World Toilet Day - Thank You Toilet by Louie the Loo

LYRICS

I am your toilet, so how do you do.

I take away your wee, and the odd number two.

For a quiet moment, I'll always be there.

Bring in your troubles, you don't even have to care.

Oh think about the things you put me through.

(Things you put me through, that have been through you.)

Stuff from your body I'll happily take,

Liquid or solid, whatever you make.

When you think of all the things that I do,

It's time to say thanks to your loo.

If I wasn't there anymore,

You can only imagine disaster.

I am a lifesaver and that is not a lie,

Where I don't exist, thousands die.

So next time you have to, do a poo or a wee.

Thank the sanitary saints that you have a me.

When you think of all the things that I do,

It's time, to say thanks to your loo.

La la la la la la la la la la,

La la la la la la laaa

La la la la la laa

Join Louie the Loo to celebrate the little guy in the corner - your toilet! Did you know he's a life-saver, and where toilets don't exist, thousands die?

Around 700,000 children die every year from diarrhoea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation - that's almost 2,000 children a day.

Today is World Toilet Day, a UN recognized event, observed annually on 19 November. This international day of action aims to break the taboo around toilets and draw attention to the global sanitation challenge. To mark the occasion, I thought I would post this video for the 'before-you-go' toilet spray Poo-Pourri (a play on potpourri), which has got over 19m views on YouTube in just over two months. It certainly breaks the taboo around toilets, but also demonstrates how lucky (?) we are to not only have proper toilets, but also products to stop them smelling. Meanwhile, over 2.5 billion people don't have access to proper sanitation.

Bruno Mars sings "Don´t give up"

When you want to do something that’s new
And it seems really, really hard to do
You feel like quitting, you feel you're through
Well I have some advice for you

Don’t give up
Keep on trying
You’re gonna make it
I ain't lying
Don’t give up, don’t ever quit
Try and try and you can do it
Don’t give up, yeah

If you want to catch a ball
But you’re having no luck at all
The ball hits your head, it hits your nose
It hits your belly, your chin and toes
Well, try and try and try again
Keep on trying until the end
You put your hands out in the air
You’ll catch the ball
Yes, this I swear

Don’t give up,
Keep on going
You’re on a boat,
So keep on rowing
Don’t give up, don’t ever stop
Try and try and you’ll come out on top
Don’t give up

You got yourself rollerskates
You put them on
And you feel great
You stand up
Then you fall, don’t think you can skate at all
You get back up, then you trip,
You skip and tip and slip, and flip
You try and try and try some more
Soon you’re skating across the floor

Don’t give up, keep on moving,
You’re gonna get there, just keep on grooving
Don’t give up, don’t pack it in
Try and try, and you’ll win
Don’t give up, no no no
Don’t give up, no no no
Don’t give up, no no no
Don’t give up, no no
Don’t give up!

Pinocchio gets a Woody for HIV prevention

“Woody” (English slang for an erection) represents one of the more than half-million European walking around — and clubbing, and having sex — without realizing that they are HIV positive.
