Most of [Patrticia] Evans's clients are female, and most of them come for either constipation or, aargh, faecal incontinence, but they also come to see her to learn how to poo properly. The lavatory, she says, has taught us such bad habits -- the way...

New books only have a shelf life of about six months, and if they don't sell within six months they'll leave the store. They'll live forever in a used bookstore. Oh, that time I found a 1950s children's prayer book, decorated with fucking engravings,...
