It could be he is just out on the lash day in day out with a few kormas. Or his psycho wife has told him that shitting is a way to overcome his abuse as a child and this is his expression of that.

Which reminds me, while I think it’s great that the Sikh community provided all those lovely free curry meals to stranded lorry drivers in Kent, surely it’s not the most sensible of dinner if you don’t have suitable access to a bog and are using the M20 verge to offload? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I hear, lorry drivers tend to suffer from constipation and piles, so it might even things out a bit 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bentrovato 1,089 Posted December 24, 2020 So what can gather from this, is that if the big yin can get in a queue somewhere with a bunch of lorry drivers, shit himself ad infinitum, blame it on the food and not his very rapid deterioration due to other reasons, he should be okay for a decade or two. Marvellos. Scratch him off the list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
