Did anyone else share bath water? My mam would have a bath, leave the water in and then my brother would get in. I refused because it was manky Sometimes you'd be asked if you wanted to jump in after your mam, brother and sister. 4th hand bath water ...

Ah the 80's...

Damn recession kids don't now how good they have it these days. They'd be ringing Childline if their mam asked them that

Um....three minutes? Can he hold his breath for that long? Can I have his number?

Hmmm, I tried it and lasted a minute.

Mind you, there were two people having a conversation outside my . I tried to hold it in for longer and started gasping and wheezing.

They stopped talking...

Warm bath and a bottle of good wine.. Bliss.:cool:

You come out needing a shower is the only problem with them.

A quick one, maybe, just to get the bubble bath off. I know people who say "bathing is soaking in your own dirt", but they clearly don't understand how soap solves that problem. I think I'll have one this week.

The only worrying thing about them though was that urban myth you always believed as a young lad that cracking a sneaky one off in the bath could get your Ma or sisters up the duff if they ran a bath after you.

:eek:

Only reason I decided to have it is because I had bought one of those 'bath bomb' things for a cousin of mine for Christmas but misplaced it and had to give her something else instead.

Still, it's good to see the vagina she got you is working out well. :pac:

Ah nah, baths are class in theory but I think they need a bit of a redesign to make them more comfortable to lie in.

At a wedding I was at earlier in the year one of the girls I was with went up to her room at half two or so to enjoy the giant bath.

I have done this many times. I love giant hotel baths. Sometimes I am so drunk at the time, the only way I remember I have had a bath is the soaked floor in the morning!

I haven't had a bath in years, I think the last time I had a bathte shower was broken. I much prefer the shower, in and out 5-10 minutes. I am a lazy fecker though so if having a bath was easier then I would probably do that, but you have to decide your having a bath, turn on the immersion or the oil and wait for the rest of your evening for their to be enough hot water and by the time there is your so pissed off that you don't even feel like relaxing any more. Plus there's the whole washing your hair dilemma, do you do it before you get in or after you get out, do you hang your head over the side of the bath and wreak your spine doing it or what?

I guess it's a good thing baths are relaxing, you need it after all that faffing about.

I don't really like baths, they get boring awful quick
It IS nice to try out giant hotel bath though

The 80's?? Are you kidding? This was from the 90's to recently!!!!!!! :mad:

I would always get given out to for wasting water because I'd insist on running myself a fresh bath!

29-12-2013 08:37PM

I would spend ten times longer in the bath if I could read while I was lying there. I wear glasses for reading and the steam fogs them up, it's one of the major disappointments in my life.

If you put shaving gel on them and then wipe it off they wont fog up

Works for bathroom mirrors too!!

I always read in the bath!

We recently did up the bathroom in my house. Due to my mother having reduced mobility, we took the bath out and fitted a walk in shower.
I haven't used the bath in years since we got the power shower installed but this thread is making me miss it. Nothing like a long relaxing soak in the tub, especially when I'm feeling tense.
The power shower is nice enough for getting me clean and all but I hate the cold blast of air you get from stepping out of it. BRRR!
I also miss going into Lush every so often and buying all the bath bombs.
Feck.. starting to regret getting rid of our bath now...

Wattle · 29-12-2013 08:47PM

Oh yes Wattle enjoys a long soak in a roasting hot bath. Book in one hand, spliff in the other. Really relaxing before bedtime.

I've often spent the entire evening in the bath. Between fapping and relaxing I'm in there for no less than 4 hours. I look like a dried grape when I get out but its just so good..

A dried grape covered in it's own jism. Yuck

They are only good when sharing with someone else.

Soapy tit FTW

It takes ages for me to settle into a bath.

I jump in the shower after

No panic!

I have one once a week after football during the winter...lovely to come home and hop in.
Water is always ready, pumped taps so fills in 2/3 mins, lash in a bit of menthol-ly type stuff and bobs your uncle.

I bring my phone and the laptop in and usually watch a film of some description or read my kindle.

My biggest problem is that I usually make it too hot and so spend 5 mins lowering my bits and I into the water with my ankles melting...after that it gets nice.

The secret to a good bath is to have a hand towel nearby for drying your hand so you can type/read without breaking things.

biko · 29-12-2013 09:22PM

I like baths for about 5 minutes, then I get bored.
Shower are faster, more environmentally friendly, and just nicer imo.

Bath looks really nice though. I wish I could enjoy them more.

Sir Arthur Daley · 29-12-2013 09:25PM

The baths will be a thing of the past when the water meters come in.

Yeah, that's definitely not the most majestic part of it

It's impossible to tell whether it's too hot or too cold before the 'bits' have being dipped in like an expensive teabag. People say you should dip your elbow in first but what the fcuk do elbows know.. I don't think I've ever thought to myself that my elbow feels too hot

lillycool · 29-12-2013 09:44PM

Baths are so relaxing, but depends what you put in it though for full effect, even plain old radox is great for relaxing muscles and unwinding.

Well you probably would if you dipped it into a monkey bath.

Its called a monkey bath because its so hot, that when you get in you sound like a monkey. 'ooo eeeeeh ah ah ah'

That is the tip of the century, if not the millenium. Thank you!

@Whoopsy

Whats the attraction of a man 'holding his breath' under water?

Pumpkinseeds · 29-12-2013 10:32PM

Meh, I've never really liked baths, and I'm allergic to all the bath bombs and perfumed bath stuff. We had a new bathroom put in a few years back and neither of us has taken a bath in it. Should have just put in a shower cubicle really.

Nahh, they're wasted on kids!

Tell me about it. I have to bath my daughter every night and my son has one every other night and it's as though it's as though it's just an indifference to them. I barely get a fúcking shower most days and these two terrors act as though it's no big deal!!!

I love baths, but I am too féckin small to stay up to my neck in it. I either sink under or I cannot fill the bath enough to cover my lady lumps. There's just no winning. I hate being vertically challenged.

Lando Griffin · 29-12-2013 10:36PM

Quick health and safety advise.
Always secure a bath mat or other non slip device to the bottom before entry; too many people have ended up in A&E with bath related injuries mainly before showers were installed.

You can get nice shower stuff in Lush though. We don't have one near us so I sometimes order shower stuff from them for my mum.
