Millsyisland

I'm not too proud to admit that I have been struck down with this embarassing ailment on more than one occasion, usually in a crowded public convenience. I've had to pretend to go through the motions (so to speak) and finish with the usual shake etc (apologies for the amount of information here).

Just wondered if ladies ever have this problem? I assume not as you have your own private little booths to use (us men have this option too, sometimes).

Any other men out there suffer this sometimes, or is it just me (I'll get my coat....)

Have you heard of Charlie Brooker?

In his Screenwipe show, he made an episode of a "reality help show" dealing with just this issue

When doing a Google search I've found that it's an actual medical condition, also known as paruresis - Bashful Bladder Syndrome (BBS).

I wonder if I can claim incapacity benefit for it when I go back to England?

Definitely getting my coat now - taxi for Millsyisland.......
