I was sitting on the loo when...

Reading material in 'the library'

A copy of Fortean Times
A Fat Freddie's Cat compendium
The most recent issue of Railway Modeller
A copy of .net magazine

My son is often heard chuckling to himself as he leafs through the compendium. An extended stay means that he's reading Fortean Times.

Reading on the bog is most definately a bloke thing, it can even be accompanied by a cup of tea or coffee to make the experience more enjoyable. Take the phone in with you to avoid missing a call and you're sorted.

Funny how ladies don't appreciate things like this, but then they poo rose scented sachets.

I think you should add "The Lady's Dressing Room" by Jonathan Swift to your collection...

Eeek! I've just read it. I think Martin Amis must have read this just before he wrote The Rachel Papers as there's a similar passage when he's rooting through Rachel's possessions.

Celias not high on personal hygiene is she.

My 10yr-old daughter must be an exception then - she disappears in there with a book and it's often 45 minutes before she emerges again.

A real chip off the old block!

I've got a cycle parts mag. and back copies of Cycle magazine. Not sure why, but looking at various Shimano & Campag cassettes and chains eases the process.

I've never understood this phenomenon of reading a book, or doing an Araucaria crossword whilst defacating.

Personally, if i feel i need a crap i go to the toilet and, without any grandstanding or paraphenalia, curl one off and resume what ever i was doing.

A gaping anus and a feeling of anticipation is not conducive to reading a good book i would of thought.

That depends upon the book.

I've got a subscription to FHM for the toilet. I wouldn't normally buy it (nearly £4!), but I'm getting them for a quid each and they last a month of poos

Other top reads are pizza shop leaflets, CO-op's latest offers magazine....and loads of crap from Virgin Media.

When I go on overseas trips I always buy a bike mag, the thicker the better, to read in the hotel bog. You simply can't sit in a bog and do nothing. By the end of my 12 day trip I will have read the mag from cover to cover including all those ad pages with the tiny offers.

I did a quick audit of the bowl-side (bowel-side?) library and was most alarmed to discover that it consisted almost entirely of faintly right-wing offerings from the Spectator, cartoons about dogs, and the installation manual for a Potterton Suprima boiler. All these might suggest an appalling level of constipation that is, in fact, entirely absent.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

I just had a quick look at the list of topics:


"I Was Sitting on the Loo when..." and the reply was by slowmotion.



Sorry...hahahahahahahah!

Bugger!

I am revealed as a total fraud!

Shimano for number ones and Campag for number twos?

You must have a large bladder if you can peruse Shimano cassettes while taking a leak.
