Thanks for the replies chaps! I didn't get a chance to read your response Andrew until thursday evening, so I had a go at the urinals thursday daytime and shocked myself by managing to go pretty much straight away. I had already geared myself up with a couple of the things you mention eg. fluid loading, planning to fake it and use cubicles, and I'd tried to stop myself over-thinking things, and just got into a kind of 'who cares, it's worth trying' mindset. I was quite fortunate as although there were people using the cubicles and people around generally, there was no one in really close proximity. I didn't try stopping myself and using them again later though. I might try doing that when i have more free time, and can afford to pop back regularly (I can't get away with it during work so much). I managed to use them again twice today though, at a different toilet this time. There were a few more people using the urinals the first time, so seemed like slightly more of a challenge i guess. I'm just amazed i'm managing to go at all. I dont know if it's because i've been using cubicles in public loos alot more recently or something and grown accustomed to it. I wish i'd tried sooner. I don't doubt i'll have some lock-ups as i start increasing the difficulty abit, but i think I probably need to so i can get used to the idea that it's normal to misfire. At the moment i'm kind of running on success, whereas it'll be a bigger test to lock-up and learn to get back on the horse afterwards so to speak. Thanks again for the replies, i'll keep you posted on my progress over the coming weeks. J
