I never knew that…….

GSM I have seen it and when we toured many years ago they had the authentic smells. ?

I can't believe what I'm reading on this thread!! TMI ++.

Perhaps some people are eating a little too much fibre?!
Has anyone seen the enormous, eye-watering poo at the Viking museum in York? That would have taken some dealing with in a modern loo!

Some people have a poop knife. Basically, a dedicated knife that you use to break up particularly large logs so you don't block the loo. (I'm serious. No, we do not have one.)

I use a “toilet duck” to break up a log, pop the paper wedge onto the stick and use it to cut the log into smaller pieces! Too much information? Blame the gin and tonic!

LauraNorderr ????? haven't read passed your post - tape measure ???

I also never knew there are such things as spoons specially for spaghetti - so I had no idea about the holes.

I never knew that some of the numbers on a road map relate to the junction numbers of motorways.
A friend, helping me to plan a route, thought I was being sarcastic when I said that.
I genuinely didn't know - probably because I live far from motorways so drive on them very infrequently.

I was expecting responses such as; I never knew the hole in the spaghetti spoon was to measure a portion of spaghetti.

We are clearly all very lavatorial?.

The Yule log is ordered, too late for me?

Is this for real? I'll never be able to buy a yule log again.
???

I remember Captain Kirk (well, maybe the actor) making some crack joke about the captain's log.

Leaving biological washing powder in it (and the lid down) for an hour or two as long as you can and then flushing sometimes works, if no-one has been in there while it is soaking and flushed it prematurely.

I have never used a plunger but a mixture of white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda has worked twice in the past. That usually unblocks a toilet, although maybe not if someone has put sanitary items down there.

Oh my I certainly didn’t know that agnurse ?

That’s decided, definitely no Yule log in this house this Christmas

Men put 'logs' down the loo - use your imagination!

Yes I agree.... and they wonder 'how is that going to go round the bend? just talking about this very subject with my adult son and advising him what he needs to get for his home.

I’ve left a tape measure next to the loo.
I’ll get back to you

I hold my hand up and admit it's me who has blocked the toilet in the past (Fibrogel is helping me now!). When it happened in the past I had to resort to buying a loo unblocker from A****n - it arrived the next day and worked a treat
It's like a plunger but bigger and comes with a holder to store it in.

Simple

I don’t think men pass anything bigger than women actually, well not in some years of my experience.
A plunger is one of those sim0e household tools that works every time.

Talking of plungers I only found out this week that a car dent can be removed with one plus boiling water. My plunger is sitting by the door to remind me to try the method on the dent I received from a lady who drove out of the school drive into me. My car is not new so I decided not to bother with insurance. Here is the video.
boiling water and plunger dent removal

We had a macerator on an ensuite which suddenly stopped working - DH took it outside to inspect - clean as a whistle but a guest must have put a Tampax type thing down as the string was wound round the machinery! That removed all was well.

Maybe a bit but worth it for the result.

From a great height … no splash back?

I have never used a plunger for a toilet or sink.
Drain unblocker, followed by buckets of water poured from a height, has worked on the rare occasions it's been needed.
