How do you walk anywhere with a golden toilet and not get noticed?

[Jim]

I wonder if you just put it in an Amazon box and you're just another deliveryman

If it was big enough to be used, wouldn't you need a pallet truck to move it?

[Jim]

I would have thought so
Or a small forklift trolley

Why would anyone want a golden lav anyway? The whole thing made me giggle.

but think how much more you'd giggle if you discovered tonight that your nearest and dearest had plumbed the golden lav in in your house :-)

[David]

I should think it would feel jolly cold in the nether regions. Imagine staggering to the loo in the middle of the night in the middle of winter, and being wrenched out of semi-consciousness by discovering your buttocks were now frozen to the seat!

For the gold, or for a private collector. No accounting for tastes. I thought DT had gold-plated bathroom fixtures in his abodes.

Doesn't read anything at a high enough level to get the King Midas reference; he probably thinks it's just a tire and auto repair company.

In my family, the shorthand for naffness beyond the pail is to describe it as 'very gold taps'.

Yeh, don't sit down but like the don't lick lamp posts rule!

Yeh! It's been an exciting week! 🤣🤣

[M.T.]

More wittering and I’m afraid it borders on the pretentious! https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2019/10/19/jam/

[Jim]

Hardly pretentious :-)

[M.T.]

All that La-di-da stuff about opening doors pretentious the time. 🙂🤣🤣🤣🤣

This week’s blogorific wittering on. Enjoy.

Today's blog https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2019/11/16/oooo/

[Jim]

Nice one
love the web page you recommend :-)

[M.T.]

It’s fun, isn’t it?! You can see how two nutters together can have a lot of fun.

[Jim]

oh yes :-)

[M.T.]

More ranting and news and ... things ...

https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2019/11/30/th...

[Jim]

nice one :-)

[Alicia]

Good one.

[M.T.]

Cheers my lovelies, glad you both enjoyed my rant. It clearly struck a chord, especially with my lady readers. ;-) I felt better when I sat in church and the sermon contained a big chunk that said, basically, the same thing.

Jim, I loved your comment about the unicorn. It made ma laugh a lot.

Cheers

unicorns have that effect :-)

Deliberately wrote a light one before the election result this week.

It was fun :-)

Good! I wanted to avoid talking bloody politics at all cost. It’s not the result I wanted at all - I knew Bojo would win but I was hoping for a smaller majority so he would have to work harder to have everything his own way. I just didn’t want to think about all that. Too depressing.

Sadly not everyone thought as you do. A relative of mine, one of his supporters said to me "I'm so glad our Prime Minister went to Eton."

The ballast for the ruling class's sense of entitlement is provided by those who feel that everyone should know their place.

Trust me in this, I can guarantee you that Workington and Barrow in Furness are not inhabited by people who feel that everyone should know their place :-)

[M.T.]

I'd certainly say that nobody tells me my place, at least, people can tell me my place as much as they like but I'm not necessarily going to accept what they say it take any notice. 🤣🤣🤣

I don't doubt it. I recall that a year or so ago Workington "celebrated" having been in special measures for 100 years. Though how its voters could come to believe that our most venal Prime Minister since David Lloyd George might fix what has been broken for more than a century is a mystery to me.

well the others hadn't even bothered to make the attempt, so why vote for them?

Blog time ... https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2019/12/22/mi...

The first bit is cheerful, the second bit is about how people like Biff out of Back to the Future seem to be running everything these days. Mwahahhaahahrgh!

There are times when I feel I ought to watch more films :-)

I do feel the systems are more complicated than they need to be. I also feel that they ensure they're all different to help trap people in one of them

Yeh specially as it turns out it's not about Gareth being lemony in any respect but I may have been.

[M.T.]

Today’s blog post is one of my finest Basil Fawlty style rants. Enjoy: https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2020/01/18/ch...
