Nope, never. I can't go in public loos, just one of my many foibles.

With the right gear on (and a CLEAR visor - I just keep getting caught with this) I enjoy a ride in the pouring rain; once you've got your "rain brain" engaged you can really start cracking on across country.

Rode down to St Albans to meet up with my mother for a very early round of golf (6:20 start).
How do you carry your golf bag on a bike? One of the reasons why I drive to work rather than take the bike is so that I have my clubs handy for an impromptu after-work round if one or two of my golfing colleagues are around.

Carrying a bag of clubs would be impressive (although having seen whole families balanced on stty scooters in India I suppose not impossible).

My mother has a spare set (mottley collection of a few clubs from different manufacturers). I leave my helmet and textiles in her car whilst we play.

What happens when you go on holiday? Do you hold it in for two weeks?!

I heard Loon only holidays on a small private Island near Cyprus on top of an active Volcano.

My villa tongue out

I can live with a hotel, as that's my "home" for however many nights and nobody else will be stting there in the near future. It makes no sense, but that's how it is. We all have our own weird little quirks.

Why not just make a safety ring out of bog roll?

Would you actually st yourself rather than use a dodgy toilet?!

Worst though is trying to take a st with leathers and boots on.

Well, that puts a new perspective on the urgent requirement to get home as quickly as possible from trackdays. That journey home must be desperately uncomfortable.

I don't get the big deal on use of work time for this, I mean, it's a two minute task, including hand washing. Do you guys not eat any fruit and veg? I'm quite worried about you all.

This is brilliant. I'm pretty good on that score amd unlikely to st myself over a preference, no matter how deeply rooted that preference is.

Felt comfortable enough. Vibrations through the throttle making my hand go numb was the worst problem.
The signs were there that it was going to be about what goes on in the toilet right from the beginning!

Is it just me, or do you also begin a journey with just the figment of an idea that a number two is required, and then somehow, seemingly miraculously, time it so that at the very moment you burst through the front door, the need to immediately and violently evacuate your bowels comes over you like an unstoppable rebel force?

Things are dealt with in the morning normally. The odd time though I know exactly what you mean.

Every morning. Nicotine doesn't help any. Tobacco is a mild laxative

I used to work with a boy who would start crossing his legs during a fag then by the end of it rush to the toilet.

It's something to do with the stimulate of nicotine in the gut.

The second I have my morning fag I feel like going.

Infact that's where I am as I write to you.

There are many tools available to the more discerning stter forced to use public facilities, to make the event less traumatic. The paper seat gasket is one such device, as is the SAPP (splash attenuating paper preparation) and also carrying around the pocket size packet of Andrex Wet Wipes. Its a serious business.

In a lot of countries, it's pretty standard for public toilets to have a seat-shaped paper gasket dispenser in each cubicle. Makes the whole thing much more hygienic. Wish we had them here!
