Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008Totally OT: Toilet roll use
No, I haven't gone mad! I join in on an on-line forum on my other interest which is poultry. It is a well designed interface and there are different sections for OT posts, for recipes, for getting annoyed, and for asking off the wall questions. Mostly we do talk about our birds though.. Anyway. The question is: Do you scrunch or fold your toilet paper? The options are: 1. Scruncher that I be, we use loads 2. Folder am I - anything else is wasteful 3. Never noticed - what a daft question 4. Not telling - show me the results 5. I AM the Andrex puppy. It's an almost exclusively British group, with a few ex-pats in France and Spain. Two people said they thought most Europeans fold and most Americans scrunch. I doubt they have met more than a few Americans in their life, let alone asked them about their toilet habits! So, in my unique position of "knowing" quite a few Americans in this group, feeling comfortable to ask, to prove it right or wrong, if you feel okay to answer please do, and Brits and Europeans too. If not, not a problem. It's just a bit of fun. I am a folder, myself. Tweed Am a folder myself. My daughter says it goes back to the outhouse and the catalog days! She thinks she is being cute but my grandparents had an outhouse until 1960. The question I usually get in a survey is, do you put the paper to unfold from the back or the front. Supposedly you use less if you have to reach back and pull it than let it freewheel from the top. I never put the paper on the roll because O T likes to grab it and run. Have awakened many mornings to the frontroom decorated in toilet paper. > No, I haven't gone mad! > I join in on an on-line forum on my other interest which is poultry.

I use wet tissue when I'm out of the house or wash with a flannel at home, as I get contact dermatitis from paper (horrendous itching). The weirdest TP user I've ever heard of was a woman Marion knew who complained that standard toilet paper was *too narrow*. I don't know what her solution was - kitchen roll, or whole pages of the Daily Telegraph? ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === <http://www.campin.me.uk> ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts I'm a folder from Holland.

I once left a Sam's Club sized package of about 60 rolls in a closet with the sliding door open 1" and kitty decided it was perfect sport to reach in and try to shred and pull out gobs of TP. She must have killed 10 rolls of TP that afternoon.

One day when I got home from work, there were two rolls of kitchen towels that had been killed all over the floor. http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o185/frankiennikki/meredecorations.jpg They had been in the cabinet under the sink.

I don't own a towel without kitty pulls all over them. :~) I need to install baby locks, too. I'll be in the living room and here a banging in the kitchen followed by a banging in the bathroom. Pua has the kitchen cabinets down pat while Chloe and Tryone open the bathroom ones. I worry because although they can open the cabinets from the outside, they climb in and haven't figured out how to get their way OUT of the cabinets.

We were just away on holiday and got a friend to stay and feed the furries. He gave them enough of their regular tinned food, but decided to give them a special treat; the dry stuff in the brown paper sack. They got a bowlful of wood-pellet cat litter. Next time he comes to dinner he gets a chocolate-enrobed toilet roll for dessert. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === <http://www.campin.me.uk> ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts On Mar 26, 5:57 pm, Jack Campin - bogus address <bo...@purr.demon.co.uk> wrote: > >> Anyway.

Well, my toilet water doesn't swirl, the water comes out of the cistern out the back, one half swirls around the pan on the left, the other swirls around the pan on the right, both 'swirls' meet up at hte front, and then forms a sort of fountain that forces everything down the S bend. BTW, coriolis forces are a fact (why our hurricanes go around anticlockwise) but the shape of the vessel and indeed, the water movements in the vessel at the time you take out the plug has more of an effect on the direction of the swirl down the plug hole than the coriolis forces.

Sounds like a Southeast Asian or South Pacific language to me... off to look it up... Joyce SignatureTo send email to this address, remove the triple-X from my user name. >> Yup, we call 'em cyclones, and the Japanese call 'em Typhoons. > "Typhoon" is a Japanese word? Here's an interesting etymology from dictionary.com. Japan was not involved, but China was, so it wasn't far off. (And considering that there's plenty of borrowing between those two countries, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it's the standard Japanese word for that kind of storm. Maybe a Japanese speaker can weigh in?) Anyway, to the tale: Word History: The history of typhoon presents a perfect example of the long journey that many words made in coming to English. It traveled from Greece to Arabia to India, and also arose independently in China, before assuming its current form in our language. The Greek word tupho-n, used both as the name of the father of the winds and a common noun meaning "whirlwind, typhoon," was borrowed into Arabic during the Middle Ages, when Arabic learning both preserved and expanded the classical heritage and passed it on to Europe and other parts of the world. T.u-fa-n, the Arabic version of the Greek word, passed into languages spoken in India, where Arabic-speaking Muslim invaders had settled in the 11th century. Thus the descendant of the Arabic word, passing into English (first recorded in 1588) through an Indian language and appearing in English in forms such as touffon and tufan, originally referred specifically to a severe storm in India. The modern form of typhoon was influenced by a borrowing from the Cantonese variety of Chinese, namely the word taa"fung, and respelled to make it look more like Greek. Taa"fung, meaning literally "great wind," was coincidentally similar to the Arabic borrowing and is first recorded in English guise as tuffoon in 1699. The various forms coalesced and finally became typhoon, a spelling that first appeared in 1819 in Shelley's Prometheus Unbound.

Quote from wikipedia: The word is an alteration of the Arabic word, tūfān, meaning hurricane, and the Greek word, typhōn, meaning violent storm. It was also influenced by the Guangdong-region Chinese word daaih-fùng (daaih = big + fùng = wind). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon SignatureChristine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb108/christal63/ photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 > No, I haven't gone mad!
