What do you read whilst sitting on the porcelain throne?

Calvin and Hobbes has kept me amused the past few months... but think it's time for a change.

The 13 & 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear has recently made it's way into the bathroom - may be time I gave it a gander...

Tends to be comics, though there was a Family Guy episode guide for a while. Has to be something you can flick to a random page and read, though I have had uni notes when I was studying for the exams as it was a bit of revision to be getting on with!

The backs of shampoo bottles, trying to pronounce all the ingredients.

What? Who has time to read?

At the moment it is The World According To Jeremy Clarkson, a collection of his Sunday Times columns. But generally one of the Cerebus collections or which every book I'm reading at the time.

This is SUCH a guy thing. A mate of mine once asked me why girls were able to "turbo shit", while guys have time to catch up on some reading...

Girshkin · 27th February 2008, 12:57pm

and I'm a girl! I'm just honest enough to admit I read on the toilet!

Witch · 27th February 2008, 12:59pm

thats what trashy magazines where made for, right?!

Pantgirl · 27th February 2008, 1:01pm

Heat and Closer magazines are my top ones followed closely by The Veterinary Times. Much excitement

Girshkin · 27th February 2008, 1:02pm

Haha.

Yeah, I totally don't get it at all. I'd rather be in and out as quick as possible.

The Times Guide To The People's Of Europe.

Like girls, however, I too turbo shit. I usually manage a page or two before I'm out which is why, despite it being in the toilet since New Year, I've only just got up to "Czechs". But if you wanna know anything about the Welsh, Highland Scots, Lowland Scots, English, Manx, Cornish, Irish, Bretons, French, Occitans, Basques, Gallicians, Portuguese, Catalans, Valencians, Asturians, Castillians, Gibraltans, Canary Islanders, Venetians, Sicilians, Maltese, Bavarians, Danes, Norwegians, Icelanders, Franks, Prussians, Rhinelanders, Bosnian Muslims, Croats, Serbs, Macedonians, Bulgars, Greeks, Turks, Slovenes, Lombardians, Austrians, Swiss, Dutch, Walloons, Flemish or Luxembougians I'm yer man. Anything the other side of the Soviet bloc (apart from the Former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Greeks and any Muslims people's of Europe) you're gonna need to wait a few weeks.
