Last Sunday's Observer magazine, Merlin's F.A. Premier League 04 sticker album, Annonces Caravaning & Loisirs (? no idea how/why)and a leaflet advertising competitive landscaping rates.

Also, do you panic or find it difficult to 'go' when you're in a strange place and there's nothing to read? I even rummage in my pockets for receipts and shit to encourage the evacuation.

Most of my friends keep some cartoon books and the like in there. I take in whatever I'm reading at the time, so nothing lives there.

I will even read the shampoo and shower gel instructions if I have to.

I agree with esoj, however the person I live with tends to hoarde old newspapers and I believe there is a copy of house and garden from some time last year in the bottom of the little magazine basket.

The latest issues of Bust and Entertainment Weekly are in there, but I'll take in The Silmarillion if I'm gonna be in there for a bit. I'll play Blackjack on my phone if I'm in a shitter with no reading materials.

I don't hang out in the bathroom, sorry.

I'll be fully au fait with towel laundry instructions in a mag-free mate's house and I've even read the leaflet inside me gran's Preparation H box. Hardcore.

For a long time it's been You'll Never Eat Lunch In This Town Again. Open to any random page and somebody in Hollywood's snorting blow and humiliating themselves for money.

Strunk & White's "Elements of Style" and a 1971 Whole Earth Catalogue. I linger far too long because of the latter.

― andy, Wednesday, 17 March 2004 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

it should be "you'll never eat hot lunch in this town again"

But seriously once a book goes into the bathroom, should it come out again? Maybe I'm OCD but I wouldn't want to put it back on the bookshelf again, it just seems a little...unsanitary or something.

put clear film on the book covers, then you can wipe the residue off

If you touch money even once during the day, there's poo on your fingers.

― andy, Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Yum, i'll keep that in mind!

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:10 (twenty-two years ago)

As my mate Dave the plumber always says, there's money in shite.

Have you ever had to tear the pages out of your fave book when you've run out of bog roll?

― penelope_11, Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:15 (twenty-two years ago)

uhhh....no but i've used kitchen paper towel when we've run out. The septic system doesn't like it much though.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Remember that greaseproof paper kinda toilet roll? What the fuck was that about?

― penelope_11, Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

for people who like to smear shit all over their asses?

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:20 (twenty-two years ago)

while making some buns?

Someone gave it to me for Xmas.
There's also an old-ass Revolution magazine circa 2000 with Underworld on the cover in there.

Tons of PC Gamer mags and old copies of Desktop and 3D designer mags. House fulla design/gamer nerds, you get that.
