    Today I left my calculator at home. A Casio scientific jobby from about 15 years ago. It has travelled the world with me and done some very big sums. I have been reduced to using one of our corporate branded promotional freebees that has sticking buttons, a crap display and is so light that it skates around the desk.

    I miss my calculator.

    What mundane items do you take for granted?

    Sorry, H the S, but a Casio isn’t a real calculator. To suffer real loss you need to use a Casio after 30 years of using HP’s

    I can sympathise with the loss of pubic hair in petesgaff’s case particularly, but do you really miss it? On rare occasions when beer, boredom and a razor have been in close proximity I’ve been tempted (and have succumbed on the sack :oops:) and frankly it was quite nice feeling.

    wtf is a bumgun?

    You haven’t lived.

    One of the most amazing Asian inventions is the toilet hose or ‘bum gun’. This is a small hose with a spray nozzle on the end that’s attached to the wall in practically every toilet in Thailand and is used
    after you’ve been to the loo, to spray your nether regions to get them clean. It’s a wonderful invention as, unlike in the US and England, where we tend to just wipe around with some toilet paper, smearing urine and feces all over our delicate private area, in Thailand Thai men and women use the bum gun. They use the toilet hose or ‘bum gun’ to spray water on themselves, use soap that they bring with them to make sure they’re completely clean, and then use the toilet hose again to rinse off. A quick dry with some toilet paper, and they’re just as clean as when they left the house that morning. The toilet hose or bum gun in Thailand really is a wonderful invention but, if you haven’t been faced with one before, how do you use it?

    Testing the Toilet Hose or Bum Gun – First things first, test the water pressure before you use it. The British call the toilet hose the ‘bum gun’ and for good reason. The nozzle on the end of the hose is shaped a bit like a gun, with a trigger that you press to release the water. The secret to using the bum gun or toilet hose correctly is this – every one of them has a different pressure so, before you start spraying around your nether regions, make sure you test the pressure first by spraying some water into the toilet. Some bum guns have very high pressure and you could, literally, just about shoot yourself off the toilet if you use it with too much force.
