Trap Seat

[chrisjw]

I found myself needing to replace the loo seat in the upstairs bathroom today & discovered something I never realised up until now..........There are 2 screw holes located on both seat fixings that secure said seat to the loo itself. One is centred & the other is set in front of it. However, the bit I didn't realise, was that by unscrewing the seat fixing & turning it around, the front seat fixing then becomes a rear seat fixing, thus enabling the seat to be positioned further to the front of the loo. Now this may seem uninteresting & of no consequence to the normal human being, but I have to endure the half deaf partner of my housemate ( on his visits here ), clomping up the stairs, banging the bathroom door, along with the toilet seat, 6 or 7 times a night ( weak bladder syndrome ), simply because he refuses to use the loo downstairs because the seat has a mind of it's own & has a tendency to crash down of it's own accord, mid pee, threatening to decapitate his member at any given time ( although why he seems to think he's a budding Errol Flynn defeats me, but I suppose it keeps him happy.... ). However, after my discovery today ( & the fact that West Ham, my team, have just gone 1-0 down to Mancy Utd & I lost interest ), I have just adjusted the downstairs loo seat to stop it crashing down unannounced & therefore enabling said housemates bloke from disturbing me in the future. An uninteresting snippet of information I know, but having made the discovery, I felt I needed to share it..........The End......................

Ofcourse if you put cling film across the top of the bowl, but under the seat, you'd give him something to clean up, keeping him up half the night while you got some sleep.

The other trick, which we have done in several night clubs, is to speak nicely to your local fire station.
From them obtain the two chemicals used in foam fire extinguishers. One chemical is a grey powder and this gets disolved in the cistern.
The other is a white crystal that disolves clear and goes in the pan water.
When the said toilet is flushed and the two chemicals mix, the whole toilet is immediately filled to the roof with foam.

The things we used to do furra larf!!!!

If that happened to me, I'd sh*t myself, and wouldn't have an available loo! You are cruel

I'm amazed at how many clueless bog fitters there are out there. With very few exceptions, most bog seats can be positioned so they don't crash down (some designs preclude this, of course), but yer average bog git just belts it on any old way with no thought at all.

Of course most bog seat's you can buy nowaday's are crap, and most plumbing fixtures as well, don't last two seconds, it's either made in italy or chinese, of course could be french then that would just be a hole in the floor ???
