General knowledge question

#1 Post by flatlander » Tue Jun 26, 2012 10:29 pm

Look at the typical modern blueish hot water bottle in the. Link

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_water_bottle

See the small hole at the base where it looks like the bottle was taken out of the mould ... Who knows what it's really for? I can think of at least a couple of you that should :smt002

is it a special release valve to turn pubes grey if the bottle gets humped by a randy badger in the night?


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Ah what the heck I can't keep it to meself

Story begins on holiday in Russia wifelet starting to feel unwell says can you be a dear and go find me a hot water bottle...,

So  in case it is news iI am in Russia on holiday. :) definitely plan on coming back ...

Tell tou what bloidy iPhone and all the open wifi places have come in handy...
Try buying a hot water bottle in a chemist in Russia without one! 
Iean if you dont seak the lingo  

Especially google images for buying hot water bottles ! Fresky to think about really, stoll reqiired me to act out boiling the kettle etc ...And even freakier they sell them in the chemist for about 3£

No ...wait sorry That's not the freaky bit....

The freaky bit is they come with an enema kit !!!!

No ...wait sorry That's not the freaky bit....

The kit comes with multiple attachments !!!

Yup see the little hole in the rubber at the bottom of a hot water bottle that we mentioned earlier? 

I always thought that was like a moulding thing

Nope it's where you hang ot up for a DIY. bum flush !!! 

Arggghhh

Nice, St. Petersbug, I'm asuming onthe Neva.

Went there a while back, when the iron curtain was still up no less.

Awesome place true enough only a flying visit 4 days there 4 in Moscow and 10 in Sochi on the black sea, probably all in different countries now.

Enjoy the views and don't limit yourself to ogling the countryside and architecture, I'm sure you'll have noticed already.

She's probably sending you out for a hot water bottle plus attachments - all part of a local flu remedy
