Can we make all public conveniences on the Island Changing Places loos? And arrange to have a properly adapted loo every few hundred metres? And make it illegal for people to use them unless they can prove they need to? With fines / prison sentences (there is a prison on the Island already)?
I just thought when thinking about shower blocks that I don’t fancy them much. Given that I need a shower chair, grab bars etc, the kind of shower block that I remember from years ago probably wouldn’t be very nice.
I’m quite particular about bathrooms. I like a clean bathroom. So perhaps we should plan on making loo cleaning an aspirational career choice? With training and good rates of pay?
I definitely think we should work hard on getting the embarrassment factor removed from all bodily functions when on the Island. It maybe should be taught in schools, sort of human biology mixed in with a bit of PSH (personal, social and health education lessons). So what goes on in toilets could be given as much importance as sex education etc.
well with the amount of wind I process, no embarassment is a forgone whatsit for me and those around me.
I always let rip when going up in my sling. Poor Bev bears the brunt of it…she just leans ever so slightly back and holds her breath in a very un-obvious way and says Mmm, more tea Vicar?
Titanic often gets a mention during these moments.
Cheerful, you`re not bringing your OH are you? I didnt know they were invited!
I’m not coming without my Mr Sssue. It never even occurred to me that people might want to abandon their OHs. Obviously some might want to, but I can’t be doing without mine.
Can we make sure if we do have a shower block that all showers have an immediate drain underneath only it’s very annoying when you wee and it travels through all your Co washers cubicles to the drain !
I can’t come without Mr Flutterby either. . I mean assuming I do get my yurt he will need to wash the camels as opposed to the car no? Seriously be lost without him. . Also he is a caretaker so bound to be useful for fixing and maintenance. …
That’s a knockout idea. Let’s have a free for all.
Bring the family, friends, neighbours, carers, milkmen (I know that some ladies are fond of theirs. I’ve seen the film.)
More the merrier. I’m delighted to see that we have a dedicated camel washer. That bit was worrying me.
No need to worry B. because the AD Pattern socks will be available from all IoD Gift Shops. £3.99 a pair. Bargain.
Flutterby,I have no idea what you’re on about with wee running through cubicles. Thanks to Sue’s tireless devotion to “under the rim issues” I can only promise that IoD will have hygiene standards greatly more advanced than in your own household. (Apart from B’s farting). Which should come as a great relief to you.
In every sense of the word.
Well. it’s been a very productive weekend. As I slope off to examine the left over chicken in the fridge and mix it up with whatever is in the biscuit tin, I congratulate you all on a fine job well done. Anyone not familiar with this thread will think they’ve stumbled on a secret society of anarchists fuelled by vodka and ferrets. Which is exactly the case.
Goodnight you princes of mine, you queens of New England. Goodnight.
Just one tiny question, are all household members included in your ‘free for all’? I’m thinking specifically about pets. I’m actually not at all sure I can persuade my cat that it’s a good idea (unless he is promised all the mice and birds he can chase, catch, set free, then start again). But I assume everyone’s ferrets, hamsters, Rottweilers, poodles, etc are included. But are all pet animals, I’m thinking about large spiders (Tarantulas?) or would they threaten the Flutterbys? And of course, pet alligators, monkeys, hippos, lions etc.
Hahaha! ! I have laughed so hard I love this thread !! Mr Flutterby is thrilled if a little bemused at his invite and new role … maybe I should take the time to explain rather than tell him he’s coming on an invasion to be a camel washer (amongst other things) … no wonder he looked at me funny ! Yes Sue I certainly hope so would miss my albert to … no spiders though thank you very much… dont want to get trapped in any webs …
Hi A.D., re the previous note, I am not sure how many types of duck there are so I will be looking at my books this week.
Celebrating things today, made two journeys and didn’t have to pee in a field once.
Also, a mad few days of actually being asked to help with family things led me to pushing my granddaughter in a push chair in Tadcaster whilst everyone else sorted themselves out. I met a lady called Peggy (ex-forces) and we had a funny chat about family (she has a son who is 72) and bromide! She asked what was wrong as I was a bit shaky, with stick and trying to steer Georgia in the right direction towards home so I told her and I am now happy to announce that I have re-classified my condition as the same as Albert, her next door neighbour who also has ‘the M and S’ ha ha ha ha ha ha ha h aha.
Well you and your ilk were very firmly in mind when I thought about big spiders and other such ‘pets’ who predate on Flutterbys. I assume Mr Flutterby knows he is callled that? And is happy to join in this crazy scheme?
Well he does and is now Sssue … Thank you for thinking about predators!! I chat away about all of you and all of this … at any given opportunity… day dreams are monopolised by invasion plans … In the fog it’s all pretty clear …
Definitely a carry on!! I can wear my welsh wellies!!! Can’t go camping without wellies (snakes I don’t want, not snakes, large insects I’ll put up with, not snakes though, think I’ve mentioned snakes? xx
