I think Father Ted might have too much of the altar wine all..........hmmmm.........NBC bouncer.......is that an Old Dart saying John?

 You could be correct about the altar wine Vic, I have never heard of NBC Bouncer in darts but in cricket it could be "Nicely Bloody Cracked Bouncer" as the ball was despatched to the boundry. LOL.

Must have something to do with bouncing the bowl at this club?

Now, about Father Ted, I contacted the Pope and he told me that Father Ted had been ex-communicated as it was costing them too much for supplies of the altar wine, and he apologised for Father Teds behaviour......

All I can say here is that i have the complete 3 series of Father Ted and that is far more likely to provide a balanced view of the human condition than the bizarre coments in this thread.

Hmmmm.......we seem to be getting a bit off track here, I made my original post for those who may not have been aware of subject devices that could make life easier for some. As many know as we get older the old knees, hands and joints aint what they used to be so we need all the help we can get.

We have a couple of the products to help open cans etc which we use often, particulary the can lever, use it all the time. Some of these products can be seen here:

What products do others find useful?

 To be honest, I had never heard of Father Ted until this post and Jon's link.

Sorry I could not bring myself to say the word so often used by Father Teds mate on the t.v show.

 (So pm it to me.....I don't know the show and I'm curious).

May I say that I have had a couple of pm complaints about the direction this thread has taken and has offended a couple of members........so in respect to me for the purpose of the original post (to inform about a product GN's could find useful in their travels) and also those who are offended, could we please try to keep it free from smutty and suggestive, crude remarks please.

I am not a wowser or a prude but bear in mind that some members are offended by the content.  As an example, if we had a rather smutty email sent to us, we might find it funny but we would only send it to those we knew would not be offended by it if you get my drift.  I do not consider the original thread post I started in this category, only some later comments etc.

 

As I've been busy for a couple of days, I've only just gotten to read this thread.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the original topic. As I see it, it's just another handy item suggestion to pass on to female nomads. I cannot for the life of me see why Father Ted was offended.

Someone else mentioned this contraption before Vic, and I said someone gave me one as a joke. I tried to use it once in the bush...because my knees won't allow me to squat...and lets just say it was a bit of a disaster.

http://www.shewee.com/  I gave up and bought a porta loo.

 I didn't think the TV show Father Ted was all that funny actually.

All I was trying to point out was if you have a mind that can find something innocent like a coke bottle offensive, then there are many other innocent products that can cause the same innuendo....

 Point taken Gubby, I know you are a gentleman of the first order..... 

John, it wasn't my intention but if it did then I'm pleased, but credit to the other posters too, including yourself. 

I am asking myself though why did I ever start this thread, well I know why (as stated in previous posts) but I might choose my subjects more wisely from now on  

Cripes I'm turning into a cranky old fart   

Can we all kiss and make up now ?   Well, ok maybe we wont go that far

I found nothing offensive about the original topic - potentially very handy - but found references to the immorality of coke bottles and other parts of the discussion frankly strange. I loved the Father Ted series. It was originally banned from airing in Ireland which goes to show it's healthy to laugh at ourselves and a bit sad if you can't.

I know from thorough scrutiny of Vic's posts that he would never deliberately set out to stir up anyone - especially Wombat who has been conspicuous by his absence from this discussion- probably drinking too much coke.

Those of you into hiking etc may be intersted in this article on a Poo Tube, a plastic water pipe with screw on ends that some hikers carry;

Your handy guide to using a Poo tube

Ingredients for a poo burrito

1 x University of Ballarat poo tube with your name on it, hygienically disinfected and cleaned by the last person who used it in the snow
1 x roll of non-bleached, recycled (probably scratchy) toilet paper
1 x University of Ballarat biodegradable plastic bag
1 x sheet of newspaper (The Herald-Sun works well for this purpose, most of whats written in there should be down the toilet anyway)
1 x large garbage bag
Sprinkle of Ajax to garnish

Method

1. Need to have a poo if youre having trouble with this you probably need some fibre in your diet. Eat less cheese and salami, try some bran or fruit, hot drinks also tend to do the trick.
2. Find a nice comfy spot away from the crowds, hopefully with a nice view.
3. Line your poo tube with the large garbage bag, all deposits will go inside the garbage bag, inside the poo tube. This could be done earlier to save time if you like.
4. Place your bio plastic bag on the ground.
5. Place half a sheet of newspaper on your bio plastic bag
(A word of warning here, its probably best to go and have a wee before proceeding to the next step, it can be tricky to co-ordinate everything at once if you are not an experienced poo tube user).
6. Poo onto the newspaper.
7. Wipe your bum and put the toilet paper on the newspaper as well.
8. Sprinkle with some Ajax to help everything break down quickly
9. Wrap you poo burrito in the newspaper, you can use any method you choose as long as it doesnt leak.
n.b. If you have an accident (it happens to the best of us, dont stress) you may need to get some extra newspaper or another bio bag to clean it all up. At the end of the day, the inside of the poo tube and the garbage bags are meant to stay CLEAN of any poo remember YOU have to wash up after all this cooking!)
10. Place your poo burrito inside the bio bag and tie a knot in the top. You will need to get as much air out as possible
11. Then put the bio bag inside the garbage bag, inside your poo tube. Put the lid back on
11. Dont forget to wash you hands.

Washing up
All poo tubes will be emptied either straight into a septic tank or put down a long drop toilet (hence no plastic), the large garbage liner bags will go into a normal bin.
Back at uni, there will be tubs of hot, soapy, disinfectant and water, some toilet brushes and some rubber gloves. It is YOUR responsibility to clean your own poo tube to a sparkling, hygienic shine for the next budding chef!

Only items that can compost cango inside the poo tube, no plastic, pads or tampons

Is nothing sacred with you.Lol.Must be your age.My mate Ibbo reckons that the Forum has come alive at last.Whats your next subject Bedpans and the use thereof?

---

 Yes, I remember Ibbo FT, and also Basil Faulty whose post is still fixed up the top of the GN forum.......

Now, regards Bed Pans, as we don't have room for a Porta Potty, we carry a plastic badpan, not for general use, but just in case of an emergency between toilets with no suitable cover around (eg; food upsets etc).  Never had to use it yet, but it's there just in case!

Vic,not personal,offensive more like it.Really do we need items like that on a family Forum.

 So do you believe men are the only ones who should be catered for ?   This is an aid for a perfectly normal function, so what is offensive about it?

It's the 21st Century Father Ted, not the 19 th.   I think your mind needs elevating a bit.

Cheers,
