I've usually heard this as an adjective, e.g. "School food was a load of old pony" rather than a noun or a verb.

This thread has changed course a bit, hasn't it?

I can't remember any CH euphemisms for bodily functions.......you didn't normally broadcast your...erm movements .....coz you would probably get water hurled over the top of the cubicle or some other misfortune.

Not a lot you can say about the original.

a load of old pony works for me too.

Euphemisms really weren't our thing, were they?

Re. the water thing. Yes, I remember that - but at least it didn't matter if the old-fashioned hard bog roll got wet. Not exactly absorbent.....

Certainly no good after a curry, but, then again, what passed for 'curry' at C.H. was not exactly challenging in the spice department.

yes, englishangel...she looks as though she's trying to "work something out"..........(been studying JR's joke book).

I don't need JRs, I have my own.

Trying to produce a Yule Log, perhaps?

If you were to change your avatar again, this whole conversation would become meaningless.......

Could this thread be described as lavatorial humour ?

No, just a bit of bog-standard banter!
