Good grief, why would you want to avoid doing that. One of life's great

It is a curious thing that we are so conditioned to only pee where

remember the ****oirs in France in the 1950s and they were just a
metal shield on the pavement. Anglo-Saxons definitely have more
hang-ups about this kind of thing than other nationalities.

I recall an occasion in France when stopped at a level crossing.
The guy in the car in front stepped out, took about two paces
towards the hedge and let rip.

And in Britain if a particularly jobsworthy plod happened by, the
bloke would be arrested.

Never mind MM: I believe that on the Indian subcontinent they just have

Yes, for a bit of time now I've pondered the possibility of
constructing some sort of framework that would fit between my hips and
armpits that I could extend with a ratched to stretch my spine and
keep my back straight and stop my innards crushing themselves.

I have just paid a private Physio 50 quid to do that to my spine. The
idea being to create a bit more space for a bulged disc and my sciatic
nerve.

I suppose if you could support your shoulders with a helium balloon...

Maybe an enlarged version of those early walker frames used by

I use a wetsuit for sailing in fresh water. If you don't wash them out
they stink.

I suspect it's skin. My drysuit boots (which are not exposed to skin)
have no such problems.

I was in Jakarta once. One of the locals said to me "They wash in it
[the river, which looked more like a canal in a concrete cutting], they
do their laundry in it, they **** in it. On a good day you can see all
three at once".

It's sweat* in my case. I have difficulty peeing in a wetsuit. I use it for
swimming so sweat in it. I usually turn it inside out and give it a shower a
few times after use.

* It never feels as if I'm sweating, but dehydration sets in if you don't
drink, and when swimming hard I don't need a pee.

In hospitals, if the nurse wants a urine sample, the old trick is they
pour a jug of water into the sink. The sound makes you ****.

Moving on from that, if you go in a cowshed and take a ****, many of
the cows will start ****ing.

Just thought this was something you might need to know one day.

They've decided not to give me any more for a while. The infection after
the last one landed me in hospital for ten days.

It's only wee. Nobody's gonna die from wearing a wetsuit that's been
****ed in. Besides, if it's closed cell foam, it's not as if there's
anywhere for the wee to soak in.

Them as have prostates may care to consider their selenium status.

Thanks for that.

Having Googled for 'selenium prostate' it looks as though selenium is no
longer thought to be of any significant use.

http://prostatecancer.about.com/od/r...a/selenium.htm and a
couple of other sites I looked at seem to come up with the same
conclusion. I do like brazil nuts so I suppose a couple or three a day
can't do any harm.

Yes - I was aware of the "no use" conclusions as well. And am actually
more interested in selenium WRT other things than prostate. So was
somewhat surprised at the strong positive of that paper. Have been
taking 100 mcg a day (most days) but might up that to 200mcg. Have
always been uneasy taking any more than necessary given tolerable upper
limit is often said to be 400 mcg.
