Shag Pile.

[Peppermint]

What's that all about?

 

[claymore]

The bathrooms are knee deep in it in Bearsden

 

[Evadne]

It's a pile that shags (and cormorants) perch on, obviously

Very 1970's

It's complaint that gay men suffer from. So I understand.

Interestingly, on the subject of piles and not really connected. "Slipped Discs", which aren't really slipped you understand, are very often caused by straining on the throne.

 

[DanTribe]

In days of old
when knights were bold
and women weren't invented,
they drilled a hole in a telegraph pole
and went away contented.

Obviously sailors used piles instead of poles.

 

[mirabriani]

I was not aware that Cormoronts suffered from piles

[Kilter]

It's what cormorants carpet your boat with!

 

[Malcb]

No, but maybe Shags do as they are smaller

 

[plombier]

I was told the way you could tell the difference between a cormarant and a shag was that a shag has a smile on it's face - now I know why /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

We could do with a bit of clarification here.........is it that you are able to emphasise with the problem through personal experience OR/ that you understand that this is the case from others?

 

[Lakesailor]

Well, when I say "So I understand" I'm trying to get across that I haven't been able to determine from personal experience, only from reading and snippets I've heard that pile-driving is an occupational hazard for those of the pink persuasion.
Of course I could be entirely misguided, but have no way of knowing.

You trying to tell me Yogi and Boo Boo's cave has shag pile carpet?

 

[roborali]

The sufferings of gay men reminds me of the worst phrase I've ever encountered (It was on channel 4) - Faecal Leakage

I'm just off to throw up

 

[Stemar]

Definitely too much information! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

A cormorant is a large blackish water bird, easily confused with Shag, but distinguished by larger size, white chin and cheeks, and, in breeding birds, by a white patch on thighs, and lack of crest.

So now guys if you now what a cormorant looks like, you know what a Shag is.

Although you could always smoke it....

I think Nicho is the authorative person to comment here, as he is the author of probably the longest running thread on the forums, on a very similar subject.

Thanks for that - I did try to smoke a Shag in the pipe once but the beak kept trying to poke me eye out /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Going too fast in marinas or harbours will.

 

[Lakesailor]

I think that's just a medical term for follow-through.
I have a relative who had a haemerroid operation and was offered a new type of post operative care, an injection.
It would reduce the post operative pain but may increase the incidence of faecal leakge they said. Not much of a choice, but he went for the pain option. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Oh yes. He acquired the haemeroids in an innocent way.
