I can't quite believe how long this thread has gone on for! It is quite a laugh, but I suppose it is all my fault.

I am in Marocco now, never caught short with some tissues in my biking jacket. Going to have away the bog roll in my hotel room tonight. I've had some fantastic food out here, and never any upset tummies.

I've got some wet wipes that I use for camp cleanliness more than anything. I wouldn't flush them down the bog.

go poo easy everyone!

single paper technique

Is the single piece of paper used to get more extra quilted out of the stores or is that only done in the RAF?

Supplies

And why is it that when you need one most there is never one there!. Just been caught out at work next time I'll check the supplies first...

Talking about supplies...

A team of sociologists send these three men to a deserted island to carry out an experiment on isolation to see how they adapt:

The three men then decide to split up the tasks amongst themselves:

"I'm an engineer" says the Englishman, "so I'll handle building a shelter".
He turns to the Frenchman and says," You French are pretty good cooks why don't you handle the cooking ?".

The Frenchman agrees, and the Englishman turns to the Japanese man "That just leaves you to organise the supplies" he says. The Japanese man eagerly agrees and they all set about with their tasks.

A year passes, and the sociologists return to see how the men have coped.
They expect to find three desperate men, unhappy with having to live on the island, but instead find a huge wooden house with verandas, porches and a balcony. The Englishman comes to greet them, and when they express their surprise about the house he shrugs and says "yeah well I had a lot of raw materials so I kind of went to town and did the place up".

The team are amazed and are shown into the kitchen where they are greeted with the most amazing smell of delicious food. The Frenchman sees their surprise and shrugs "I had lots to work with" he says, "this island has loads of edible herbs and plant".

The team sit down to eat and are about to start when one of them inquires about the Japanese man.

"Oh we don't know what happened to him", explains the Englishman. He ran off into the woods to sort out the supplies and has not been seen since".

They all agree that they should try to find the man, and a search party is organised. They make it about 100 metres into the woods, when the Japanese man jumps out from behind a tree,.... stark naked with half a coconut on his head, and peacock feathers sticking out of this bum, and shouts

Wet wipes could be anything from bleach to multi-purpose cleaner or something akin to carb cleaner. You do not want to use these anywhere near your man bits or woman bits.
Baby wipes are the answer. Easily spotted. Usually have a pic of a baby on the front of them. Or they may be in pink or powder blue or some other nice and soft pastel shade. Mighty useful tip if you don't understand the local language.
