Not just ladies, these are those 'booster' seats for people who are unable to sit on a regular toilet seat.

And... whilst we're thinking "booster", look at the Weird Stuff video alongside - the diamond encrusted bra!

Wowee!!!

Thank you, CHAZ!

Bras coincé dans les WC pour le passager d'un TGV

L'incident, pour le moins insolite, a bloqué le train La Rochelle-Paris pendant plus de deux heures dans une gare de Charente-Maritime.

Un conseil : si vous faites tomber votre téléphone dans les toilettes d'un train, ne cherchez pas à le retrouver ! Dimanche soir, un passager d'un TGV La Rochelle-Paris en a fait la malencontreuse expérience. Résultat : il s'est retrouvé avec un bras coincé dans la cuvette des toilettes. Un incident rare qui a obligé le TGV à s'arrêter plus de deux heures en gare de Surgères (Charente-Maritime), afin de permettre aux pompiers de dégager le bras de la victime.

Guy gets his arm stuck in the toilet of a TGV train whilst trying to get his mobile which fell into the john: Now how silly is that?!! :lol:

Apparently they had to cut away the toilet seat to get to his arm as he was sucked in by the vacuum pump.

TGV = Train Grand Vitesse,

Doncha just love the word pompiers? Every time a fire engine goes past I think, just look at those brave pompiers!

Exactly right Mary. The TGV has I believe the land speed record of over some 500km/h though they only go about 300Km/h now for the public

In Shanghai you can take the fast train form the airport and this tops 403km/h. It's a magnetic hover ...amazing.

There is indeed somethung very "manly" about the word pompier. In fact they are a lot more than just firemen. They are also nearly always first to an accident scene and administer life saving First Aid.

A lot more manly than those OBs who have gold chains, chest hair and toupées!!! He he :lol:
