OT Road trip - women and toilet stops
Just for fun.
A simple 175 miles drive in the morning with the gf. (J38 of M1 to J4 of M1 and then a small bit of driving on A roads) How far[1] before she says "I need a wee"? Closest guess to the answer wins a virtual pint. [1] In miles as I assume the road will be clear. -- Adam |

Normal activities in our cool climate and 2/l spread through the day is about right.

That is very arguable. Any thing less and yellow urine and you are getting getting dehydrated. And so is that. How much water that means consuming depends on the what you are doing and the climate. Normal activities in our cool climate and 2/l spread through the day is about right. I don't personally drink anything like that even in our summer. I don't in fact drink anything at all at breakfast or during the day either even in summer unless I am going for a long walk for exercise. And by long walk I mean 6Km for 1.5 hours. In that case I do have a glass of water before leaving and normally leave early enough so I am back before its got over 25C. I do drink 750ml of a bit better than full strength beer in the evening, half before dinner and the other half with dinner. But somewhere dry and hot day and the required fluid intake rockest up, ISTR drinking 5 or 6 l / day out in 40 C desert conditions. I never drink anything like that and we can have 10 days in a row over 40C. Oh and the "I'm thirsty" feeling kicks in quite late after dehydration has started. I don't do it on feeling thirsty. |

None of which of course has anything to do with the fact that you live in a corrugated iron shack you built for yourself in the back of beyond; 50 miles away from the nearest "town", or mains water supply. Maybe if you watch "Crocodile Dundee", or "Ray Mears in the Outback" a few more times, they might give you some ideas on how you might augment your supply. michael adams .... |

Is she far too coy to use the phrase and instead refer to the little girl's room? Or too coarse, and will request a pish stop instead? Or is she in the manner of demanding to stop at any roadside inn or burger van and say "I need a wee refreshment"? Or is she agile enough to go out the car window at 60 mph? Anyway, I'll guess 22 miles or 20 minutes after the last cup of tea, whichever is the sooner. Owain |

According to the adverts, sensitive bladder has an over the counter
treatment these days. I think I need the male version. I can walk about all day, sit in cars all day, but lay me down on a sofa for a couple of hours, and when I get up i need to pee. its all to do with pressure from other organs I am told and everybodys guts dangle in different ways. Not much help I know.... Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff... Blind user, so no pictures please! "ARW" wrote in message ... Just for fun.

Only the product name is new to the market, not the active ingredient. And this particular herbal remedy is not available on an NHS script even if, for you, it works and normal remedies don't!) tim |

We had done about 160 miles when she said "There are some services in 6 miles can we stop there please" She then got the good news that I was turning off at J4 and that J4 is about 5 miles before the services. -- Adam |
