taking a dump

July 15th, 2006 by Abbas Halai

where all are you comfortable taking a dump? i realize this is a very personal question. a lot of people can go just about anywhere. other people require their own little private hole in their own home. it’s all about comfort levels. here is a picture of a public crapper in switzerland. i personally need my own washroom, and own lota. unless in dire straits, i won’t go anywhere else.

nice isn’t it. click here or the image above to find out what it looks like inside and THEN tell me whether you’d be able to take a dump in it or not.

of course you all remember my previous poll.

he’s from barcelona

The terrrible hotel that inspired Fawlty Towers, the funniest TV show ever made about bad hotels, has been remade as a four-star boutique hotel.

Under new ownership since February, the hotel’s luxury facelift has ushered in a new ground-floor swimming pool and al fresco dining area, a luxurious lounge and a conservatory. Ceilings have been raised and Italian chandeliers installed, while over 40 skip-loads of rubbish have been removed.

The character of Basil Fawlty was inspired by a former manager at the hotel; he gave John Cleese and the Monty Python team a frosty welcome when they booked in 1971. The ferocious host berated them for not holding their knives and forks correctly and threw one of their briefcases over a wall believing it could be a time bomb.
