What have you been doing today?

Good job our house has 3 loos.
My poor lads used to come home from school one by one busting for a No. 2 as they couldn't bear to go at school.

Just preferred their own loo and space.

I'd have had trouble if I didn't go to the loo at my school....it was a boarding school.

And we had Izal!

At primary we had rolls of Izal. That stuff was useless and would poss count as child cruelty in these soft, pampered times. Senior school had the slightly less abrasive stuff in a small box, but still nowhere near Andrex. I still bear the scars. Luckily the toilets were outside and you could sneak a Rothmans to calm yourself.

Worst thing about having a Donald Trump at school was the regular volley of wet bog paper that would come over the top of the cubicle when you were mid flow and couldn't defend yourself. :evil:

Used to smoke Rothmans at school.

I wanted some French fags but the old guy running the tobacconists said they would ruin my throat and sold me Rothmans instead!

First cigarette I smoked. Gold Leaf as well, because teacher used to leave them in her desk drawer sometimes.

Tried Gauloises and Gitanes on a school trip to Boulogne. Horrible. Your tobacconist was right. A cigarette that tasted like a cheap cigar. Recently stayed in a B&B in Lot and Garonne, and the owner told me the large, old wooden barn on his land used to be a drying shed for tobacco. I never realised they grew it in France, but apparently it was the dark, strong stuff that went into French cigs. Every day's a school day.
 
Mowing the grass. 1 acre! In 7 sections.

not been done for three weeks so it's taking twice as long as normal.

I remember my first, at 14, on the train, on school trip to Liverpool. They were Nelson, I really enjoyed it.

On a later school trip to Europe, I bought a pack of Ernt 23, in Germany.
 
Completely rewired my kitchen ring circuit today. Just finished. 4 twin socket outlets and 3 singles. Still got the cookers, cabinet lights and extractor to do. Some of the render is rock hard. I spent half an hour chasing out a channel from a new back box to an existing socket outlet and literally one inch from the existing socket back box there was a steel gas pipe running up the wall so I had to go down, along and up again. I have two steel gas outlet points already in that wall, about 2ft up from the floor. This pipe was 10 feet away from them and going up the wall. I didn’t even think I had gas upstairs.
