Tell her to 'man' up! It's not that bad!

I went for a crap at the portaloos at the back of the Pyramid field last year. Now, usually I use the long drops as the portaloos are awful by 2 days in but I saw a cleaner cleaning then....which I've never seen before.

Anyway, the thing was immaculate, clean seat, clean bowl TOILET PAPER the works!

Yeah I used them ones last year at the end of the editors set. First time Ive used the portaloos always used the longdrops & I was surprised how clean it was & the smell wasn't even that bad. I remember sittin there singin along to smokers outside the hospital ward.

A few years ago, I amused myself while on a Portaloo in Pyramid field, having a bout of highly-explosive molten dyssentery during Moby's set, by singing "Why Does My Arse Feel So Bad", as the bald techno-ferret played the hit of similar name.

Certainly took my mind off the fact that my charred ringpiece felt like a dragons nostril.

Use the toilets earllier in the day the better - if she is really fussy there are some flushing loos up near the farm and they are great!

And take an empty large fabric conditioner bottle with wide neck for you + jug for her for nightime emergency wees. Tesco do a 4 litre bottle of it for £1.79

[barbienightmare]

Are we talking the 2 separate compartments type of porta loo here??

does she know how far someone may need to carry it when you arrive, now thats a whole 'wheel barrow' needed and for just the loo.... and where where you planning on keeping your porta loo as it fill up ? next to your lilo and sleeping bag outside the tent ? doubling up as a table when the lid is down ?

... and who gets to lug it across field (or mud) to empty it then? being the b/f in your relationship then I suspect you do my friend !

If I was you I would suggest to your gf that a simple bucket for times of need would be suffice, and a packet of immodium is a sure way of reducing the amount of bigger jobs too

ps. .... take her out bucket shopping ..... nappy buckets come with a lid, .. and camping shops have buckets with a seat if you want the luxury bucket

I found the best way to use the toilets was when i was smashed, that way you dont really know what is going on. Thats why i forgot my toilet roll and had to use my socks!!

now thats a good one..... there was a posh old bird on the tv once she suggested ladies should always carry a paper cup in the pockets.... just incase , then you simply throw it away...

sounds good in theory ..

[FestMonster]

Just use the good toliets at the top of the pryamid field walk up the hill and you will see them on your left under the worthy fm sign go around 7am as they are always cleaned around that time

[K8P]

I wouldn't bother, you still have to empty it in the loos then in that case you might as well do your business.

Thus giving you more time to do the things you ought to be doing.

[K8P]

Or you could just fill it up and leave it there only to be found by some poor kid picking litter

[strudders]

Yay, I new this would pop up sooner or later

[K8P]

I hope it does not.

Nothing could be worse than a popping up turd whilst sitting on a shitbox in your own tent........

You see that does it for me. Why would you want to do it in your own tent......

I would nip around and use somebody else's!

[strudders]

You could mistake somebodies coolbox in the early hours!

[popcornmaster]

like mentioned;

go in the morning preferably, i went for a couple in the morning and i dare i say it the toilet's smell bordered on...nice and fresh
