to find books and magazines by the toilet unnecessary and unhygienic

[SunsetMojito]

I have even seen a magazine rack placed helpfully beside one!
Boak!
and how long to you actually need to spend in there that you cannot manage without reading?

Is there anything finer than the 'weekend poo' with book/mag/newspaper/phone?

I have a pile of books on the window sill next to my toilet. No-one else uses my bathroom though so maybe it isn't as bad.

My sister has a good collection of mags, always enjoy a visit to her bathroom. I can't imagine they are dirty, she takes cleaniness to a crazy level, knowing her she probably disinfects them regularly.

we dont have a cabinet

um yeah... i think im gona get one now

I have to say I feel a disproportionate amount of anger when I read the word 'Aqua' on the back of a shampoo bottle.

It's fucking water so why not say so?

It's Latin water, innit?

Apple dumpling! Hahaha!

Oh I read the back of everything too.

I'm very excited if I find there's a voucher promotion or whatever on.... more to read!!

Further apple explaination needed Green. Although her being from Duneeegalll explains a lot. Why do they talk through their noses? Why?

I can't poo without reading. If I'm somewhere other than home, I must sneak my phone into the toilet so I can read something. When toilet training DS, my mother advised me to sit him on the toilet and read to him until he did a poo. It worked very well for her when training me, she said. Thanks mum!

Oh yes, "aqua" makes me apopleptic every time. They're wankers, the shampoo-ingredient listing people.

Laughed like a drain at What if there's no pen for the crossword?

When DP was a child, his dad used to have a TV on a trolley that was wheeled into the bathroom every Sunday, so that he could have a mammoth dumping session, while watching the box.

Makes a few magazines seem tame!

If two doors can't stop it, I doubt a single cabinet door can.

Just me with the alphabet game then
It's as simple as it sounds, you have to find all the letters of the alphabet on one bottle! You need proper stuff, none of this organic, no ingredients shite as all the x's and z's are found in the nasty ingredients at the end Like I said though, J's are a bastard to find.

I love the made up ingredients often found on goods by Laboritoire Garnier the best.

I dont get to poo in peace now my toddler busts in and at the moment he likes to rub my shins with emery boards.

I did an experiment for a science competition when I was at school

I found that there were more moulds and bacteria in the school corridors than the loos. (My experiment did not identify the types of mould or bacteria, just the number - I was only 12!)

So munch away in the loo, but not in a school corridor!

DH reads the Argos catalogue. We have to make a trip every time they issue one for new reading matter.

If I'm in there for any length of time I also start reading the info on the back of the shampoo/bubble bath bottles

Cross posts, Aqua is an essential part of the alphabet game, it regularly provides the Q!

Exactly!

No-one ever says, "Can you stick some aqua in the kettle love and we'll have a brew".

Well no-one who doesn't need a smack in the chops...

I have now started buying Alberto Balsam conditioner from the pound shop for nit combing purposes, since I read the back of a bottle at my friends house and found that if you save the codes on the bottles, you get free day out codes!

It can pay to be a bog reader!

omg - i am just seeing never ending poo colonies now marching over everything by the loo.

When I lived in a shared house one of the boys took one of my cookbooks out of the kitchen and read it while having a poo ; I later found it on the side of the bath! (book not poo) AFAIR I chucked it as it made me feel a bit sick to touch it while cooking after that.

So, YANBU!

*Whispers" what a brilliant idea, next time I'm stuck in Mojito's boring loo I'll see if she's left something to play it with under the sink.

I found a J whispers

Would you like me to tell you where? Needless to say it wasnt on the nail varnish remover bottle, turns out that there is bugger all in that! Not even an F!

Oh oh I know why they use aqua and not water!!! Its because it has to be readable globally and there is a global index of ingredients that have latin names so people all over the world know what it is. I'm pretty sure its called an INCI
