    was the most common style urinal in a pub in IrelandIs it the independant ones, or the big long tray or what?
    It's been quite some time since i've been back in Ireland, and as a plumber, I'd be interested to know!
    thanks

    Wow... What an odd question.

    Many of the older bars would still have the ceramic wall type urinals.

    Clubs tend to favour the metal tray or wall.

    Bars are more often than not singular urinals, although a big bar will usualy have the tray/wall.

    Pubs will usually have troughs and public buildings have seperate urinals.

    IMHO pub toilets have taken a turn of the worse in recent years. Go into any city centre pubtoilet and you'll more likely than not be met by a big brown thing staring you in the face, making your lavetorial experience awkward and unpleasant. Some people would say this is due to flush power not being able to cope with the modern irish diet, but I blame lazy patrons who can be bothered to pull a handle after themselves.

    Yes and it all goes down a big drain and into the Liffey.

    That comment was either horribly racist or utterly disgusting. I can't seem to work out which. :eek:

    No no you have it all wrong. Straight into the perfume dispensaries in the ladies toilets.

    Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
    Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
    Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
    Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
    Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
    Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad?"
    Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
    Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
    Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.


    And now you know what the hell they were talking about!!!!

    A thinly veiled atempt to portray wit as racism. Big brown thing indeed

    As a guy I find it impossible to understand how woman put up with huge queues in toilets and I much prefer our system, I dont see the problem at all!!!

    On a side note you've never seen or heard of the walls before now maybe I know way too many skanky girls but there all aware of the contents of the guys toilets!

    Yep... and all the DNA in the urine mingles and a little piss baby crawls out at the other end... sometimes nature is so beautiful.

    I was in The Gables on Torquay R.d last week and was having a whizz in company, when this big fat fcuker came in, dropped anchor about 3 feet from the urinal, unloaded the tackle and proceeded to whack piss off the pewter at an enormous pressure!!!! The fcukin spray covered about 4 stations and was like fcukin Victoria Falls.

    the guy next took umbrage and dropped the shoulder on him and both fell to the tiles with piss spraying everywhere.

    I immediately left but saw some bouncers going in,but sadly don't know the conclusion of events.

    All parties were well bottled ,including myself, but it was a mind blowing experience.
