at last they have replaced those dreadful toilet tissue dispenser thingies in the girls toilets near the commerce and law section of the library!!!

is it just me thats delighted???

humbert

Na I'm delighted too....

panda100

Thank God....my fingers always get trapped in them and I can never get any loo roll out!! Did they give us new luxorious toilet paper as well instead of the usual tracing paper??

Scraggs

Wow it really is the little things in life that make me happy!

I'm headin that way right now to check it out!


EDIT: wow it makes such a difference!! No change in the tissue though

Mr.Nice Guy

Brilliant! It's about bloody time...I mean...carry on...

Riamfada

Can I have the old ones to sniff?

Ah no really Im happy for you.

Pythia

Wonderful. You can never get the paper out of those things.
Now they just need better hand driers.

humbert

Actually I think I know what ye are talking about, worst designed things ever. No change in the mens toilet of course!

Sangre

This is silly. Girls don't go to the toilet.

TheVan

They seem to be designed so that, while difficult to get the paper out from a normal position, to just stick your head in and get some for a runny nose is damn impossible! The ones in Arts are marginally better....I go down there to get paper for a sniffy nose!

Perhaps. But real gentlemen have a handkerchief in their pocket at all times.

And boys and girls, let me just say after the 10 years I've spent in UCD, I can honestly say the quality of loo paper is far better than it was back when I started!

Back in my day we had to walk 100 miles in the snow, barefoot and there was no toilet paper we had to make do with nettles which we had to pick by hand in the rain...:D

Red Alert

Flat ones with a black nozzle (Vortice) - air is burning hot yet does not dry your hands.

Silver ones (Unitherm/Thermair) - excellent! buy more of them!

i just took another visit there to marvel at the new additions. it really has changed the experience of visiting the ladies. all we have to do now is install seats, a tv and mobile phone chargers.

Gents on Level 2 near the HSSRC, three dryers only one of which works. Lyltec I think it is (white, built in nozzle.) Have them in CSI loo too, every efficient low noise, reliable.

And I think even for my level of nerdiness I've sunk to new lows. I'm discussing the merits of hand dryers??? FFS!

Very very very true!

Stepherunie

I hope they're not the ones with just normal rolls of toilet paper on them because they don't last kissing time on the weekends - those toilets were about the only ones left in the library that actually had toilet paper by sunday afternoon.

they've a superbly useful feature in that there is both a Ready and Run light on them just in case you don't feel it on!

Kissing time??

humbert

what do ye get up to in those toilets???

humbert

I think it might be worth it:)

This ghost posting is crazy!

Must be a cork expression - I do believe i meant no time for those of you who need a translation.

Humbert, I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you.....

One of the two on the ground floor in CSI is broken though. They can't be that reliable.*

*This topic is so strange and irrelevant that I had to post on it. Ah well, at least I was on topic.

Scraggs

Ok while on the topic of hand-dryers the best ones in all of ucd that i've encountered are in the ladies bathroom on the top floor...they're so powerful!
Actually I might go wash my handas right now for the craic

humbert

Actually the disabled toilets on the top floor are as good as it gets too. Dear god, the shame.

blondie83

I always found the best hand-dryers to be the silver ones in the toilets in the student centre - they were really powerful...also my mum says you're to all get back to work and stop talking about toilets!

Right who is going to own up to sitting on the loo and bringing in their laptop with them.

Typing is really loud so you have to cough when you type or flush , or type really quietly . But then the fan comes on. Why do you want to hide the fact that you have your laptop on in the toilet. There is nothing wrong with it! Hold hands with me and Ill lead us into the toilet where we can all post from the cublicles!

I've never done that, but i've always wondered if anyone has invented a strap that goes over your shoulders, so that you can use your laptop while walking...I really need to get out more. I do know several people who don't mind in the slightest answering their phone on the toilet. Frankly It's very disturbing.

Never done that, but I have sat in the library toilets playing a Game Boy while procrastinating about studying.

I've done that once, absent-mindedly. Realised after a few minutes what I was doing and said I'd call back

And I think toilet conditions are very important. Nothing more annoying than not getting the toilet paper out of those dispenser yokes. That's why I never use the lady's on the ground floor in csi.
It's indeed the little things that matter!!

Nah, never done it. But I was in the gents in library one time and could hear someone typing away. So the question sprung to mind. Must be hardcore nerd to feel the need to do that. It was prob Grimes, now that i read his post below.

For stunningly beautiful toilets and wonderful drying hit health science - they're hidden toilets everywhere.

humbert

wonderful drying you say? I think I might, 'tis a very nice building that I'm rarely in anyway:)

Stepherunie

I'm also rarely there but with my one day a week on campus, but man, do those toilets sings, they're hidden EVERYWHERE, it's the only place I know of that even has one for your convience in the photocopying room.
