h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The availability of public toilets is inversely proportional to the number of people seeking them, and also correlates inversely with the urgency of their need.

If only I'd gone to university I could have done my thesis on public toilets (as opposed to in them). If, of course, I could have figured out what course I would have to do in order to be allowed to spout about loos! *lol*

But anyway, many years ago now some local publishing mob brought out a faaaabulous little book called "The Sydney Good Loo Guide" and it was all about public toilets around Sydney (funny, that). It rated them for cleanliness, accessibility, the degree of dysfunctionality of the soap dispensers and so on. And it was witty!!! I'm still experiencing disappointment that it didn't stay on the bestseller list for 8 years.

*hum* But, getting back to the point, which was to comment on your illustrious words... uh, well, yes, I agree. Quite right. Have a cup of tea on me.

I don't know about the rest of the world but in UK, if you need a Loo, just look for a huge yellow M sign. Here you will find a useable urinal at least. Many such installations come complete with refreshments and if anything displeases you simply order one of the minions -who should be in great evidence- to deal with it for you

i ordrered minions once. had them fried and they were terrible.

Minions are better grilled on a skiddle, left to cool, and then simply reheated by microwave at a later date.... add or remove relish to taste... Share and Enjoy!

By the way, polystyrene boxes are an ideal way to store any spare Minions you have lying around.

thanks for the tip. i'll keep that in mind.

Minions don't travel well on Skidoos though..... or rather a person eating minions doesn't travel well on a skidoo, if I were you, I'd pack snow shoes if you're planning on minions.. Just a thought.

What are minions?

Oh, hello Mrs Slartibartfast, fancy seeing you here.

yes mr. garabaldi, we do seem to bump into each other quite a bit. see you back at the party.

The Kalahari is the second worst place to find a public toilet. The worst is Glastonbury, UK - annually at the end of June.

Please Exlpain?!!

At Glastonbury each summer there is a music festival where 10,000 people descend on a field and share a single chemical toilet.
Well, it's not exactly that situation but it seems like that.

I see. And if one person gets the runs, every one who goes ends up getting the runs. I know what you mean.

Nope, it's 100,000 people, and the only chemicals in the toilet are the ones produced by it's users!

It's the only place in the world I've seen toilets so full that the contents are taller than the seat...

Twiglet anybody

I just held my poo in for 5 days and became very ill and slightly larger. On the way home we stopped at a petrol station where we all relieved ourselves. I was just leaving the (was clean/now over full) toilet, when a group of girls, obviously just from the festival, say, "ohh lets stop here, theyll have clean toilets!" Ha ha.

I agree with you on that one Mrs. Slartibartfast
