    The toilet is still blocked and now there is a tulipty bottle of water in the bin.

There was a whopper of a stool in the pan when he lifted the lid. Forever-after she was known as Mrs Heavypoo.
    Please stay on topic.

    Could just be 'The Change' at your age. You could always join the old man's support group, but it's mainly aimed at working ladies.

    In Virgin Active AldersGate automatic flush is installed. Very awkward to use. Never sure it will actually work.

The wife says its a problem with very young children at school, they have to be trained to do it, but surely even the thickest adult knows what the little lever is for?
    If its yellow let it mellow, if its brown flush it down.
