Time for everyone to enjoy my latest problems and learn more about ancient English cistern technology.  :'(



I assume this model is known as the Condom BalcockUp.

A Ball
B Syphon (representation; not full detail)
C Arm
D Plastic Screw
E Plastic Stopper
F Plastic Tube (stopper plugs hole in top denoted by pink line X )
G Open ended Condom

Problem One
A and B emit loud pitched screeches worse than police sirons depending on position of screw D.

Problem Two
When someone breaks off plastic stopper E (don't ask), water syphons out all over the room.

Problem Three
Even open ended condoms perish.

===================================

Never mind. I am coping.

I may charge for viewings of my solutions.

===================================

B&Q have nothing comparable. :ROFL:

You need a new potty.

A nice "right height" handicap-accessibility designed one.

Or marry a plumber.

Have you tried applying the laws of Quantum mechanics.  If you divide the half life of the open ended condom by the mass of your ball cock, you should arrive at a constant value for the trajectory of X.

I'm not as daft as I look.  I once had to cope with a frozen Ball Cock....so I have had practical experience!

All experience comes in handy I guess. ;)

It's funny you should mention that...the Pirate Housewives Coffee Break magazine would agree with you.
