Literally.....

What's so hard to understand? when some one (Me) says, "If you haven't eaten it first, it doesn't go down a marine vac toilet"
"Marine grade toilet paper accepted".

Just had 11 get off the boat, 7 of them teenagers, and I've spent the best part of yesterday,and all day today, trying to get something, none biodegradable, out of a pipe which has been built into the boat.

No Joy. frown I managed to get one of those springy rod things hooked into whatever it is, and it straightened it out I pulled so hard.
It's in there, and it ain't moving.
Of course, all you Guys in the know, will know, as I do, what it is.

So much for private education banghead

The only consolation is, I know that when Daddy falls of the perch the little darlings will blow all the money, and their children will have to be janitor's for a living. smile Payback!

Is this a first, a rant on BT&P ?

Off to pour myself a very large rum, and have a chat with my dog.

Crap rant, and it's BP&T.

Measure the depth in, cut the pipe, put new piece in.

Ah yes, BP&T. (I already started on the rum) Crap's the word smile But as I said, the pipes, been built into the boat. I already cut the pipe as far down as I can, and the blockage is under the cabin floor and inacessable.
(Crap Tywanese built gin palace).
I'll have to try and run a new pipe.
10 bloody years I've been trying to drum it into their vacant bloody heads! shout

I would imagine it is a gentlemans intimate item cover possibly of the rubber variety.

Ay, you Guys ! They're easy ! Just pull 'em out of the duckbill valve in the vac pump.
It's the, ahem, "ladies" things that swell up in the pipe and become imovable.
Also the wipes and "extra strong" kitchen roll, but they turn up in the day head, not in the cabins below.

I tell ya, I had one of those man sized springy drain rod things, and it straightened it out. Bloody solid.
Christ I'll be thinking about it in my sleep over the weekend

They're back out on Tuesday, a day earlier than I'd been told.
I'll just hang an "out of order" sign on it. Sod it ! I've had enough.
That looks like a good bit of kit. Where can I get one?
