What cheeses me off

[Forg]

Keeping with the toilet theme is grown American (mainly) adults saying they are "Going Potty"

I do that!
It’s comedy gold!!

MrsK and I have had success with the Fast800 program (The Fast 800 » By Dr Michael Mosley - The Fast 800), using the 5/2 option. It's not a mad rush to lose weight, and it is designed to help your whole body. I started at 105kg and after 16 weeks I'm now 91kg, and have never felt hungry. We haven't even given up our wine or g&T's, or tried the exercise program.

That sounds OK but you'd need to maintain that diet otherwise weight goes back on.

Going off track slightly but when I first hit 128kg I saw one of the best endocrinologists in Sydney if not Australia. Based on my weight he was adamant I was consuming 2700+ calories/day. I said no why. He said I can prove it to you. I said don't bother, you're wrong.

I mentioned I had my own diet in 2016 where I'd lost ~15kgs in 5 months. I weighed and documented everything I ate. I documented more calories than I actually consumed when there was any doubt. My diet was reviewed and endorsed by 2 dieticians.

If I had an average of 1800 calories/day there was no weight loss. Note the average male consumption is 2200 calories/day.

If I had an of 1600 calories/day or under I'd lost weight.

I've tried similar a few times since and it no longer works. I'm really watching what I consume right now and again nothing.

It goes to show you don't always believe medical professionals. Back to the drawing board.

I have a very tight acceptable weight range, probably tighter than almost anyone...
There is no escaping physics, what I can eat is a direct function of what I can burn.
Counting calories is pointless : you know what you eat and the scales are your judge and jury.. everything else is waffle.
Stop eating (it's a dirty habit anyway) and the weight will just…vanish...

Outback at my grandparents place about sixty years ago. They used to have the man clear it out
Mostly 'loo' is what I say or going to the toilet

Dad used to do ours

 

[VPS]

Well, I'd sure never use words like bog, dunny, thunderbox, latrine or closet. I'd have thought closet was an Americanism.

The original water closet was English

sorry just realised others have said that

 

[Duffa]

The correct term from the 17th century is latrine. All others are middle class affectations so people didn't have to share with guests, the fact that they were going to the shïtter

I'm actually surprised how many new builds have the loo in the bathroom rather than separate, both our ensuite toilet and second toilet are adjacent to the bathrooms and I prefer it that way.

I think it’s most likely because putting them in the same room saves floor-space, and most new builds being in the city a lot are tight for land.

We're a new build on a relatively small block, it would've about the same amount of space even if in the same room.

And another thing that really really cheeses me off is those bleedin‘ electric scooters that people seem to think it is ok to leave anywhere, especially in the middle of footpaths.
The companies should be charged with littering………

I was thinking about when we did the same a few years back ... the shape of the space we had for a bathroom+toilet between the 'office' and guest-bedroom downstairs wasn't going to fit a cavity slider, meaning both rooms would've needed a swinging door and the space to have them in separate rooms just wasn't working. I could've done it by reducing one (or both) of the two bedrooms, but cupboard-sized bedrooms are another one of my cheese things.

No real biggie for us as it's the "guest" one & the one that visitors might use, upstairs we have two toilets that are in their own rooms. The shower in the same room as that dunny's almost never used.

Or toilets without a basin. I personally hate pokey toilet rooms so we made our new one a bit larger but in the master bathroom, its a open plan wet room with giant tub and large shower. No pokey room for the toilet - its just us and hubby can use the main toilet (which he does in current home)

Well, Scottish I believe!

strongly agree. No one wants to clean their teeth in the same room after someone else has used the toilet!

Australian scientist Karl Kruszelnicki has revealed disturbing detail which may change your next visit to the bathroom.
Dr Karl explained if a toilet is flushed with the lid up, “a polluted plume of bacteria and water vapour just erupts out of the flushing toilet bowl”.
And some of that icky bacteria could even - wait for it - settle on your toothbrush.
Now the pooey water particles ... float for a few hours around your bathroom before they all eventually land - they will land,” he explained.

He's a bit of an over-winded fruitcake IMHO. And hasn't he heard that poo transplants can be good for you?

Yes they are proving useful, but I don’t believe one of the recommended infusion methods is via a toothbrush, at least not orally anyway.

I can't stand people that leave their toothbrushes out in the bathroom where there is a toilet

YUCK

But we seemed to have survived without worrying about such things so maybe

Well I was just referring to the smell!
