mjmooney Posted July 17, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2020 It does beg the question: if that were true, how would the US Christian fundamentalists react? Anti-abortion, but anti-gay. Perhaps God would tell them they could make an exception in this case? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plot of land they found was in the car park of an eco friendly kickstarter type project funding centre, one of the companies with an office upstairs in the centre was a company making toilet paper from recycled bamboo, they had the product in place the marketing in place everything ready to go (unfortunately it wasn't called bumboo ) they were providing the centre with the paper...they were having their foul drains pumped once a month...I had to go down there and supervise a drainage survey and the guys were laughing their bollocks off, never seen anything like it, it was completely destroying the system because it doesn't break down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[too horrifying to quote fully] Bucket of hot (but not boiling) water, squirt a good glob of shampoo directly into the bowl then pour the water in (may take a couple of goes). The shampoo will act as a lubricant and the force plus temperature of the water softens the contents enough to eventually flow through. I speak from a depressingly hefty amount of experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just arrived at our airbnb today, around noon, after spending 3 hours walking the town as the owner wanted a late check-in. We sat down in the apartment before we decided on where to go first. After a while we decided on what we wanted to do. I had the mandatory "new apartment, new city, first trip outside poo" or "Hotel poo" if you will. The type of toilet break where you really are comfortable about being relaxed in your own space after stressing around in a new city. Now here's when the problem occurs. We instantly realised the apartment is full of organic vegan crap. Everything is organic and eco friendly, as is the toilet, toilet paper etc. Which means it uses less water, harder to flush paper etc. So after about 8 hours of walking Copenhagen we come home and I go to take a piss and I notice there's a bloody anaconda in the toilet. My first instinct was to praise my gf, then I thought maybe it was friend of the landlord or something, before I finally realised (based on the tear and wear of the poo) that it probably was mine and had been in the water for many hours. I proceed to try and flush it. Nothing happens. I flush about 4-5 times. Nothing happens. Nothing. And the poo is intact. I'm not sure what happens, but it's like the bastard has oxidized with some organic toilet smelly thing. I try to find some tools, but there's nothing here. I flush some more and it seems the poo is essentially going down and around the water lock. Worst bit is that the extra organic eco friendly toilet paper I've tried to jam it down with is now not even disintegrating in water. They are all floating. It's like flushing XPS sheets. Then I go to the kitchen for some appliances. And in the end I had to use a salad spoon to carve the poo up and mash everything inside the lock to be able to flush. And this is why you 1) don't go eco friendly on your toilets 2) don't rent your apartment out on airbnb. I washed the salad spoon mind. But this was not how I saw my first day ending. When I was on holiday in Stockholm we were having a ridiculously expensive pint and I decided I needed to drop the kids at the pool, the toilet was locked so I asked for the key and the guy behind the bar gave it to me and it had a whisk attached to it for some reason. I had a similar issue to you and ended up poking my floater with the whisk whilst flushing to get rid of it. I have no idea if that was why it was attached to the key and didn't bother asking when I gave it back to him (I did rinse it with soap and water btw).
