1. Did you know that margerine is really grey in colour? Most of them put food colouring in to make it yellow.
This years ago from the marvellous Warrior Princess. I have never willingly eaten any margerine since except for the one she insisted was actually genuinely yellow as it's butter mixed with Olive oil to make it lighter or spreadable or something. (Lurpak, if you're wondering).
2. Which way round should toilet paper hang? Towards the wall or away from it?
This from another blogger - Mr Salvadore Vincent from Smaller than Life. I had never even thought of this before reading this post. Now I am absolutely certain that it must ALWAYS face outwards otherwise all is not right in my world. Sad but true.

are you really related to me??? that you never considered the toilet roll issue before joining blogworld makes me wonder if we share the same genetic material after all. i have spent a good portion of my life being driven mad by idiots who put toilet paper the 'wrong' (I SAID WRONG!!!!) way round.
facing outwards is quite clearly the right way of doing it, and anyone who says otherwise is a complete Paul Anka. i am relieved you have finally Seen The Light. what took you so long?
ps it also drives me mad when commenters comment on their word verification (apart from you, Bulldog) but i have to share this one: blograp. genius.
ps that deleted one above, that was me. sorry. now my WV is syliz. sigh.
I always understood that it is poor toilet etiquette to hang the roll so that it hangs down against the wall. This makes the user have to scrabble against the wall to get hold of it. As photographed, the correct way to hang the loo roll is so that it hangs nearest to the, er, sitter.
Yuk yuk yuk, thats why im glad i only eat lurpack!
I think it might depend on whether it is a toilet roll holder (like the one you have pictured) where the toilet roll rests against the wall, or one like this where it is always held a fixed distance away from the wall regardless of decreasing roll diameter. This picture just looks wrong; I refer you again to the Simpsons' "improper overhand fashion".
Weez - My madness has grown slowly over the years - I think it's important to give your OCD a good solid base!
Soupy - I'm with you on that one. Why would you put it the other way round? Why???
Wee - I always feel a bit funny eating anything else these days. I've never tried to find out if it's actually true though...
Salvadore - you have an amazing encyclopedic knowledge about toilet roll which I can only aspire to!
Hello
1) I knew that about margarine and I have been seriously averse to eating it ever since. The idea of eating something grey - it seems to be the most unnatural colour for a food! Thankyou for the heads-up with Lurpak.
2) Definitely definitely toilet paper facing outwards, as in your picture. No other way is acceptable in my opinion - it bothers me.
The reason (I say humbly, being in the clear minority) that I hang loo paper with the end towards the wall is that if it's hanging loose I need two hands, one to hold and one to tear it. If the end is at the back, a sharp one-handed tug and I have the two or three squares I want.
So I'm afraid if I visit your loo, I'll probably use yards of your toilet paper.
HA! I changed your life... That means you'll remember me forever. :)
