Not sure - I've found some which might be the source but I need to get rid of it first to check (it's inside the bowl, in the holes the flushing water comes through.) Which is annoying, since I use loo blocks to prevent that ... hey ho - to the supermarket I go ...

I actually bought a hand-held device with a little TV screen and a meter or so of fiber-optics.
Originally, it was to fix a tub drain that wouldn't close. Since then I've used it to inspect for lint in a dryer vent "hose" and even down a shower drain to find Mrs. earring (though it was in an unrecoverable location) (it's quite waterproof - and has a built-in LED)
I was going to loan it to you, but you've things well-in-hand.
Actually, it's a good investment: when I retire I'll make a little money on the side (pun intended) setting up a do-it-yourself discount protoscopic exam franchise "The Hole Thing".

As a side note, we had a similar smell by the Kitchen.
Turned out a small animal had gotten trapped in the attic, and then trapped inside the wall.
Took weeks for it to dry out and the smell to go away.
We called some people who literally said "We could rip the walls apart, and then put them back together... But the paint will never match, etc. etc. etc."
Thanks for bringing back the memory. But it may be in the wall. Try on the other side of the wall.

 Sorry to disappoint, but it's not in the wall. The walls here are solid granite, 2 foot thick. They have disadvantages: putting up a shelf is a major project for example, but they have advantages too: putting up a shelf is a major project so Herself doesn't ask for it often (or at all); they take a long time to heat up and cool down so the temperature in the house is pretty stable provided you get the air to move about a bit.

If the toilet is loose at all, then the wax o-ring seal may be broken.
This literally requires pulling the toilet out cleaning the old wax out,
and reseating the toilet with new wax rings. And use 2 rings if the plumbing was installed
before the floor was tiled (a lesson one learns the expensive way).
The back of the seal would give first, was we tend to lean on the front of the toilet...
YMMV
Good luck...

"Bird puts fancy fill into spray." (9)
No predictions this time as to how easy or difficult it is as I'm invariably wrong  .
Good luck.

Edit: The answer is Bullfinch
Spray = Bunch, as in bunch of flowers
put a fancy (anagram) of fill = llfi into it =>Bu llfi nch
I though the spray bit might have caught people out. I'll try to think of something much easier for tomorrow as I'm otherwise occupied on Thursday .

Dude, there are 1001 things I would think of before associating "spray" with "bunch".
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

I know that programming questions are not to be published in the Lounge and this could qualify, but still...
I tried the american coffee, and... I liked it. Even my girlfriend, who doesn't like (italian) coffee at all, liked it. So the question is: how do I brew it at home? In Italy we have mailny espresso machines and moka cafetieres, and I know nothing else.
Thanks for your suggestions

Buy cheap powdered coffee and a filter. Put coffee into filter. Heat water. Pour water over ground coffee.
Add a cows' worth of milk. Presto, American coffee.

Not really, it changes a lot - in fact watered down espresso or moka is quite terrible.

I don't know what a moca is, but espresso is just water that has been passed through ground coffee. The only difference is the amount of water used.

what are you Russian?
My Russian friends call American Coffee: Coffee Juice
Literally the Juice taken when you squeeze a little bit of real coffee into a cup of hot water.
On the other hand, Russian Coffee, to me, was thicker than Molasses or Black Tar. And it explained all of the Potholes in russian roads. They were drinking the blacktop...

Get a cafetiere[^] and ground coffee (you can use Espresso if you want to start with). You put coffee ground in, add hot water, and let it stew to the level you want. Add milk and sugar if you wish (or an extra shot of espresso if you need waking up) and Robert is your father's brother.

That's American coffee; weak and with milk. I'd prefer an Irish one.

I like that too, but you should go very easy on the coffee.![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

While this works, Robert is your Mother's Brother sounds better.

In these more equal times I also often hear "Bob's your auntie".

So you use a french press to make american coffee? 
I'm sensing a mixup of definitions here.

Easy, make a cup of good flavoured Italian Coffee, and pour into a cup. Pour the coffee down the sink. Top up the cup with hot, warm or tepid water and you have American Coffee.

Now I know how my American mates are drinking like a 40oz cup of "coffee".
