We've got Clarkson's Born To Be Riled in the loo at the moment. A collection of pieces from his columns.

Ok so if I didnt need a wee when I went into the loo, I may well end up having one reading that.

I love a long relaxing spell on the loo. So much so that I get very annoyed if my sphincter opens before my book / choice of entertainment gets opened / booted up.

15 minutes is nothing. I've been lost to the bathroom for edging on 30 minutes several times. Occasionally longer - but this is rare.

I dont know why, but its just incredibly relaxing. I can poop quick, but if I've got be be leaving the house or doing something in 5 mins, I get nervous and cant go even though in theory I have more than enough time.

AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the delights of a leisurely poopeh... if it is indeed a man thing then you ladies are indeed missing out!

Whether it laptop, book, magazine or newspaper the skimming of words easily takes my attention from the thought of fecal matter emerging from my body- I am working upon the ideal positioning of a laptop to incorporate the fan in some form of room ventilation/ anti-smell-roomy-doodah!

I always take a magazine in with me and annoyingly it seems to accelerate my dumping speed and I'm done before I've finished a paragraph :@

Hmm I was pondering the question I posed on Friday afternoon only last night. Last night I was sat there reading Fortean Times learning about the monoliths on Easter Island. Without said reading material, it would have been the usual SAS job(Get in, get the job done and get out again) however my body was in perfect harmony with my mind. A true Nirvana moment

There are always drawbacks to reading on the loo. You can lose track of time, plus there is 'numb legs' syndrome. I haven't experienced this myself, however my eldest brother face-planted after trying to stand up after a 30-minute read.
