View Full Version : Crap Weather for August!
Ah, bog roll.... Are you pre-empting the effects of the curry later, and may I ask what's your favourite choice of 'paper'?:eyebrows:
i see you as a diehard Andrex man.
Marco.
The shop only offer a choice of Andrex or Happy Shopper. I went with Andrex.
On initial inspection the Happy Shopper would appear to offer much better value, 4 rolls in the pack whereas Andrex is only 2 and yet it is still cheaper than Andrex. But I know from experience that the rolls are wound so loose there's maybe in total half the amount of paper you get on one roll of Andrex.
Good you've thought about these things properly, as a man's choice of toilet tissue defines him.
I swear by Cushelle.
Marco.
Cushelle is a quality brand.
as an expert it the art of bog roll, there is no beating tesco's own brand soft stuff in the purple pack... trust me:eyebrows:

best by far... doesnt melt like others :D
Noted. Does it sook up well, and not just 'spread'? Some quality quilting, in my experience, helps deal with slops.
Anyway, we need the definitive opinion of Piggurs/Captain Skidmark, our resident purveyor of poo... I believe he favours Izal, as its 'unique qualities' are legendary.
Marco.
Not too soft, but strong.. Can handle most messes.. Even yours lol
Those silly soft ones ain't up to it
Yesh, but you have the reassurance of knowing that anything 'missed' will be taken care of by your Tena pants:D
Marco.
Tena are shite... Well that's the point I guess

Not a fan of Izal bog paper. Its just too smooth, the effect being not unlike spreading butter on toast :(
My requirements change from day to day, and reduce as the week wears on. Monday dump needs at least 5 wipes (honestly I don't know where it all comes from), whereas by Thursday I'm heading into "Ghost shite" territory. This is when a wipe reveals nothing on the paper. These are good days, and I'm sometimes tempted to replace it on the roll for the next person to use.
Don't know which make we buy, I'll be sure to ask her when she gets back. She doesn't keep them in the packaging (just checked), just leaves them piled up in the bathroom cupboard looking like Corinthian columns, but without the fancy scroll bit on top.
I remember when I was a kid, there was an emporium of tat called "Billy's Joke shop", where you could buy itching powder, plastic dog turds, and special bog paper which looked like Izal, but was discretely extra thin in the middle, right where your finger tips would be. No doubt this would have been one of Health & Safety's first casualties.
Izal was all you got when we were young. Shiny bog roll and u also got it in leaf flat packs. Better with newspaper lol

We went to “The UK’s Largest Joke Shop” (allegedly) in Hunstanton yesterday, and yes, it was a joke, compared to what I remember. No itching powder, no stink bombs. But my son did buy some fake poo which he has been playing with ever since... and both kids wanted a pen with a loo on the top which a turd pops out of... you can’t beat toilet humour!

That pen sounds like the business, do they have an online shop? And if so can anyone shop there, or do you have to "log in" first?

Like that pen! Would be a big hit with my customers.
The dog poo is quite a bit paler than I remember them being, probably a reflection of modern canine diets. The product name used to be "Mucky Pup" - I couldn't afford one, so I had the "Mucky Puss" which was smaller and a shilling cheaper.

Good guesses but all wrong, I went there for bog roll.
Also fitted a new front door and painted the front of the house. Or at least some blokes did whilst I sat inside watching TV. Have done a bit of hoovering though.
Hope you could drag yourself away from "Murder She Wrote" long enough to make them a brew. We like to stay hydrated you know :)
