Cess pit problems
« on: August 06, 2011, 11:57:56 am »
The joys of living in the country! :D    Cesspit got blocked up all the way back to the house :-[ What a stinker, took hubby and drain man 3 hours to clear it, fighting their way through the jungle i call my garden ::) i think chickens enjoyed the jungle clearance though, lots of bugs to eat :chook: we nearly had to resort to a bucket and spade though, horrified my townie brother who lives in London, he can't believe our poo stops at the end of our garden!!

Some of my townie friends thought that my birthday present last year wasn't a good present.

I like useful presents....

Why is human poo so bad? When we go for a walk with our dogs we sometimes go to a place that fishermen use and our Male dog often goes off and comes back with THAT horrid smell!!!! 

When you get to 50 you do the poo test and I put it off for ages as I did not want to walk out the toilet with my potty while doing breakfasts..I run a B&B. All done now and fine as we have room only guests!!

Trust me, you really don't want to know until you have to know.  Wisdom comes with age, apparently, but is accompanied by a range of increasingly undignified tests and "procedures" as bits of you start to work rather less well than they used to.  Those who believe in intelligent design must also believe in a creator with an odd sense of humour.

Thus as you age that pain in the arse you always suffered from becomes less your spouse and more your rectum.

Oh Sandy,  you've just reminded me of once when I was in the Doctor's waiting room.  An elderly gent toddled in towing a tartan shopping trolley (where can you actually buy one of those?  are they government issue at the age of 75, along with the corduroy trousers at the age of 60?  ;)). He proceeded to rummage around in the bottom of it, before producing a large ice-cream tub, and slapping it on the counter. "That's my stool sample for Dr Jones" he said proudly. "Did he not give you a little pot to put it in?" asked the somewhat shocked receptionist. "Ach, how was I supposed to sh1t in that wee thing?" he retorted  ;D.

The best bit is when I told a medic friend of mine about this. "Oh, that's nothing" she said. "I had one a month ago in a wide-necked thermos flask, to keep it warm!".   :o

Only just stopped to read the posts and I have been having a laugh!!

Honestly, you first have to think what you have eaten so its at least a decent consistantcy......I slipped up one of the days and nearly threw up collecting MY sample balanced over a sandwhich box that nearly overflowed!!! Glad we did not have breakfasts to make that day!!!
