Urinal recommendations

Hi DS

Indeed, the wife has one upstairs. I wash my hair in it when I cant be bothered to take a shower.

Oh, I see I'm preaching to the converted so to speak!

Let us know how you get on. The last time I had a wet room was staying at a hotel in Linköpping, which didn't have a stall. I'm sure there was a reason for that, so beware, consider all the angles.

Does he mind being called this?

He? Are you under the impression I'm some kind of batty boy?

Hello Gricer, I hope you are well, haven't seen you for a while.

You know more than anyone about trains, n'est-ce pas? I'd appreciate some advice.

One evening a couple of weeks ago, I had settled into my seat, Sudoku sitting on my lap, my pen in hand, as we pulled out of Marylebone Station. Suddenly all the carriage lights went out, and stayed out for the entire journey.

Then yesterday (Friday), bugger me but it happened again, just as we were slipping into the tunnel. I've never experienced this before, now it's happened twice in two weeks.

So my question is, what can one do to alert the driver in such circumstances? Do you think that he has accidentally flicked the wrong switch, or is something more sinister afoot?

Hi DS,

Well, as much as I never pass up the opportunity to talk with gusto about "pantographs" and "third rails", the technical reasons for the interruptions in power supply that you experienced are manifest and I wouldn't be able to do the subject justice without incurring the wrath of all the normals who frequent these pages.

In the meantime, here's a pic I took on a recent bashing expedition. Note: These people are definitely not normals.



By the way, was it a juicebox or a kettle? And why didn't you ask the gripper?

That picture looks like a lot of fun. Where was it taken?

Back to the issue in hand, I'd get in touch with my gripper but I only get one every six months. In answer to your other question, they only use DMUs out of Marylebone.

The problem this time was probably a suspect linkage because it didn't affect all units, only the rear one, whereas previously everyone on the train had to grope in the dark. That might have been due to a new driver where, as part of the Chiltern Railways 'initiation ritual', his cohorts mislabel the cab controls for him!

it's where the mountains stick up off the page

That's pretty good. Could that somehow be built into the urinal? Then you could piss all over Leeds, say.
