Didn't Frankie Goes To Hollywood do a great song:
The Power of Toothpaste
The Goo with a Mint Taste
Get it all over your Shirt
A voice from above
Says "What's all this Toothpaste doing all over the Bathroom Mat? and the Mirror? Let me check your face and collar - you're not going out like that!"
I am a little concerned about Matt Everett's plans to construct suspension bridges out of Shredded Wheat and toothpaste - above all, it seems a far more robust construction than most modern roads.
Any more toothpaste-related stories?
The other day I went to brush my teeth and the toothpaste had run out.
Well, I say run out - there was a little bit left.
There's always a little bit left. The tricky part is getting it out of the tube and onto the brush.
Unless it's one of the new fangled canister jobbies and then it dribbles out onto your slippers - most annoying.
I'm not buying my toothpaste in a canister then, I have enough problems with stuff dribbling out on to my slippers as it is.
Especially when you have fluffy slippers - then they look like an 80's punk rocker with spikey gelled hair.
You've been peeking through my bathroom window, haven't you?

...which I misread as "you've been peeing through my bathroom window, haven't you?" A laudable feat, assuming we're talking about inwards from outside, unless it's a ground floor facility or a ladder was used. And I bet he didn't hit the bowl. Am I now off-topic?
Haroldeyes - I was refering to my fluffy bright blue slippers but hey, now you've 'come out' - what colour are yours - huh????? I won't gossip
Cyril - get your glasses checked and yes, you're 'sort of' off topic but there's nobody to tell you otherwise so please do go off topic as much as you please. It makes life so much more interesting (IMHO). Thats why towelling floor matts were invented. I won't tell you what we used to call them in our household - I'll get banned. But the cat used to like them....
Actually, I no longer wear slippers as I now wear a pair of big blue flippers that I bought in Oxfam for Β£4.50. They help with balance and can be easily wiped off with a wet one.

I know what Ben Elton used to call them.
Why am I thinking of weebl and the comparison of the lion population in Kenya and in Norway, trajectory playing a part?
At least modern plasticky toothpaste tubes don't split so you don't get bits of toothpaste all along the tube...
Is that why you miss the bowl? Flippers too long?
Don't they make squelchy noises walking on the tiles or do you have a carpet floor in the ablutions area?
Humm - I vaguely remember the days of split toothpaste tubes. It was at the section where it was folded over and squirted out over unsuspecting fingers.

Glasses checked - still held together with sticky tape.
Plain or striped? Red, blue or both? That transparent green gel? Tooth Powder, even? Floss, bross or gloss? Mine are in the glass overnight. Glass checked - still in there. Thinking about putting them in and going off to shout in the library. Too much fluoride in the water is driving me mad. At least that's what I blame.
Flippers too long? Are you suggesting that I have a staff shortage in the parts department? You're probably right - perhaps a piece of rubber piping will help matters.
You obviously haven't been peeking through my bathroom window, must be the lady from no.24 who's a bit desperate. I have carpet throughout, hence the flippers as they maximise weight distribution, therefore the carpet will wear more evenly.
I had a tube split on me recently, must have been a duff batch. When I get to the end of my current tube (after rolling it up, running the brush handle along it etc.) I'm going to open it right up to see just how much is still left.

yes, I know my electrician said it is a good job that BS 7671 forbids the installation of standard 3-pin sockets in bathrooms, or I would be lining up the bubble bath, shampoo and shower gel bottles along with the toothpaste and the soap and shining the anglepoise on them to uncover the stoolpigeon. (cha cha cha cha).
If I asked "who's da doity rat dat went to da cops?" and the deodorant nodded its head, I would then say "for the benefit of the dental tape, we found da stinking grass!"
You have a stoolpigeon? Is that the water-saving alternative to flushing them away?

They carry them off, in a hanky tied with string, looped over their beak. Then they drop them, high over the nearest branch of RBS.
Suits me, but we could send some on a special mission to Highbury.
