Would you want to be the next user of the towel? I've never used one. So many questions. I stayed in a hotel in BC in the summer. It had one of those fancy bog seats. Wee jet would clean your hole. Then a warm blast of air to dry it. I spent a longer on the throne than I needed to that weekend. Truly glorious.

TheAuthority Posted January 11 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11 We have one and they’re amazing. Save a ton on TP and it’s much healthier and cleaner for your bum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted January 11 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11 Had one in our hotel in Thailand and it was a big factor in returning to the same hotel again, and I'd love to get one at home. I'd like to see (well, not literally) how the stand up washers get the settings right though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Seems to be lack of detail on the use of the bidet here, so soak the arse, assume the dry and polish is done via toilet tissue, sat down, obviously, and then that it, all done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Genie Posted January 11 Popular Post Share Posted January 11 It’s my wedding anniversary today. As 15th anniversary is Crystal I got a crystal with 15th anniversary stuff on it, plus card with 15th anniversary on it. The only problem is it’s our 16th anniversary, I thought it was still 2023. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh the wedding anniversary is almost a non-event here. Being so close to Christmas we don’t tend to do anything special and agree not to buy presents (although I broke that rule, badly, this time). Usually we just have a meal out as a family or a take away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only this year I looked up what the symbol for 15 was and decided to get something. Shes fine about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stevo985 Posted January 11 Author VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 11 14 hours ago, Chindie said: Guy Martin's Japan special had him and his crew mess with the hi tech loo in one of their hotel rooms, where they turned the bidet spray up to maximum and fired it without anyone sitting on the seat. Worryingly the spray hit the ceiling, with a decent amount of pressure for something that's supposed to be aimed at your arsehole. That sounds awful Out of interest, what was the exact make and model? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Renewing the passport so I just visited a photo me booth for the first time in a long time. The fact that it gives me a code to use on my online application that the dotgov site had the photo in question within seconds of it being taken in a post office in Mid Wales is both amazing and terrifying at the same time to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, similar experience here when I renewed my passport. Then, more recently, I had to renew my driving licence, and get a photo ID one for the first time. Filled in the application online, and it just said 'Shall we use the photo from your passport?' Yeah, go on then. Joined-up systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even need to go to a booth anymore. I've got to renew mine this week and the guidance online says you can take the photo with your own tablet and upload it direct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong background, wrong size, wrong resolution, you name it. I tried every which way before I gave up and used a photobooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
