But surely in order to avoid disenfranchising voters who do not have easy access to the internet (such as Roma, the homeless who somehow afford a Labour subscription), this would require some sort of nationalised broadband that is free at the point of use...

Ah.

To be fair I wasn't thinking it through (something I always accuse tory supporters of not doing), I was having a tantrum because I'm annoyed about this residents' committee thing.

Oh come on, you can't post on page 28 without linking to the London In Two Weeks Time video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANoJmwqdisM

Thankfully I am now working a few miles out from London bridge, and I am no longer concerned about hacking up phlegm as I slowly suffocate to death from infected lungs Narwhal tusk wielding vigilantes.

In general though yeah, I'd stay right away from anything involving housing associations. It's one of the few things I can think of that are worse than local politics.

It's still got a bunch of people in the replies going "but that means four fifths of the workforce agreed with the article, proving that most people agree with me". That'll teach me to read the replies, I should have expected (also: why do people keep replying to things with the exact same comment a bunch of other people made? Do they suppose it's somehow necessary to hear "that means 80% didn't sign the letter" from them specifically?)

Probably TMI but save the bog roll for No. 2 and buy some cheap flannels or similar (29p each in Home Bargains) to wash and dry yourself after No. 1 and make sure you wash them thoroughly (the flannels).

I SO miss my shattaf (bum gun). Haven't been able to rig one up in my new flat yet due to the cramped nature of the pipework.

Someone accused me of panic buying this morning because I was getting spaghetti and toilet paper. No mate I just want to eat some pasta and then clean my dirty anus, leave me alone.

I realise things are somewhat bleak on the politics front atm, but a local (Tory) parish councillor now apparently hates me so much his response to my recent letter was to shout “I’ve had enough of bloody [Sanford]!” and bang his fist on the table, inviting a reprimand from the clerk. It’s the little things.

I looked into those but the small fitting you do need doesn't fit in my space (it is a VERY cramped space for pipework). Really I need a new bathroom, but pennies do not allow right now.

A shattaf is a hose thing that hangs beside the toilet OR built in to the back of a toilet. Not a separate bidet. They're very common in the Middle East and Indonesia.
And it doesn't half cut down on bog roll use!

Efficient, but gentle low pressure
Low pressure offers the advantage of cleaning that is both efficient and extremely gentle at the same time. The standard nozzle with a flat spray enables you to watch the dirt wash away. The cone-spray nozzle is ideal for more sensitive cleaning like dog paws.
That's not quite as :staredog: as I expected, but I'd still be wary of using power tools on my rear end hole without a trained professional on standby.

Most bathrooms aren't big enough for a dedicated bidet, but that doesn't mean that we have to accept the Western degeneracy of smear anus with dry paper and call it clean.

Presumes that your shower will stretch to the toilet unless you plan on spraying it down the shower/bath waste pipe which would not be good.

(I tried to rig up an extra shower head to stretch to the toilet in this new flat - which is the arrangement I managed to fix up in the old flat - but it broke the shower so now I have a shower that is one of those rubber push on the bath taps things until I can afford to get it fixed properly).

There are two good side-effects that I'm seeing come out of the current pandemic situation: more awareness of how good bidets are(god I wish I had the space in my bathroom and the money to get one installed) and the games/tech industries realising that actually, people can work from home without the entire company falling into ruin.
