Biobidet Lavatory Seat, Toilet Seat - Astor-Bannerman UK

I's used showers with fewer features than that!

I was visiting a friends parents over in what used to be the DDR and they told me a story about the building up the road from them. Apparently when the Russians came they decided to use it as a barracks but had a slight problem with the toilets. They had never seen them before and thought that they were in fact potato peelers so they filled them with potatoes, pulled the chain and nothing happened...

Makes you wonder why NATO bothered preparing for invasion. If you'd just left a load of western bogs on the border it would keep them occupied for weeks.

Oh, and bananas; that would have stopped them.

I begin to wonder quite what the esteemed customers get up to in the traps.

I had to replace my WC toilet seat today that my drunken mate broke at the weekend. He works on a building site so that goes halfway in explanation.

At the same time he also returned an amp I lent him 5 years ago and just noticed he had not returned the plug I also lent him. I even went to the trouble of attaching the plug to the amp with a bit of wire so he knew to bring it back at the same time.

No manners these day.

Ok, so how do you use this then?

Well you read the instructions on the wall, obviously.

Like this, apparently:

Nope, that's definitely wrong, he's clearly forgotten rule #1.

[EternalOptimist]

A nice gentleman is changing said lavatory seat at the moment.

He's as unimpressed by the rate of breakage as I am.

I shan't share his views on the miscreants.

some come here to sit and think
some come here to chunder
some come here to vandalise
and break the seats asunder

This was a girl I was not going to introduce to my parents.

Known a few of those, eventually ended up living with a bovver booted platinum blonde punk girl who got on, and still gets on very well indeed with my parents. Better than I do.

[Sysman]

White shoes?

Cork soled high heels, if I remember correctly.

She was a front runner for the shortest miniskirt on campus. This was a girl I was not going to introduce to my parents.

Most female students wore jeans in them days.

Back in ancient history I had a spell working at an assembly factory in a small town in Derbyshire. No migrant workers, no Bobs, not even any Celtic cousins. All locals.
But someone still went around smashing toilet seats.

At the time I assumed it was Derbyshire folk who couldn't cope with the toilet seat.

[mudskipper]

You should read Rohinton Mistry's 'Squatter' - a different perspective on the problem!

At Least

Be thankful they're using the toilet, not one cup between two girls

[Sysman]

The young lady who had caused the situation was from Essex, if that helps.

[Sysman]

Ah.

This was "a friend" so afflicted was it?



That's what they all say.

Absolutely true about the former colleague and Viagra.

I carefully left out the incident at college...

I remember "my mate" cursing that the showers were the fixed head variety...

[Sysman]

And what, precisely, is Mr Bottom-Right trying to do?

I know that one. Huge stiffy which won't go away and he wants to pee.

As a former colleague reported after taking double the normal dose of Viagra.
