kids to burger king for lunch - then ran them ragged so they will sleep well tonight.

                I was due to take the twins for dinner - but they came over. We then had KFC for dinner.

                Landlord out of hospital and doing fine - he was abroad for 20 days doing 16 hour work days. He was back 5 days - but clearly needed more rest.

                  Why is it always the toilet where people pass out / keel over / generally have issues?

                      passing out while on the toilet - Undiagnosed Symptoms - MedHelp

                      "It has to do with the stimulation of the vagus nerve, which runs in the vicinity of the anal sphincter. When the vagus nerve is irritated it lowers the heart rate. This, in turn lowers the blood pressure and the person passes out. It is the reason many cardiac arrests are found on the toilet."
