Second timewaster letters is also good.
The scambaiter letters is also good bog reading.

Went to a lecture at The Showroom by the bloke who does the Robin Cooper stuff. Genius. My mate got him to sign his programme and he did a personalised message from Parmaynu.

got the new stone country font guide this morning.... that's gonna take number one reading slot for a while
otherwise the various collects of letters and articles by Hunter S Thompson - great shark hunt etc....
-
What is the Font guide like? Is it complete or just selected problems?

purely selected problems - not a guide in the traditional sense just a nice selection of a dozen or so nice problems of varing styles and grades in each area, no use if you live in the forset but if you're only there for a couple of weeks a year and don't have local knowledge
pretty pictures too....

Apt reading material (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/reader/0898156270/ref=sib_dp_pt/278-0924166-9081237#reader-link)

I never really got bog reading. I generally sit down, poo and wipe in too short a time to get any serious reading done. Is this what happens to you when you get old?

I've been doing it since I was toilet trained. So about a month then.

Hmmm . . .
Usually read German womens mags. Or graffiti along the lines of: wantsuk u fuc 0897 3421 9863; or God bless the axe-wound that never heals; more you rub it the better it feels; you can wash it w/ soap you can scrub it w/ soda - but you'll never get rid of the John West odour.
I need something short and sweet as I'm a squatter AKA Busby (feet on seat)-type. Not the best position for reading (though for number#2's it's the shit).

That reminds me of a female friend who was using this approach over the drop-toilets at Glastonbury. She forgot that a) no one could tell she was in the cubicle as her legs weren't showing under the door and perhaps more importantly b) there were no locks on the door.
Only a small amount of dignity was lost.

:shrug:
Really?? I thought it was THE LAW to never leave the toilet without numb legs from sitting on the crapper for an eternity. My Mum always used to tell me I'd get piles but I never have. Think how blessed those of us are who never have to take a guidebook to Stanage, Millstone or Froggat.
Jim - I moved my copy of Clive James' Cultural Amnesia from the bedroom to the bog. Some of the essays require taking a brew in (much to Mrs FD's disgust) but that's no bad thing on a Sunday morning with the sun streaming through the window.

Stephen Fry has a collection of journalism published - I forget it's name.
Wee snippets. Perfect for pool days.
-
Will Self has a similar book: Junk Mail.

Likewise - I've fallen over after getting off the khazi due to not being able to feel my legs.....
