The Hamilton building jacks are cleaned very often but are still fairly disgusting a lot of the time. I wouldnt be blaming the cleaners. i would blame the scumbags who dont have the decency to think about the next person using the toilet. The toilet is a big target there is no reason for missing

De facto, they kind of are public toilets. I have seen many homeless men coming in and out of them.

Lloyd builing toilets and SNIAMs bogs are usually very very clean.

SNIAM ones are incredible. That is all.

This is the most moronic thread I've seen posted on this forum. I feel stupider just for posting it. You make the "reform users" look like intellectual heavyweights.

Say that to my face, tough guy!

the smell (and state) of the girls' toilets in the Lecky/Ussher is beyond a joke. at any given moment there are at least two out of action, and probably more with broken locks. and the flush is incredibly difficult for weak-handed saps like me. and basically by late afternoon everything smells like some kind of fart-swamp and there's always a queue and it's hard to slip by people in that narrow bit by the hand dryer and it makes me want to cry and this is why i don't go to the library any more

The toilets in UCD are so fresh and so clean :pac:

Dude, I think that's the library. Now glue those pages back and pull your pants up.

Use the secret toilets beside the Ed Burke instead.

Nearly. But, like so many UCD students, you're just two strokes shy of achieving the level of the typical Trinity student.

sssh... the more you tell, the more likely it is you'll have to queue for one!

To the OP opposite the entrance to the burke (behind the computer labs) there are toilets that are always "closed for cleaning"... good spot if you find yourself caught out in arts and cant make it so sniam

Other good ones are the red brick building and if you want an interesting read the toilets in ISS at least used to be good.... learned so much about the legendary Gambino from those walls!

Ha, it seems everyone wants to keep the SNIAM a secret in general.. first the computer room, now the toilets..

SNIAM, eh? Hurray for secret knowledge. Think I'll tell all my little first year buddies.

shhh dont tell them that!! Theyll all want to use them now!!

But I agree, the Ussher/Lecky toilets are mankey...they need to get some kind of air con going on, the smell is disgusting...and thats just the girls toilets!

The ones in the berkley are quite nice, especially as the public have access to them...pity they close at six though

My theory on the Ussher Lecky toilets has was that the pipe designed to spray water where you piss actually just sprayed water into the trough, so any piss on the wall where you piss just evaporated and stank the place up. The smell is a little better this year, I think they've fixed it so that the water goes where it's meant to go. I definately remember it being worse last year.

The ed burke toilets people are talking about; they're not the ones beside the water fountain? Those one's are hardly a secret?

Yep, that's them. No other, more secret, less used toilets down there. Certainly don't go exploring for them. *casual whistle-stroll away*

How many turlets and urinals are there on the campus?

I mean, loike, wat do all these working class cleaners do with their day loike, don't they see that I go to Trinity and that I always had a maid to clean my toilet after me loik? Its a downright disgrace, thats what is. Loike.

Clean, one would hope. Class barriers and/or reverse snobbery shouldn't keep one from complaining that someone is doing an inadequate job. Whether the OP's complaint ("Toilets smell of wee! Also, the sky is blue!") has actual validity is completely separate from this weird anti-Trinity "look-at-me-I'm-so-cool-I-hate-Trinity-cause-it's-full-of-rich-kids-wah!" attitude you pop out from time to time which, as per usual, really has no place here.

tl;dr: Take the chip off your shoulder and grow the **** up.

Haha. We all know what people go to the basement sniam for .

On a lighter note the hamilton toilets are clearly the best. If only for the amount of boards.ie related graffiti on it's walls.

Yeah, I remember having to constrain myself from giggling in there once when I seen 'Free Cantab' scrawled on a wall.

Its not a chip on my shoulder, its just irritating to hear students complain about these things. Toilets are smelly, Trinity has a lot of cleaners but the impetus is on the user to not make a ****ing mess after themselves.
