Anyone agree?
I have no idea what you are talking about Angie, but if RC's right I'll find out in a few years.
Too right Badge, they may be forced to wear a Burkha, and marry their butt-ugly cousins, but when it comes to toilet titilation my muslim sisters got it going on.
This all sounds terribly strange.
Here's what I want to know, if you are in a country that doesn't have loo paper but does have, what the French refer to as a 'bidet' - how do you dry your wet bum crack?
Maybe the hot air dryers are lower down in those countries.
That never occured to me, but yeah I've only expereinced them in hot countries. It just would't work in the UK, your poor bum crack would freeze over.
Yes, chapped cheeks too.

I'm not sure that's what Katie Perry had in mind...

Too late, I've sprayed her with my toilet water - if you know what I mean.

Quote: Tim Walker @ November 12 2009, 10:33 PM GMTOn a related subject, how come us men are still allowing ourselves to put up with communal urinals? It's the 21st century, for Christ's sake, and yet we're still forced to piss in troughs like cattle. My standard response now to any ultra-feminist who suggests there's still a long way to go before there's sexual equality is, "Yes, there is, Ms. Us men are still waiting for the day when, like women, we're not forced to deposit our liquid excrement, in public, into a metal tray with a couple of slithers of soap in it".
Very true, especially since a lot of men are uncomfortable/unable to wee in company, while it is routine for women to go off to the loo together.
Also, at some big events I've been to, there can be as many as 7 women's to 1 men's toilet blocks.
Quote: AngieBaby @ November 12 2009, 10:33 PM GMTI think it's so unfair that guys can just whip it out in pulic, but ladies have to queue for frikkin' miles.
While I know you're obviously being ironic, some women actually seem to believe what you've written.
Quote: AngieBaby @ November 12 2009, 9:58 PM GMTEwwww, that reminds me of a holiday in Thailand. I said to my friend I'd be happy when we didn't need to use the hole in the floor, she asked me why I wasn't peeing into the bucket. I had to explain you pee in the hole and wash it down with the water in the bucket. I'd spent the last 3 weeks scooping out my friends pee to wash away my own. Not impressed!
I was in Turkey recently and there were a lot of hole in the ground toilets. We went White water rafting and afterwards when I came out of the loo I'd said to a group of the girls how nice it was that there was a real loo. One of the girls commented, oh I'd got the hole in the ground. Turns out she'd pissed in the shower. Ooops.
If all normos became quadraspazzes for a few months they may see things differently.

What's your views Loopey. Would you be annoyed if you'd seen a "normo" using a disabled loo?

If there is no queue and no one is using the disabled toilet then I don't see why an abled bodied person shouldn't use it.
'Disabled' can mean the person has mental health problems, heart problems or some other 'invisible' disability so it is not always possible to tell if someone is using the loo because they have a special need or whether they are taking the pee by having a pee.
To answer an earlier point
"Does it hurt to make a person with disabilities cue too? It's not like they wouldn't cue for another disabled person."
Queuing to use a disabled toilet because it is being used by another disabled person is not the same as queuing to use a disabled toilet which is being used by an able bodied person, when that person has a choice and an alternative. Thankfully there are fewer disabled people than able bodied, which is why able bodied people tend to have to queue more often.
