Do not boil your underwear in hotel kettles, warns expert
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-st...-a7909941.htmlExperts are warning people not to boil their underwear in hotel kettles in case it spreads potentially deadly toxins.
It's a revelation that’s bound to have you regretting every cup of tea you’ve ever had in a hotel room; the act of underwear-boiling is apparently a practice that exists.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

The rumour I heard was that guests sometimes get taken 'short' in the night and pee in the kettle as it is closer to them than the bathroom. Not sure I believe any of it though.Originally Posted by Neil McCauley

It's often surprised me that people's homes can show a side to them that you don't otherwise see. Well dressed and ostensibly clean people can live in utter squalor. Nothing to do with lack of funds; they are just uncivilised. That's why I hate staying in hotels. You never know what's gone on and it's not like every surface is cleaned totally between visits. Statistically It's almost certain that one or more individuals with low personal standards has abused the room at some stage. It's a lottery as to whether there is a legacy still waiting there for you.

I agree with all that.

Hotels - use with caution!
Having worked as a porter in two hotels as a young man I commend and share your distrust of their standards, Andy. Not just what the guests may have got up to, but the staff as well. I avoid hotels wherever possible, but if I have to use one I am careful to be courteous and considerate towards hotel staff.
Any complaints one may have are best made after you have left their care.
Especially if that complaint concerns the waiters or the quality of the food.
