Andrew – We subscribe to a magazine called DNA. It’s a magazine for gay men and often has some great and interesting articles. ALWAYS has some hot, hot, hot pictures – not that that is why we buy it mind you. We like to educate our minds!

This magazine often finds its way to the reading spot in our house also know as the bathroom and all of our friends have commented on it. Many a dinner party someone has emerged from toilet magazine in hand. Girls find it fascinating, straight boys find it uncomfortable.

I wonder what you can tell about people by the reading material they have by their loo? Possibly not as much as you can tell about the people who will bring a magazine from the bathroom to the dining room table.

Gusband and I are a little bit germ-o-phobic (I’m sure there is a real term). We know – and this is my sister’s fault -that if you flush the toilet with the lid open 1 metre cubed will get covered in the germs. Which is why we now keep our toothbrush in a cupboard. Imagine…… Better yet don’t.

You girls are the worst at our house. There is so much talk about men leaving the toilet seat up. In our house the seat is always down. Germs People, germs! Generally I think that men are getting there in the training department. They will more often than not leave the seat as they find it. You chicks, not so much. Always with the top lid up! What is that about? Don’t you know that most people don’t want their toothbrush/hand towel/anything within a metre cubed of the loo, covered in germs?

Back to the magazine (sorry to have been distracted. I sound like Lucy in our Thai Restaurant blog) nobody thinks their bits are that big really, yes they have given themselves a bit of a fiddle before the photo was taken, yes we all think they are hot, yes that magazine is covered in germs because and let me make this perfectly clear…..YOU PROBABLY LEFT THE BLOODY TOILET SEAT UP


Lucy - That magazine has always managed to make it into my hands, then out to the dining table, sorry boys, I have definitely been one of the many ladies spreading germs all over your house. (I can see it now, you have just started a whole new generation of germ-phobic people scared of the toilets in strangers houses)


However I always put the toilet seat down but my reason is not to stop the spread of germs. It stems from my apparent belief in Feng Shui. It has a lot to do with luck!! and also that you flush your money down the toilet, so in order to hold onto my limited supply I close the lid (God that sounds hilarious now that I have actually admitted it in writing). 
In fact now I have that sinking feeling that I am about to get side tracked again..... I think Andrew you have opened a can of worms with this DNA blog, I have gone to the book case I grabbed out the Feng Shui book.....

Don't worry campers I promise I will not go off on some tangent today.


Sawusband just piped up & said he even puts the lid down in public toilets. A little paranoid perhaps, (or tight) what do you think?


I miss that magazine. I only ever looked at it for the articles..... Ha ha! 


Do yourself a favour & pick up DNA (or you could just ask to use Andrew & Gusbands toilet) Happy reading CAMPers!!!
