    Hey,

    I'm thinking about using the toilets in UCD next week.

    How best does one go about doing so?

    So you've never used any toilets in UCD before?

    What kind of advice are you looking for; best sitting positions? To squeeze, or let gravity do its job? Wiping techniques? Reading material while on the job?

    Yeh all of the above if you can...

    I just can't seem to get my head around it.

    I'm all good for the wiping techniques though, I have that down to a T!

    Sounds like its more potty training you need than anything else.

    Parenting forum would be able to help.

    :p

    Nah...just making the point that alot of people seem to get away with posting irrelevant comments (e.g. 'how do I get on a bus at the bus stop...does the 17 stop there?")

    the threory is :The rating of a toilet is directly in preportion to the floor that it's on,this counts doubly for the arts block.


    so,yeah if you still have the ability,climb the stairs to the toilets,if you need to go so bad you can't climb stairs.You can't have standards

    I'm beginning to see the problem. You need to get the toilet around your head, not vice versa. Before you can do that, however, you need to ingest a quantity of beer sufficient to dull your senses to the smell.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    You could have made that point in a thread......not start a new one.

    And the 17 thing could be confusing to someone not familiar with it, especially considering it's an awful awful service that never abides by the timetable.....

    Just make sure all fecal matter ends up in the toilet. I always get worried when it ends up somewhere else. I think the most disturbing place I saw it end up was the roof. I have to question how and why is it up there.

    Higher the better - seriously.

    If memory serves there is one around the corner from the stairs, on the second floor of J-block. That is probably the nicest (even if the urinals make you feel like they want to bite you).

    The higher ones are good, but you miss out on the high-class graffiti which seems to only appear downstairs.

    The lake outside the library is good. Just squat with your arse facing the water around 1pm when nooneeveryone is around.

    Make sure to lower your underwear otherwise you may find sitting down a discomfort ;)

    True why have 2 buses called the 17 going to 2 different places!

    On topic...it depends what you are looking for in a toilet. If cleanliness counts, the higher the better. But if you need to read gems like "Why have shampoo when you can have real poo?" then lower the better. Or the one near P if you're looking for "other" activities...allegedly.

    go down to the toilets at P and Q in the arts block around 5pm and leave your trousers around your ankles while you wander around. Let me know how that goes.

    The thing about handicapped toilets, which few people seem to get, is: they are provided for the handicapped, but they are not reserved for the handicapped. You're not breaking any rules if you use them: just be quick, and try to leave them as you find them ... :cool:

    Yeah, I've never seen a problem in using them. If there was a queue of disabled people outside after I was finished I'd feel bad, but there's no rule against using them.

    You don't have to put up with the noise of some sweaty man grunting, squeezing out a morning-after Guinness poo. And they are always cleaner.

    Disabled toilets ftw

    'Does the 17 stop there?' is the most relevant and insoluble question you can pose concerning UCD.

    Followed closely by: 'How do you get into the tunnels?', 'What exactly will be built in this Gateway malarkey?' 'What's so good about Tripod?' 'Can anybody truly win the Ag-soc milk race?' and 'Is Pat Paterson the biggest UCD ledge ever?'

    God damn- someone beat me to mentioning Paterson!

    Almost all busses go two ways... Just UCD's bus stop roundabout system makes the busses going towards rialto do a loop the loop which makes it seem they are going the same direction as the ones going to blackrock when its not the case.

    When the gates are closed its even more confusing, because they both come from the same direction.
