What is the world coming to when a man is sent out shopping with a list made by his wife and gets flogged when he gets home for having bought toilet paper?! Having walked at least a mile to get these groceries and having achieved to get 90% of the items on the list save for a few extravagant items that did not fit in the budget that was provided by the wife, is it not fair for the man to choose for himself one item that he wanted that was not on the list?
I say it is time to take a stand! We cannot let these atrocities pass us idly by any longer.
All ye who be with me say aye!
(and wear your pirate faces)

Aye!
Tis a minor request to meet a man's simple needs for access to adequate soft rolled paper for wiping his arse.

OMG!!!
A mile? You mean a less than 5 minute walk is a mile to you? We had enough rolls of the same brand in the house to be fine for a few days. We would have gotten more when needed. All buying them today did, was prevent our getting some chips and goodies.
And what in 2015 does anyone having a penis or not have to do with it? Shame on you. Shame. Shame.
On a related note, the cost of TP in Belfast is criminal here.

But sometimes guys need a male centric safe-zone where bros can just be bros, and share bro talk with other bros. Bro. |

I've been mocked for buying toilet paper here when we have plenty. It's doesn't expire so I buy heaps when it's on special.
I'm wondering how much it costs in Belfast. For comparison it costs about 25 pence here or about 35 U.S. cents per roll.

Well that depends on what kind you get, how many you get and when and where you get it.

I have a favorite brand and type here in the US (Not sure if Scott is international). Nothing special, like extra soft or quilted, just regular plain TP. But it lasts the longest, doesn't shred or rip, and feels fine for something that goes straight into the sewers. It took me a while to convince prove to the wife it was the best option economicaly and fiscally, and wouldn't sacrifice "comfort". Whenever it's on discount I grab a 12 pack (usually abt $7.99 USD) because I hate running out.
I assume this is similar to how the ladies discuss feminine products. Both discussions are definitely in the "gross out TMI" zone of life; tho I feel we've all become a bit closer now. Lol.

2.00 pounds which is 3.05 dollars for 4 rolls, it is price printed on actual packing so not a store specific cost. .75 cents a bloody roll. I am looking into amazon to buy in bulk since that is just whack what "his" brand costs, beyond whack.

I am looking into amazon to buy in bulk since that is just whack what "his" brand costs, beyond whack. Which equates to pretty much the same price as what 13thGeneral is paying per roll. In the Netherlands I used to buy packs of 24 or 36 rolls when they were on sale and I would pay like 7 to 8 euros per pack and get several packs. And it wasn't crappy toilet paper. At least not before it was used. |

Nice to be you, guys. I don't have the luxury of choice. We just buy whatever (and wherever) is cheapest.

I am glad I have access to at least semi-quality TP, and am well aware there are others whom don't. There was a time I could only afford the cheapest thin, yet oddly sand-paper like textured, rolls from the deep discount stores. We still make due with buying on discount sales from the better retailers, but at least it doesn't chafe. If I could, I'd send out bundles of butt caressing heaven to everyone. I seriously would. |

Okay, I lost it at "butt-caressing heaven". You even made me forget the fear of leaving the apartment building caused by lack of a porch (reconstruction, you know how it is - the replacement for now is made of planks and I weigh over a centner, so the feeling of them bend under me is really something).

I found a pharmacy down our street that has cushelle 4 packs for 2 for 2 pounds. I am going to go load up in a few days. lol. I personally have used crap, pun intended, TP and do not mind it. Mr Ba'al is the Mr. Picky Bum in this house. I would use newspaper they drop off for free, but Ba'al said we might get ink poisoning from it and would have black ink bums from it. What a couple. lol.
MS, I am sorry, I really I could help you in some way. You are so highly intelligent with many skills. Is there any vids you could put on Youtube to make some cash or perhaps a Kickstarter for a project you might have in mind?

No, none. I was thinking of creating a game somewhat a Majesty-like mix of city builder and RTS, but the concept is falling apart and I have no programming nor art skills. And to do a Kickstarter, you need at least a proof of concept. It would be something interesting for me, though. All the buildings except the main one would be flying. And everyone would be able to use fast travel thorough these buildings.

Unity would still need custom assets. Not even to mention that I have no idea how to implement the "density" mechanic (not the population density, it's... Who I'm kidding, this is never gonna be created anyway, so I'm not telling).
