...have to take something to read to the toilet, when taking a shit?

I take the lap top since I got wi-fi. If it's not the lap top, it's a book or magazine. If I find myself with nothing to read, I will resort to reading the ingredients that make up toilet cleaner, bubble bath, or shampoo.

Am I alone?

Yes

Much better to insert a flat screen TV behind the toilet door for such occasions

Viz, Private Eye or some film reference book.

never easy trying to read while squinting under the strain of all that exertion

let us not forget our friend oly...biscuit barell ...squatting & reading

Quite a talent if true

My girlfriend's stopped me taking my cuppa, and sandwich though. I think she's too controlling.

Why not just pour them down the bog and cut out the middle man?

Because I like shitting?

It's my little room for 10 minutes, and I find it quite spiritual.

I find it rather tedious---save for the reading part, and I can do that any time. Roll on the day when we can get the necessary nutrients without having to expel a huge mess from our body.

Of course, it will also mean the death of British culture.

Plenty of room in the cistern if you prepare the night before

You just need some of the australian armies new ration packs & a pair of those petrol station gloves handy
