It was on TV last week. It might be on again, I often see the same film on within a few days.

my friend who haven't seen since I was 16 messaging me completely out of the blue today. Well the first message didn't make me smile, it sent me in a complete panic but after replying his next one did as he was so warm and friendly and invited me to come down and watch Spurs with him next season - he said getting tickets wouldn't be a problem. Result.

@ Mark i am the most bladder shy person ever, even in the stall i cant go lol

damn my ****ing messed up brain. even at home if people are around i cant go, i need counselling or some shit, another problem to add to the list, also i go like a bazzillion times a day.

custom_fusion-lqx · #**126** 5th August 2012, 00:32

Yep, i worry when im in a job asking to use the toilet over and over... even that scares me and would tbh annoy employers. so i guess i have to hold it till i blow up.

Acutally once when i was on the college bus i was so desperate to go i actually was in intense agony my kidneys were hurting and i literally was about to explode. i was in a lot of pain that day and still remember it 3 years later, probably did some damage to my kidneys.

i think im getting better at going to the toilet in certain conditions, when i was at jury service our room had our own toilet just round a little fake wall so when you went everyone else could clearly hear you. I put that damn thing off despite jiggling about in court like a muppet but i gave up in the end of the last afternoon and went for it..it took tactical aim of pissing on the bowl instead of making a noise but at least it came out quite quick

..now urinals...cant do them

@ Mark the best thing i ever did was tell my family about my toilet issues so i dont feel pressured around them and also they understand why i am frequenting the toilet so much. I even went to the doctors but bailed out of my arranged cystocopy (tubes up my wang, errrr i dont think so).

Who are these ****ing douchebags who go into public restrooms, decide to take gargantuan shits, using half the roll of toilet paper, and then don’t even bother to flush?

To those people: Hey, it’s me, Patrick. Oh, you don’t know me? Well, I’m the guy that you expect to clean your mess. Now, I have what is known as paruresis/psychogenic urinary retention/public piss syndrome. When I walk into a public bathroom, I’m not going to the urinal. I’m b-lining straight to the stall. Now, imagine my surprise when I go to open the stall and see what you did. I’m left with two choices. Either I don’t pee, or I flush your shit. Urinating is a basic biological process. You are using my natural limitations as a living organism to force me to flush your mess. Does that make you feel powerful? Do you gain some form of satisfaction from this? What is going through your mind when you just leave it right there? Does it really take that much effort? Are you in that much of a rush? I’m gonna call bullshit right there. You push down a lever. The end. It’s over. Oh, and don’t give me that “I’m afraid it’ll clog the toilet” crap. It won’t. I know, because I ****ing flushed it so **** you."

The familiar faces of TV.

For me, it has to be the BBC London news team. I've grown up watching them. I get upset if Riz Lateef isn't presenting the 6.30 London news. And how I love the smily faces of Peter Cockroft and Wendy Hurrell. I could go on.

Sounds like i'm being sarcastic, but i'm being serious lol.

Ducks. Never fail to make me smile.

Vanessa · #**142** 15th August 2012, 19:15

^me too, i love ducks.
i went for a walk thru the woods near my house and theres a pond/lake, i stopped both ways going into the forest and heading back home, to watch ducks for a bit. both times this duck waddled up right to me, looked me up and down, then walked off. he thing was probably mad i didn't feed it

----------

a colleague today asked if i'm alright because i've been quiet lately. that was nice.

Winnie57 · #**143** 15th August 2012, 22:56

^ Yes he probably wanted food Vanessa

I mainly find myself smiling when I'm watching TV. I was watching Dinner Date (my latest dubious TV craze) and was surprised when I became aware I was grinning like a Cheshire cat

Pavements should be more roadish.

Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. I'm talking total protonic reversal.

Natural areas in urban areas.

A lot of people forget about all the natural spaces in London. Not talking just about the parks, but the nature reserves. A good is example is Mudchute Park on the Isle of Dogs (that bit of land which includes Canary Wharf etc). It really feels like a place in the countryside. Walthamstow/Hackney marshes and Epping Forest (which reaches all the way to the Wanstead area near the Olympic Park).

I've always wanted to go to Richmond Park aswell, which is huge.

Good old Joanie

When people run past you on the street, only for you to catch up to them waiting to cross the road. The lights change, they sprint off, and you walk up to them again waiting at the next crossing.

5 blocks this went on for. I hope they at least felt like they were getting somewhere quicker.

Ha, an eternity.

When my Dad was alive:

I'd call...

-Hello

-Hi, it's me

-Do you want your Mum

-Yeah
