If your name was Baldrick, I'd say something about that being a cunning plan...

Yes, it would be a cunning plan - but then, as I don't have anything to do with that particular place and haven't even been in any of the forums, it wouldn't help me much to encourage people to go there.
Do they really want semi-drunk louts gatecrashing from the toilets, though?

Who's semi-drunken and loutish?!??!

Well... I went there... but I don't require their services. Very pretty pink colour though

Yes, isn't it.
So, has anyone got an answer to the Unexplained Mystery of the Toilet?

Bluebottle Posted Jun 19, 2000
The Unexplaiened mystery of the toilet is: why do women have to go to the toilet together, and spend hours in there? Are they trying to prove to each other that they actually went to the toilet, do they have competetions to see who went to the toilet the most? And then, after sharing the toilet with 47 other women, why do they moan about queues?
Completely insane.

Ahhh! Well, it's so that one can hold the door closed while the other one is *performing*! The locks very rarely work. Plus we need someone to share the graffiti with, and we need someone to tell us if our make-up still looks good and, if not, to lend us a supply of same!
Has that answered your question BB?

I guess so.
So, why don't women carry screwdrivers in their handbags as well as perfume & make-up, so that when they go to a public loo they can fix the locks as well as touch themselves up (in a make-up way)

ROFL!
It has been known to happen... believe me!

Really? 
Spending a couple of seconds at a urinal seem to make things an awful lot easier...
So, do gents and ladies toilets get different types of graffiti, I wonder?
The Public Toilets
shazzPRME Posted Jun 22, 2000
Not that I've ever noticed! I think that there are probably a few more badly-drawn hearts in the ladies... but the reading matter seems just the same!
We also probably have more machines then you! LOL

Maybe. One thing I have noticed is that at all the schools I've been to, when they closed the gents for cleaning and made everyone use the ladies, in all of them, the ladies had carpets on the floor and blokes just had some stone thing. I felt that was a bit unfair - but then, the carpets in the ladies stank too... I don't think all girls know how to aim.
When the ladies was closed, the girls weren't allowed to use the gents, but had to use the disabled. Very strange and unfair as the guys weren't allowed to.

Hello again Shazz! So, what "machines" are these?
Dare I ask?
The Public Toilets
shazzPRME Posted Jun 22, 2000
Hehehe! Well, you're school must have been unique BB! Carpets in the toilets? Only at very posh hotels etc from my experience... never in any of the schools I've been in!
Hi Zaphod
ummm... well:
ladies personal hygiene requirements
a good night to be had by all machines ( if you're lucky in all flavours and colours!)
Emergency kits of all sorts... sefety pins, lipstick, soap, hairpins, etc etc
Travel toothbrush and paste kit
I have seen more, but not in a while

I won't mention the machines you normally get in the Gents... Apart from the ones which blow your hands dry (eventually) oh, and the sinks.
As for the carpets in the Ladies toilets, they were very dull and green/brown. No-where near "posh" by any means of the word. Don't ask me why they were there, but they were. And they stank of a mixture of people going to the toilet, perfume and various cleaning stuff.
I definately wouldn't want to hang around in there all day! Going somewhere that'll make you stink in order to discreetly apply perfume won't work in THOSE circumstances
