I'm just wondering... whether there is any correlation between pointy end up or down and loo roll front or back...

Me, I'm pointy end down and loo roll unrolling from the front.

Now see - what a klutz.  Couldn't tell the difference between a wall and an egg-cup.  Not sure there is a safe way to sit on a wall if you're an egg, mind.

, then probably leave the pointy end white as too difficult, not the right shape for the spoon,

I have a pointy spoon 
 
 

if the chicken where to place the egg in the cup it would do it point up . seeing as the point is the last thing to come out 

surely it's point first, imagine the agony of broad end first

My understanding is that the shell is still slightly soft as the egg comes out, hardening as the air hits it.  Hence the pointy end last. 

Not agony as not hard.  Is my understanding.  Any chook experts want to settle this one?

Hen Laying egg

Ouch...reminds me of one day last week when I could not go

Hen Laying egg

That looked sidieways to me 

[Mammyshaz]

That's enough to put you off having an egg regardless of which way it drops in the cup 

[Womble]

Boiled egg and soldiers is for when you are ill, chicken soup for the other meal 

You've confused me now Sally.  I know what a chicken is, but what on earth is an egg?  (I think I recall seeing one in the dim and distant past, but it's so long ago now that I'm not quite so sure!  )

Don't think so, Sally - I'm pointy end up and loo roll front!

I'm pointy end down - sits on cup more solidly for whacking with spoon 
Also allows more room for soldier dipping (as cited before)


And loo rolls - HAS to be unrolling off the front - drives me NUTS when OH puts it the other way round

Bert, has the argument been solved now?

[Bert]

Thank you for such a fantastic response    to my cry for help, in proving that I'm not a compleat f#€~ing weirdo  . I'm a point down girl. So most of you were no help at all, and you are wrong      .
All of you lovely people that are with me, thank you ,thank you 
I'm point down because the air sack is at the fat end so you can beat the crap out of the shell with out damage to the egg. So maybe I am a bit of a f#%$ing weirdo, but not a compleat one. Thanks to all of you that has now been proved.

Hi all
My name is Bob and I'm Bert's other half.
I've just joined to thank all you sane and level headed members who are point uppers, it's the only natural way.
Personally I can only feel sorry for all you point downers, obviously something has gone seriously wrong in your lives.
I'd particularly like to thank Ellied for one of the best thought out and reasoned arguments I have every had the pleasure to read 
Bert - This in no way proves that you aren't a complete f#%>ing wierdo, we all know you are.
Bob 

P.S. Now I'm a member I'll probably stick around and maybe add to some of the more sensible threads on here, that is if you'll have me
