talking about toilet habits is NEVER A GOOD THING.

it's the only thing i'm prudish about, funnily enough
sex, religion, money, all other taboo topics are fine. but i am more likely to say something like "i'm just going to the euphemism" or "may i borrow your bathroom" if i have had one diet coke too many than admit openly that i am going for a piss.

In defence of this practice,
B3ta has encouraged such conversation with no fewer than two Questions of the Week asking for stories of a scatological nature.

(And in my defence, I only rarely drink Guinness...)

This is all true!
I do like a nice Guinness every now and then. Although I went on a work thing to Brussels last year and was forced to drink too many pints of G and then have weird coffee and evil shots... the next day I went off it a bit! :S

You went all the way to Brussels and they made you drink Guinness?
*facepalms*
I think I'd have handed in my notice the following day, if I'd been you...

Yeah I'm not sure what that was all about
I was with one of the Partners who's Irish so he was looking for an Irish bar... don't worry though I had chips with mayo and got groped by a French guy so I got my Brussels experience!
