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

Very few of them have any concept of measurements or mechanics of a job ... to think that some of them may be architects is frightening.

My kitchen is a prime example of the kind of job these architects do... they've obviously never had to live with the kinds of places they design!

Maybe, maybe not
*is delighted to finally have said a cyptic remark*

-or bathrooms! I wonder if architechts/designers that make bathroom ever uses one? - or correctly ever clean the bathroom!

Most bathrooms are filled with tiny little spots, totally impossible to clean, but big enough to collect all kinds of stuff...

I´ve had one, repeat one, bathroom that was somewhat possible to live with. But the I was as tight as a bandaid concerning the guys who build it! and made suggestions, nagged and pestered them frequently (and gave them coffee with homemade buns...)

At that time I lived in an old house where the plumming needed to be totally changed, and therefore the bathroom was completely rebuilt at the same time. This was in the mid eighties, long before jacuzzis and home spas. What I got was a bathroom whith floor and walls that could stand water; waterpipes, tub and other equipment placed in such a way you could clean under and behind them without using toothbrushes and other odd utensils. And the hatchings, in their worst splash and dash ages, could play around and leave the bathroom totally wet without driving me nuts - since it didn´t take me that very long to get it inhabitable again.

Hmm, I live in an apartment the maintainance staff handles everything from a clogged pipe to lack of hot water. I don't really clean it either. My folks do that. I read in the bathroom sometimes. Great lighting.

Yeah it helps to have folks clean the bathroom, I think queen's problem is that she's a folk who does the cleaning. I've almost given up cleaning mine altogether. I run in and out as quickly as possible, trying not to look to much and breath as little as possible when going to the toilet and I keep bathing to the civilised minimum!

As soon as I can afford it, I've got to buy and fit new hinges to my toilet seat. I'm not looking forward to it.

Let's talk more on Red and less on lavs.

Elwyn NO. I luvs lavs........

Right. Then we can discuss the idiots who install the TP holders in loo stalls so that they hit us in the leg or shoulder? Convenience is one thing, but I prefer not to have them in position to wipe me automatically as I sit down.

Back off, back off! These men should have their screwdrivers removed -- painfully.

Argh, so much for the attempt to hastily avoid the painful reality of my future duties

I have to admit that the thing that draws my eye to a real estate listing first are the words: Glamour Bath. *sigh*

Ah, the standards of living those days

What can I say? I dream big.

I'm certain of it
Who knows, maybe dreams do come true !

Since my unexpensive dreams came true already, I think I have a long wait for the expensive ones!

Never judge by past omens. Fortune is too sage to give heralds.

::sprinkles some sage on the heralds::

What really pisses me off are so called free nightmares. You get one of those given to you, and then find you have to pay, and pay and pay!!! Excuse my note of bitterness, I'm a moody so and so sometimes!

Nothing wrong with that.
