I found pre-flattened toilet rolls in an Italian supermarket.
Are you sure that they weren't just a form of pasta?

I work for an Italian company and just asked one of my colleagues and she confirmed it's called bogerolli.

Funnily enough, Macrobe's first stop on his great national debate PR exercise was in a place called Grand Bourgtheroulde, and I reckon that great bugger-all will come of it.

Good job the website is working OK.

Recently I discovered that it's possible to get seat reservations on the train with a season ticket.  Great news as often it can be a scrum to get a seat and I really really don't like standing.

Bad news is that I've now got a personal daily assertiveness challenge to turf out anyone who beats me to the seat ::-)

What else to take to the Brexit bunker ?



bog roll is all very well, but olive pesto, tricolore pasta and gnocchi from taly,
( while you can still get it ) are essentials for our customers !

I wouldn't be so quick to mock - things like pesto, jars of olives and tapenade do at least help to add flavour to the rat'n'neeps diet will we all be subsisting on.

Things in jars and bottles keep a long time, plus the containers come in handy later for home brew, rodent traps and molotov cocktails.

Molotov cocktails are fossil fuel powered and bad for the environment.  I'm going to be lobbing LiPo batteries instead.

I've been practising building siege weapons, mark 2 ballista is in my head, as is a basic torsion powered catapult.

I'm building up to the car-flinging scale, after all we won't have the fuel for them

I hope that Mrs E and Eminor (unless he seeks asylum or hides with the Italian rellies) will look after me. Both of them are handy with bows and rifles.

The Tikkurulla paint used to redecorate our hall is indeed an excellent matt finish but it has a higher coefficient of friction than farrow and ball, which means I shall have to modify my previous method of descending stairs by ricocheting off the walls.

The Grand Escalier of Larrington Towers has some uncommonly durable hessian stuff on the walls.  Using your bare elbows as brakes is not recommended.
