Right.


As I am trying to work out the psychology behind everyone, so I thought I would ask a very important question, trying to get an insight into your mind, so here it is.


What do you read in the loo!?




I will start by listing what is currently the hot read in our house;


Classic Military Vehicle - Was the Soviet T34 the best tank in WW2?

Farm Life

Parish News

LRO

Viking Direct

National Sheep Association

Sugar

The Dorset Natural History & Archaeological Society membership renewal form

Interpretating the Landscape from the Air


White paper from the FC, entitled;

Working Methods in Woodlands of Mixed Coppice Origin - An Initial Investigation To Identify Opportunities For Improving The Efficiency Of Harvesting Operations

me neither ... I don't get why some people do? in fact .. talking about psychology :wink: .. i wonder what the psychology of people that DO read on the loo is all about .... why would anyone want to stay sitting on the loo any longer than necessary? ...... I suppose if you are constipated and it's a waiting game .. then you need something to while away the hours :?: but I want to crap, wipe and get out of there as quickly as possible :eek:):

does it take a bit of encouraging?

I always read on the bog. I make no distinction between what I read on the bog, at breakfast, or at night in bed. Whatever I am reading at the time. Hence it could be almost anything, bow making, tracking, property investment, stocks and shares, LOTR, Guns & Ammo, Outdoor life, Tactical Knives...

I have never had a problem in reading simultaneously to conducting normal bodily functions :roll: Its not like I need to concentrate all that hard on either. I don't spend longer sat there than I would otherwise, I just hate wasting good reading time :lol:

I like to read on the loo, and i read whever is available. At the moment it is the Wales Vs Northern Ireland official programme (2-2 :cry:). But it can be catalogues from various companies!

At the exam period (entering the last one :eek:): ) i read revision notes. Aristotle is easier to digest while on the loo for some reason!

England, half way down
Ok, the current collection includes:

A Buffy the Vampire Slayer book

How to **** in the woods

A Pratchett book

The blokes guide to pregnancy

Word puzzles book

huge pile of her magazines

odd bits of post, usually bills, useful if you run out of paper.


I was corrupted into this minor deviancy by the other half. Does anyone else find that their legs go numb after a while ? Or is that just a function of age ?

I agree Simon (about Bill Odie taking so long). To be honest I don't sped much time at all on't s*****r-just a quick in/drop/out-must be all the fresh fruits and fibre I eat?? :roll: All over in less than 10 seconds. Dad was a great one for reedin on't bog-shooting times or railway modeller; apart from him theres never been much of a tradition in't fammley

the eleven and a half minutes is the average total time spent going to the loo per day.

on average it takes a man 39 seconds while a woman take 89 seconds on average.

the formula for working out the length waiting time involves a quadratic function plus some other really complicated maths. this means that if there is teh same number of loos for man as for women the time waiting for the womens loos will be 5 times that of the mens. Thus the river dance act

edited to add: God what kind of freak am I that rememberd that?

edit number two (get it): No please don't answer that question
