A long wait

December 16th, 2008

Today is a momentous day.

The troubles started last week.  Someone broke the toilet seat.  I didn’t do it, and Herself claims she didn’t do it.  Sandy isn’t heavy enough so we are blaming Minnie Pig.

Actually, I do vaguely remember a strange cracking noise last Tuesday night after that lock-in down the pub, but my memory is a bit hazy about the whole night so I may be mistaken.

Anyway, the seat has had a big split in it, which could act as a rather nasty vice and could clamp the arse of anyone who sits on it.  I don’t know how Herself has been managing, but for the last week or so, I have been – how shall we say? – abstaining.

The Accidental Terrorist was passing by the hardware store in town this morning and he bought a new seat.

It’s quite fancy.  It’s wooden though it doesn’t seem to have any splinters in it.  Yet.

I have just fixed it on.

It has been annoying me for a week now.

I have been dying to get it fixed.

The relief was enormous.

    Popeye – We have similar toilets? Did yours crack too?

    JackMcMad – No thanks. I think I just had Colonic Irrigation?

    Kate – That makes a change?

    I can only wonder what you ate to make that…

    Robert – What the hell has Halloween got to do with it?

    Jim C – Two hours with a toothbrush! It was Hers. I hope she doesn’t mind?

    NaRocRoc – Sick? Moi? What are you on about? I’m as healthy as a horse.

    TheChrisD – I would imagine it was a weeks supply of pints and curries. That’s a grand mix for cleaning out the system.

    I grew up with humble beginnings. My father was a plumber and his response would be “that is the smell of money”!

    You forgot to flush!

  16. RhodesTer UNITED STATESon 17 Dec 2008 at 2:22 am

    How is it you can talk about a toilet while posting a photo like that and get all these comments? Are you magical?

  17. Grandad IRELANDon 17 Dec 2008 at 2:28 am

    Brianf – You wouldn’t have me hold back now, would you?

    Cranky – If that’s the smell of money, I don’t want any.

    Baino – No I didn’t? I posted about fixing the bathroom facilities.

    Savannah – Welcome and thanks for your kind concern. I hope you find this site a bit cleaner than Bock’s?

    Ste – Welcome to you too. There is usually only one pub involved [there's only one decent pub in the village], but there may have been twelve or so pints. I think one of them may have been a bit off?

    Paddy – I’m shocked! Of course I flushed. You don’t think I would be so uncouth as to photograph an unflushed toilet?

  19. narocroc IRELANDon 17 Dec 2008 at 11:37 am

    healthy as a horse eh? Well then I reckon you need a stablehand with a shovel and a bucket behind you after you’ve dropped the kids to the pool!!

    It looks like Barney exploded over your toilet.
