Newbie 0 #1 September 5, 2006 I was listening to the radio and the presenter was regaling us with an anecdote along these lines: "My dad used to announce 'Right, i'm going to the toilet', pick the sunday papers up and go and spend an hour and a half in the toilet. even on a bad day, i only spend 3 mins sat there and i never EVER take anything to read". Me, i can sit there a while, and without fail i NEED something to read. If i don't have anything to read, it just feels wrong. What about you guys? Readers or speeders?

AggieDave 6 #13 September 5, 2006 That's a guy's away from everything and everyone time. Its peaceful, its relaxing and its a perfect time to read the paper or your favorite car(Hot VWs)/motorcycle(The Horse BC)/skydiving(Parachutist)/gun(American Handgunner) magazine. No phone to talk on, no bills to pay, no stress, nothing, just you and a magazine enjoying some peaceful time dreaming about a car like in the article, a motorcycle like on the cover, a skydive like in the photofinish or a new trigger for your 1911.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

masterrig 1 #14 September 5, 2006 It is a good place to catch-up on some 'light' reading but, an hour and a half? That's like women in labor for 32-hours! I only give 20-minutes to a poop and that's it! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
