    I usually can't go when I first sit down (either type) but I go more quickly if I distract my brain with a little light reading. The doctor says my stressful life combined with excellent muscle tone means I find it hard to relax the relevant muscles. This combined with all the water I drink and my high fibre diet means it takes some work to get the solid matter out, and some time to pee out the volumes I pee. :o
  • crikey Heidi, what an informative reply!

    Agreed!

    I sit there on my galaxy phone... reading the news on apps, surfing the internet or playing games/videos.

    Of course i would not publicly admit this to my friends, they would then worry that the majority of the emails i send are from my toilet... which of course... they are.

    (will... have you got accidental damage insurance? e.g. ... water damage?... i really should get some just in case!)

    No. I think its unhygenic.
  • I have a selection of Viz annuals that live next to the toilet so you can pick and read a few strips and put it down again. The past 2 years I've also bought the Guinness World Records book to read facts but it's actually quite boring so that won't be repeated.
    It is just escapism really isn't it, nobody needs to remain in the toilet for more than a few minutes (assuming you don't have any digestive/bowel problem) but your own toilet is different from a public bog where I personally hate going.
    Work toilets are also different, but that's where angry birds on an android phone comes in handy.
  • Brought a copy of the diary of someone who lived through world war 2 in my seaside town, which I'm reading on the loo. Very interesting.

    Before that was the local Indian takeaway restaurant menu we got through the post. They really need to sort out the spelling and punctuation errors. :D
    Thought for the day: each generation of mankind tends to hug the illusion of having reached the culmination of human achievement. Yet, as we scoff at our groping ancestors, so our descendants will surely scoff at us.

  • Too embarrasing to take reading material to the loo at work. Take Blackberry and play word mole.
    Not often noticed women at work heading to the loo with a magazine, men sometimes.
    At home though, no problem
