For some reason I am bothered with toilet cisterns, they make me feel uncomfortable if I have to take a look inside! rolleyes

My OH has a huge problem with big motor boats on the back of transporters, which is a problem because in Cambridge there is a layby that always has one on it way to the fitting yards on the Anglian east coast and need to go via Newmarket to miss the low bridges on the A14. laugh

She says its unatural! confused

Know what you mean. Whenever I have to change the blue tablet thing, I always get a bit of a shudder when lifting off the cistern lid.

It's just plumbing, FFS!

Funny I used to be bothered by them as well for some reason! Blocked so many toilets in my time now that it doesn't bother me!

If it was someone else's turd in the toilet I might revert mind you biggrin

You shouldn't put the blue thingy in the cistern apparently it rots the seals? dunno how much truth there is in that.

I'm scared of grey squirrels. It's that look of evil they have in their oh so innocent and fluffy little faces.

They are planning something I tells ya.

Don't say I didn't warn you all...

yikes

I don't, they just appear in there. It's already happened a few times this week.

As I said, they are planning something...

Dunno about rotting the seals, but it has the makings of an impressive stalagmite.

my stepdaughter is scared or moths and butterflies, like you would be scared of snakes or spiders.

if there is on on the wall near the stairs she won't go down them until its been moved.

spiders. really can't stand them, but i wouldn't call it irrational smile

the OH is scared of baked beans. she can't even say the words and has a go at me when i do. i hate going for a full english with her as she has a right mard if i have beans with mine. i have tried to ask where this stems from but she hates even talking about it. perhaps she had a run in with rammage before she met me biggrin

oh, and a mate's mum is scared of driving over bridges. she is fine as a passneger but absolutely will not drive over one herself, to the point of having various family members having to drive out to meet her if she inadvertently drives near one.
