Not to derail this, but what's a "newspaper?"

Def

you know, when you run out of toilet roll ......

In Canada we call them "showers."  :P

Def

Too much Tim Hortons coffee and doughnuts and maple syrup?  :whistle:

Actually, I'm confused about what you colloquially call showers, is it the newspapers or the loo paper?

When I'm out of toilet paper I take a shower.  Much easier than trying to find a newspaper.  :P

 Wash cloths, they wash out. :rofl: Guess a lot of you weren't raise with cloth diapers?
 Definitely a shower afterwards, with a directional sprayer. :D

Alright, let's get intimate! :D

As a matter of fact, yes, when I'm at home I do use an improvised bidet while on the toilet seat (AKA The Thrown). Been doing this for years, couldn't be happier. When I'm not at home, I try to always have baby wipes handy. Baby wipes is one of the very few disposable stuff I actually like  ;)

I don't think many people share my habits though I've never really had this conversation with lots of people.

You really should try reading the newspaper while in there... It does help get things done properly. Seriously!

On topic, here's another misleading title:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jun/15/avocado-thieves-shortage-crime-fruit-black-market-new-zealand 

Avocado shortage fuels crime wave in New Zealand

By reading this, one might expect to read about avocado shortage-induced robberies, stabbings, shootings, looting, mass rapes, extended substance abuse, you name it. Instead, you read about... what you find following that link  :whistle:

That would take away from some of my MTO time!  Web surfing while taking care of business is the real reason tablet computing has taken off...

The big purpose of magazines in casa de TJ is reading material in the conference center  :whistle: . Harbor Freight catalogs work okay in a pinch also.
