@All:
Thank you for brightening up my night. I've just read the entire thread and have been laughing out loud. :pint:
@Cyberus:
does anyone here ever 'race the flush' when they're peeing!?
According to Peter Kay all men, at least once in there life, try this.
Personally, I do it all the time. When I'm watching telly, I use the toilet next door to the living room. The dividing wall is very thin and the noise of the cistern filling up again forces me to turn the TV up. Over the four years I've lived here, I've learned how to practically eliminate this by 'beating the flush'. By the time I've washed my hands and settled back down, the noise has abated somewhat. If I've ventured forth during an ad. break, I'm usually clear before whatever I'm watching comes back on. :-D
