I think we're probably all pussies until we have children. You spend the
first 4 years doing little else but cleaning up ****

Four years? Gawd, our youngest worked out what to do at 2y2m and never
got it wrong after that.

Yebbut some find their nappies are too comforting/comfortable. By the
time they're four, they're like old codgers & rather set in their ways.

You think that finishes at 4? More like 34.

I will go sky diving, but I will not touch poo. No thanks.

Never think of getting a dog, then.

So do I pay a huge call out fee & get it unblocked?

Get your hands on a wooden handle mop with a large head and a mop bucket.
Note, do not use the tiny domestic mop heads.
When the water level is low, use the mop as a plunger a few times.
Flush and try again if the toilet does not empty.
Repeat ad infinitum.
I have used this method at the local primary school with 100 percent
success.

Good luck

Dave


I DID THIS!! IT WORKED A TREAT


THANK YOU!!!!!!

I went to Woolworths, paid £6 or a vileda mop.

Shoved it down the hole, hit the flush button

Then I anticipated the worst - the water overflowing and flooding my
floor with ****ty water

But instead, when i lifted the broomstick the blockage had gone!!!

I flushed it again, got a massive can of dettol and sprayed it
everywhere

just been to supermarket ... got Parazone bleach and a three more cans
of dettol. I am going to spray my entire bathroom


So dave - THANKS!

If you'd got it at Argos you could have taken it back within 16 days :-)

Be careful mixing bleach and other cleaning agents. Chlorine fumes can
be emitted (and I think dettol is Phenol based, which isn't very nice
either).

You do realise the agent is going to be very suspicious at the next
inspection - a student with a very clean bathroom - they'll be wondering
what you've been doing in there.

How're things with the girlfriend now?

SWMBO might *just* look after the baby in the main. But the dog you'll
have to clear up after if you don't want lynched on the common...

It's a time-honoured usenet tradition to make clandestine raids on other
groups ... it's been a while since we had a nice holiday over in uk.rec.motorcycles

We are always watching though, our spies are everywhere .. ;)
