Culture Shock

[Scratcher Gillespie]

Just spent 6 days in Singapore, first overseas Asian trip -I went there for work, but tacked on a couple of days either side to have a bit of a holiday.

I booked the wrong hotel, apparently there are 3 Copthorne hotels in Singapore, and I booked the shit one.

Upon arriving, I preceeded to lay a massive line of cable in the toilet, however, the hotel was so shit, the toilet didn't flush. The water just began rising and rising and rising, until it was JUST at the top of the lip, then slowly fell. My girlfriend was not impressed, and I was forced to book a new hotel. She wanted to use the toilet however (there was no toilet brush), and I was stuck as what to do. In the end I wrapped some toilet paper around my hand and manually removed the offending turd, not telling the gf how I did it for fear of excommunication.

I'm not religious, but I do admit to saying a prayer every time I lay some cable and the bastard won't flush. But removing the obstruction by hand, now that seriously takes a strong stomach.

[jimmy35]

I'm impressed as well.

Yeah - those toilets are built for asian turds, not our home grown whoppers.

[AngelEyes]

That's pretty damn funny Scratcher. I'd shake your hand, but, well...

[Roger the Cabin Boy]

Yeah... I'll settle for a hearty backslap and leave out the high five.

I've used the cardboard tube from the inside of a toilet roll to break up a troublesome stool that wouldn't flush. Then threw it out the window into the garden.

[Captain Sensible]

I dropped my mobile phone down the toilet a month or so ago. I fished it out and took it to the repair place. The bloke's holding it in his hand and says "It's pretty wet, what happened to it?" I told him and he put it down on the counter and wanted to know whether it "was No. 1s or No. 2s." I said neither-I was emptying the tea leaves out of the pot.



Made him feel better about it anyway.
