Prostates and pelvic floors being what they are, I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone came up with a website for movie-goers who lose the plot (literally) because their bladders can't make it through a screening.
That website is RunPee.com, an online help-line that takes the guesswork out of when to take a dunny break without missing any crucial scenes or plot twists.
The site covers all sorts of movies and tells you when it's a good time to head to the toilet, how long you've got to do the biz, and then gives you a short synopsis of what you've missed while you were away.
In the case of My Life In Ruins (pictured above), you're safe to go 45 minutes into the movie and have four minutes to get back to your seat.
Brilliant or what? You can check it out here and there's also a blog here.
On another wet note, did you see the story in The West on Wednesday about rain delaying the opening of the new Perth to Bunbury highway?
It was pretty unremarkable except for spokeswoman Tammy Mitchell, who when asked about the delay said, "We've had a constant series of rain events."
God help us. Whatever happened to "raining a lot"? Or even a good old Australian, "It's been pissing down"?

Well it appears that a lot of words are being side lined for various reasons. Accident becomes incident or occurrence as it doesn't sound as alarming. Incident usually covers car accidents work accidents and incidences where there are injuries. Occurrence is for non-injury or damage accidents. I discovered this in the occupational health and safety course I did. But i have to wonder what word is event replacing?
That's such an ingenious invention! So is BitTorrent! I've strangely never had that problem really. Maybe I will when I'm older.
After the series of rain events there were a bunch of cloud events and eventual sun events followed soon by night events. The cycle started again. It was very newsworthy.
Kevin Rudd is the poster boy for the new language. He never uses a simple word when something incomprehensible will do.

Birgitta, my granddad had to have the lower half of his arm amputated at work when it got caught in huge steel rollers. If anyone had called that an arm incident I think my father would have arranged a murder event.
Bilby, it's a great website, you should start contributing runpee critiques (it's your chance to drink abnormally large amounts of water for the greater good of movie goers).
Suzanne, I bet he can do it in Mandarin too.
Gail, it's a special talent (called Too Much Time On Her Hands). My dream is to have fillings that pick up messages from passing space ships.

Bilby, I love pointless sites. You're talking to someone who can spend hours clicking on the fart button. Thanks for the heads-up on these, keep em coming.
