I agree with using the cloth, even if it's just becaue of the bulk. I heard of one mum whos' bub hated nappies (all sorts) so much that at 10 months she made a bargain with him that after changing a wet nappy, he could go 15 mins without one on at all. Kid soon learned to pee as soon as the new nappy was put on, so it was then removed for 15 mins. This was easy to transition to the toilet as he then didn't need any nappies put on at all - which he loved. totally toilet trained at 15 months, from memory, including nights. This was all sparked off by hating having a nappy on - so see if you can't strike a bargain with him like this! Also try a pingpong ball in teh loo - it won't flush adn he can practice aiming at it. Another thing that will help is moving a potty into the lounge so playing isn't as interrupted.
