DID YOU HEAR THE ONE ABOUT THE FREEZE POOH.

Chris Evans | 14:31 UK time, Thursday, 1 May 2008

So The Great Enzo, he is having a few tummy troubles of late, there have been several big "accidents" recently. Very very....

...runny, very runny indeed and often in the middle of the living room carpet. The devatstation is then extended as Enzo flees the disaster zone before the disaster is in fact over. Cleaning up this kind of mess is, as you can imagine, a nightmare. The more one tries to clean, the more one spreads the problem.

But now here this. Someone has looked at this kind of situation and spotted a gap in the market.

The result ? Freeze pooh. Genius, absolute genius.

It's a chemical spray that instantly freeze dries whatever mess has been made to the degree of then being able to pick the newly solidified doo doo with one hand and snapping it in two.

Now that's an invention !

CLP.

P.S. We now have a million more ears listening to drivetime than we did at this time last year. What can I say ? Thank you so much.

    Eeeewwwwww. But a good idea for dog walkers not wanting to "handle" the iffy stuff.

    AND I hate dog walkers who don't pick it up.

    End of.

    ARF request from Cheryl the Diva:

    Fantastic Day - Haircut 100

    Cheers ears!

    CtD xxxxxxxxx

    PS: would they invent freeze pooh for humans with iffy tummy's in foreign climes? Just a thought ....

    Takes 'whatever will they think of next?' into a whole new dimension!

    Greetings and Salutations from Vancouver, Canada,

    Firsly, it would be remiss of me not to offer my ardent thanks for the kind words written about me yesterday. I can but reciporcate my best wishes to each and every one of you and submit my heartfelt gratitude for such generosity of spirit. What a fine gathering of people

    I am delighted that Mr.Evans and the team has harvested more listeners, as it is a just reward for his consistently engaging show. Splendid job, Chris and even more kudos for poo-pooing the nay-sayers (is that an unfortunate phrase ex post facto today's blog subject?) and emerging triumphant.

    I am coming back to Blighty to visit friends and family in but 12 days and was wondering, have any of you been to Maze, one of Mr. Ramsays estabishment. I have made a reservation there to treat my delightfully delicious lady (before whisking her off to the Lakes) and was wonedring if any reviews could be forthcoming?

    And my thought for today reads thusly....

    What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul...so ask yourself, if I get punched in the face by a cannibal, does that classify as a food fight?...

    Good day to you all.

    Dr.T

    Oh, fantastic idea CLP!!

    Wonder if it'd work on the cat sick.....

    Hope everyone's having a good 'un. I've been working my little socks off all day, haven't had a minute! But now I'm done yippee, and off to visit mummy dearest in the hospital :o)

    TTFN,
    AF x

    ps HL have a super-duper holiday!

    pps Jeni, lovely news (although I do think you're quite mad!)

    ppps CtD - cake? Please???

    pppps Dr.T, I'll have to think on't....

  • Comment number 5.

    Yukkk!! However, at least it would stop that first thing in the morning squelch between the toes as you walk into the kitchen (if you could train the dog to use it, that is!!)!!!

    Thanks for all the lovely welcomes yesterday - cheered me up no end.

    Was decorating cakes last night. Feathery and frivolous for my mate who's the big 4 0 tomorrow and Iggle Piggle for my cousin's little one who was 1 last week - I like a bit of variety...

    Off now to finish attaching stars to the frivolous one. Dinner's all sorted as I got up early and made the effort to put the slow cooker on. Feeling really smug and pleased with myself now!

    ARF suggestion - Dance yourself dizzy
    Something I could do with doing at the moment x

  • Comment number 6.

    The dog next door takes care of the cat sick for me. Tasty snack huh? Arf idea:- bonzo dog doodah band!

  • Comment number 7.

    Genius idea!! Freeze pooh... I shall have to remember that for when darling hubby allows me to have a dog of my own :)

    I shall save my ARF request for next week - because as of next week I shall be working Thursday afternoons instead of Friday afternoons and will be home in time to hear the beginning of ARF again!

    AF many thanks for the compliment (I think!) I'm guessing it's to do with the prospect of an addition to the family? I'm beginning to think the same myself. Since embarking on this adventure I have done a little thinking and investigating. The female brain is an incredible thing, it has this amazing capacity to forget things. Now that can and does cause innumerable problems in day to day life, granted, but all the women I have spoken to recently who are either due imminently or have just had additions to the family have this same thing in common - they have all forgotten (or give far less thought to) the discomfort and pain and sickness they may have experienced. Even now I find the misery of the past month and a half is disappearing, I find that quite remarkable.

    I love this memory loss thing. Even when it does mean I have no idea what day it is (even on that single day of the week when I work), and have absolutely no recollection of the new glasses I chose with the husband a week previously.

    Mmmm cake! I might akshully try and make one... eee that though has cheered me right up!

    Hey there Chris, does a million new ears equate to half a million new listeners? Or is it a million new listerners which would make TWO million new ears?

    Desperate to know which it is as I tell anyone who will listen (with one ear or two, I'm not fussed) that they MUST tune in to your fabulous show because you make me laugh all the way home.

    And when I get home, I put the radio on so that I can carry on laughing whilst doing whatever needs doing.

    Well done to you all, you're the best!

    Cheers

    Nice idea , just stick a lolly pop stick in it and you have the perfect summer treat . Mmmm.

  • Comment number 10.

    Wow, i do love a new useful invention. This one has got me thinking however. is there room for development?

    Can i design some sort of doggy mounted holster that can hold the spray can/bottle in a strategic position, such that a useful dose of the magic liquid is deployed at source?

    Will get to work right away and report back in due course. Just remember: you saw it here first!!

  • Comment number 11.

    Wow, what an amazing invention, how do these people come up with this sort of stuff!

  • Comment number 15.

    Forgot to mention that my mommy puts a special powder in my dinner when I have runny doo-doo. She says it tastes like powder glucose that her nan used to give her when she was a kid. It's really for dogs but cats and Shoomans can use it too and itworks a treat!!

    I can't remember what it is called but I'll get the details later and post them up here for you.

    Cheers again

  • Comment number 19.

    Now who one day sat down and thought to see if you could freeze dog poo. Thank goodness for people like him anyway.

    Hazel have a lovely holiday!

    Had a lovely moment with little man earlier when on the way home from the mother in laws. We saw that the lambs have been born and he was so excited. I didn't like to tell him that lamb was what we had for dinner at nannies house. What are the chances of that!

    And I was smiling until the little blighter had a tantrum in Tesco's and bit me anyway. He has never done that before and judging by the look on his face after, he will not be doing it again either.

    Love to all

    South of the middle and north of the south, if you follow me! I'd get the washing off the line just in case and if you have any hatches then batten them down (whatever that means!). And definitely starting backing PC up, if only cos its nearly time to pack it all away for the day!!

    We have a dog in the family (belongs to the outlaws) and she's about 2 years old and very excitable.

    For some reason, this mutt doesn't like Mr Diva at all and every time nip round there she barks and barks and barks at him until she poops herself.

    It has us in stitches (and a very quick exit) every time!

    Woof Woof Poop!

  • Comment number 40.

    ummmmmmmmmm ok!

    Well the fella and I had a lovely day today. We popped in the city and did a couple of bits and bobs. We had to go to that bargin clothes place beginning with PR to get him some smart things for a gig he is playing at tonight. I think on saturday I actually might get to use the term 'i'm with the band' as watching him play.
    Anyway we then went to that lovely pizza place in the forum in norwich. Oh it was lovely!

    Wilsmar- I thought that when I first read the title!

    Wonderfulbobbyjim- how did we suddenly get onto the Mc Cann story?! I really cant go onto subject otherwise I might go into a rant! And you don't want to read that!

    Gingembre- love that we know the same people in Norwich and some with big bums as well!!! hehe! Sorry private joke!

    CTD- fab story! I could actually see that happening!

    CtD Im with you on the people not doin the doodo, people, PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG, we never venture out on walkies with out at least three nappy bags and some kitchen towel, Our walk to school in the morning is a nightmare as the stuff is everywhere, and trying to navigate a lunatic scooter riding boy and a buggy thru it is nerve wracking to say the least.....

    Hi all, just back from the hospital - over 2 flippin' hours worth of journey - I need a car!! Still, mum much better, eating and drinking a bit, so I'm happy.

    Hey Debbie, had a much better day thanks, running round like a blue-behinded whatsit! Still not happy about the argument, but I'm trying to let it go!!

    The post about your wee man biting you made me chuckle - won't be doing it again hahaha. Hope it's not too deep!

    Off for kip anyway, since I've to be up and doing it all again in 7 hours - boooooo!!!

    AF xx

    ps loved reading the posts about everyone's canine friends. The cat's very civilised (apart from the aforementioned vomiting...) so I enjoy a good laugh about dogs!!
