We find a length of string handy.  Loop thru the bog roll, then loop over your head. This avoids leaving the roll on the sh*t smothered floor.



Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

We always seem to end up with screw top bottles very thoughtful of out european neighbours, one less thing to bring to take up valuable beer space :D

Slight concern is that I don't own actually own any Van Halen CDs - would some Fleetwood Mac be okay instead?

I'm amazed!
