My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

I am trying to convince my wife that a bookshelf in the downstairs toiletis a good idea.
I can't go unless I'm reading and I am sure I'm not the only one. Sometimes its a scrabble for a shampoo bottle before I sit but I have to read something.
I have a wide selection of reading material on the radiator and the moment including, a couple of Gary Larson books I no longer find funny, The doubtful guest, the melancholy story of oyster boy, the little book of bunny suicides, the current months bizarre magazine, and several others.
However nothing has ever beaten the quality of read that is the back of a shampoo bottle.

I too have the need to read!I usually have a couple of new scientists or something to keep me company on the crapper. I actually had to hide some reading materials in my girlfriends toilet after I knew all her shampoos etc by heart.
