Shower Gel

[struth]

Having been to boarding school I have a lifelong aversion from showers. Take off your clothes and stand in line in the draughty house gym. [I was 33rd out of 34 boys.] Boys went into the shower room in threes. Once finished we were required to bend over for inspection. This, apparently, was to ensure that you had washed your perineum properly. Not all masters were diligent in the execution of their duty in this regard. Junior house only mind.

>>> They wouldn't get away with it nowadays.

wouldnt have got away with it at my school either a lot of toughs at my primary

Yesh, it helps if you don't leave it for 6 months between each bath!

I like a bath to sit and have a nice soak in, when I have time (there are ceiling speakers fitted in our bathroom, so I can relax and listen to some choons), but will generally take a shower. Always use soap though, never gel, which is 100% natural and organic:

Soap doesn't have to be full of nasty chemicals

nothing like soaking in your own filth. or the wifes too if you get lucky..(is that the plughole dear)

Lol - or having a nice big gassy FAHRT, and watching all the bubbles rise to the top, then when they burst, releasing the FULL FLAVOUR of your arse stench!!

I much prefer a shower rather than sitting in all your body scum , when I did bath it allways left a rim of scum around the bath , Yuck

Much of that scum is the shit that's in the water to start with. It's a problem that afflicts quite a lot of the South East of England.
The same scum appears in cups of tea/coffee.
Your flaking skin contributes little to it.

Like when I lived in Bath, hardest water I have encountered. You’d not be able to see the inside of your kettle if not descaling every couple of months.

For the more adventurous among us, try sitting down to take a shower
- eliminates chore of picking up soap
- reduces splashing on walls etc so cleaning up is easier
- prevents sneaky glances from passing perverts
- reduces risk of slipping for the elderly (I.e. Me)
- ensures a sparkling perineum
- farts have more resonance

Yup, and particularly so in North Wales. Snapper has commented that his skin feels much softer and his complexion looks rosier/healthier after he's been here for a while

The water quality in North Wales really is great, even for drinking (buying mineral water is simply a waste of money). It's very pure, as there is so little pollution here and plenty of rocks and mountains!

- and if you fancy a dump (sliding out a slippy one), you're already in the right position!

After helping my grandad painting he would often clean me up using a good measure of turpentine on a rag. Any cuts were where cleaned with neat iodine, the brown stuff that stained the skin. The iodine was actually for the pigeons injuries , but I guess he figured it didnt do them any harm.

Shower gel doesnt seem so bad in comparison.
