Mark Albrighton Posted September 30, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2020 Will put here due to the relatively trivial nature. A recent observation re covid - you know when you go for a piss, particularly at a urinal and for whatever reason you decide to spit at the same time. Nope can’t do it now, wearing a mask. Those halcyon days are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 What is the need to spit? I don’t think I’ve ever in my life spat in the street or in to a urinal. Do some people have some sort of condition? Do they generate more spit than they can swallow? Or is it just a spitting habit? Or something I haven’t thought of? Genuinely curious as I’ve never done it so my default is that there’s no need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Had some cracked/rough skin on the heel of my foot. Used some foot cream and it worked, but now I can’t scratch my leg with the heel of my foot, which I quite liked doing tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I suppose when I’m running I might, but only when I’m in a more rural setting, away from where people will see it, country lanes, by hedges/foliage. I definitely work up more saliva when running. Can’t explain why I’m inclined to spit when standing at a urinal. Maybe wearing a mask will put a permanent stop to it.

You can still spit with a mask on.It just means that the spit wont go in the urinal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted November 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2020 I suppose partly inspired by the counting to 1000 thread, but just noticed I’m on 6,789 likes which is the last time my count will be in sequence like that unless I reach 8,910. Then it’ll be an even longer wait before the pleasing visual of 12,345. Unless people decide to remove enough likes to drop me back to 5,678 of course. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that most carpet places will stitch a nice edge onto an off cut of carpet to make it like a rug, not expensive either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed the spit was a delaying tactic for men who can’t go if someone is at the urinal next to them ... if timed correctly the spit buys you time whilst the person near you completes the shake and puts it away...

Paddywhack Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I’m sure the colour peach was a much bigger deal when I was at primary school. I definitely haven’t said indigo as much in adult life as I was prepared for either, but it has cropped up occasionally. I haven’t heard anyone call a colour peach in 25 years. I’m sure I was taught it was as popular as purple or brown. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
