It was while we were living in Darwin, shortly after Cyclone Tracy destroyed
the town on Christmas Eve, 1974.  We were living in one of the few homes
still left standing, a three bed-room home with two WC's.  If the house had
a drawback it was its location that lay close to the banks of a mangrove
lined creek.  Apart from crocodiles and mosquitos, the major problem was
frogs that - despite all of my efforts - used to find their way into the
house in record numbers.  One night, I gathered up as many as I could,
rushed into one of the toilets and flushed them all down the loo.

Now I'm not a plumber, so I don't really understand how this particular unit
worked.  But instead of going on a long voyage to where-ever, all of the
frogs immediately re-appeared in the other toilet bowl.  I know it was
immediate because I heard Sylvia screaming!  (Apparently my timing was -
depending on your point of view and where you happened to be sitting at the
time - either spot-on, or very, very, very poor!)  :-)

Sylvia still believes that one day, I might grow up!   :-)

BTW, Huw!  You're now starring on Asian Diver Magazine's web-site!  :-)
