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

I'm one of two women as well, but in a group of 5... And we are lucky to have a men's bath with a urinal, and they have to clean it themselves. And do!

good on them! maybe one day my boys will learn to aim and we will all live alot more happily

Well, one of them just likes it clean, so he's forced to do it after he realized noone else will. We've split up the cleaning 5 ways anyway, so that one person always feels responsible, that helps avoid conflict...

O lord - I've given up hoping anyone will do any cleaning in my house.

What about the walls? - I thought it might be nice to stick loads of holiday post cards on the walls for the perusal of visitors. Might give that a go - the walls are all tiled, so you can easily stick things on and change them around frequently. At the mo we just have a calendar free from the local chemists with water colours of wild flowers. Soooo boring. Next year I'm gong to look out for some nicer ones.

In the bathroom we have a Dilbert calendar (it's not very good this year, though, unfortunately) and one for learning Italian.

Sacrelidge!

A proper visit to the toilet is not a proper visit to the toilet unless one leave's with ones bum looking like the flag of Japan.


'Womans Own'
'Pick Me Up'
'You'
'A free leaflet about collectors items from Star Wars'
'An old Ikea catalogue'

Today, let's see...

Woodwork and tools catalogue
Book of trivia questions
'Rattle Bag' poetry anthology
Catalogue of unusual fruit and vegetable seeds
And a 'miscellany' slumgullion-of-facts book about Cologne.

Surprised no one has mentioned the profanisaurus yet..... Always makes me chuckle.

That aside usually I like to read The eye, and G2 type pullouts from the paper....

Some people really don't eat enough roughage

You cracked that one about four years too late, Effers - post 14.

But before you ask - no, I haven't been in there all this time...

Gay dwarf-porn wives weekly, DIY physisist monthly and salt! - The complete edition.

4 years late with a wise crack - how embarassing is that?

Well.... better than coming out with it early.... perhaps....

This thread is alive again?

I'm living somewhere else now, with my very own bathroom just for me.

And these lovely magazine racks made from coathangers...

Currently, I have:

An IKEA catalogue plus the kitchen one - working on ideas for Yarreau's kitchen
another one of those horsey magazines
first aid manual (might as well put the time in there to good use)
several outdoor sports catalogues - mostly hiking kit I've no use for, but also some camping gear
military surplus catalogues, very useful stuff for swordfighting
the current catalogue for my favourite bookseller
a gaming/LARP supply catalogue, just for laughs (those foam "fireballs" are hilarious!)
juggling/theatrical supply/toy company catalogue

Probably a few other things that escape me at the moment

Private Eye is my loo literature. Takes me two weeks to get through it just enough time for the next issue.

I had no idea loo lit. was such biggy!

Bathrooms I've used have mostly been minus s except for a family I used to babysit for who had a great selection on their window sill.

Oh yes, it's a fine art finding the loo literature for the job(bie).

I currently have the following books in the loo:

Nietzsche - Thus Spake Zarathustra
Tolstoy - War and Peace
Kafka - the complete set

And for some easy reading:
Pynchon - Against the Day

Oh, and a Garfield comic, too.

I've just discovered this revivified thread.

I'm not a toilet reader - I eat a lot of vegetables. So I'm wondering...if this isn't too prurient a question...

Do you lot read - er - while you're waiting for something to happen, or do you carry on sitting and reading - er - after it's happened?

Not sure I'd enjoy either.

Ah, you would be on the same side as Henry Miller, apparently:
