Men's toilets, Secretaries, that sort of thing.

Hmmm...that VPRO sundaymorning prog? Can't say I recall that episode :-).
I managed to drop my shaver in the toilet once.......luckily I hadn't used it recently  :-o.
My father dropped his mobile phone in the toilet a few weeks ago :-D. And it still works!

re toilets:

While I was on holiday in Corsica last summer I encounter those 'hole-in-the-ground'-toilets for the first time. God knows how you are supposed to use those properly when taking a dump. I never dared using em anyway. Weird French :-).

yup, "ochtend-tv" it was, with those three fat ladies eating cake as much as they could and so.
I loved Mevrouw Ten Kate, Snotvergeeme! :lol:

My dad always used to say that those French toilets are good practice if you want to take up skiing.


I remember using toilets in Uganda, where they were basically holes dug in the ground - when they filled up, they dug another one.
When you used said thunderbox, you could estimate how full the latrine was by how long it took your erm, waste, to go 'plop'. The longer amount of time the better!

Considering his surname is hardly a term of endearment, we really should be grateful for what Sir Thomas Crapper did for us!

@cyb:
Is he the inventor of the watercloset?
@speel:

Yes. Sir Thomas Crapper invented the flushing toilet. Another great British invention :-D

@Odin and Eyso
Do you get any English language stations / programmes in the Netherlands? I remember seeing BBC in a hotel in Amsterdam, but that was probably satellite

Aye, BBC1/2 available. I watch BBC quite a lot. More than the crappy Dutch commercial channels.

Not nearly as important as the Chinese invention of the toiletpaper, wich is multipurpose

I think it's more of a symbiotic relationship :-)

@speel: 1) No I haven't yet, any good? 2) Hmmmmm.....It should probably...but it doesn't.
And now it's children bedtime. Goodnight folks :-).
(sjees.....this looks like an IRC log :-)).

nighty night Odin

and that reminds me, I should really join you guys on IRC sometime (its just that I remember losing two jobs when I first discovered internet chat in the late nineties)

[that_punk_guy]

Odin, you're one post away from 2400! You should post one last time before bed :-)
