But you've hit the nail on the head, Pastures.

I'd probably still use some loo paper to ensure it was ahem 'safe' to use a towel!



From an ecological point of view, I wonder how the cost of the extra water used to wash yourself down, plus the extra towel washing needed and/or the electricity for the drying all compares with the cost of just using loo paper, bearing in mind there is also extra water going down the sewers and needing processing at the sewage works.


I must admit, I have found the moist toilet tissue wipes to be quite useful on occasions, (providing they aren't put down the loo, of course).
They are also useful for a quick rub down/freshen up of other areas, too!

Who would have guessed that you could cook a steak with a panini press? You learn something new on the NPT every day. Well done Joe.

I suppose it's a bit like those George Forman things that you can cook pretty much anything on.

I remember seeing a piece on a TV programme years ago (Midlands Today I think) about a bloke who cooked steak on the manifold of his car. IIRC it was a Mk 3 Cortina, so that's how long ago it was.
Wrap the steak in foil, wire it to the exhaust manifold. 10 minutes at 60 mph (or whatever)
It actually looked OK when it was cooked.

Maybe there's a killing to be made, designing and selling folding 4rse checker mirrors for English travellers abroad - I'd like to see that presented and demonstrated on Dragons' Den

I'd love to have someone on a TV cookery show give cooking instructions as :

"And now cook for 10 minutes at 60mph"!!!



I wonder if different engines give different flavours? :rotfl:

Where would I put it on our hybrid?

I recall using long-distance coaches where I swear they cooked the passengers hot meals on the engine.

I remember that! Though I thought it was salmon, not steak, maybe you can cook all sorts. I know you can cook an egg on your bonnet in Death Valley.

Reminds me a bit of ye olde prepper thread, where the advice was to lick car windows in the morning to quench your thirst.

There's a joke in there... although it's not PC for me to point it out

When I was a fireman (stoker, not putter-outer) at a heritage railway, bacon and egg breakfast was always done on the shovel

It was vitally important to ensure that there was enough for the driver as well, otherwise with a quick pull of a lever or turn of a handle he could send the blackened remains of your breakfast straight up the chimney :rotfl:
