Time for a shower
Comments

three times a day;
1. After the commute to work.
2. After the gym at lunch time.
3. After the commute home.
Number 3 is by far the most enjoyable, it's the only power shower 8)JOGLE Cube Aree GTC Pro -DONE

By having a shower before bed.
Really? So, you lie in bed for 8 hours (sorry, forgot you're a student so 12+) sweating, then put your clothes straight on to go to college all day. Does anyone sit next to you?
Do you lie with someone, having been up and about all day, presumably doing more odour creating activites than sleeping? Having not showered for over 12hrs?
Cuts both ways.
I can't sleep if I haven't had a shower beforehand, and it keeps the sheets cleaner. Nothing worse than sleeping in your own filth.
Also, apparantly, the process of your body's inner core cooling makes you sleepy - so a hot shower before bed helps you get to sleep quicker.
12 hours? Never realise I slept 12 hours due to being a student.0 -

I bet you're one of those ponces who insist on changing underwear everyday.

They gave up the struggle, cleaned up and became metrosexuals...Do not write below this line. Office use only.0 -

That's because you are totally stoned on skunk.
What's skunk, is it like weed?
I hate that stuff.
My body dislikes 12 hours sleep, it also dislikes 7 hours sleep, it likes between 8 and a half and 9 hours sleep.0 -

No, it's a black and white rodent which smells like it doesn't shower!0 -

Steady on ! I shower in the morning and then maybe if I'm going out in the evening or if I've been doing something physical like a bike ride. I wouldn't routinely shower at night and I wouldn't say I'm sleeping in my own filth either.
Are people these days a little too hysterical about these things - I mean 60 years ago people made do with a quick wash and then a visit to the public baths once a week. Now it's routine to shower twice a day and smother yourself in antiperspirant and deoderant.
....And a few hundred years earlier it was perfectly acceptable to bath once a year and people had to walk around with small bags of dried flowers to ease the stench. It's called progress and increased awareness of personal hygiene!
You can see the trend though - once a year, then once a week, now twice a day - another 50 years maybe we'll all be nipping into the shower on the hour every hour or having a complete body scrub with some anti bacterial gel and people will call that progress.
It's not really about hygiene - hygiene relates to health - it's about changing attitudes to what level of smelliness is acceptable.
it's a hard life if you don't weaken.0 -
I like to wrap my naked body in barbed wire and rub myself with some old hessian sacking in the pouring rain, if its frosty, even better. I do this 3 times a week, cleans mind, body and soul.
Fnark Fnark. I like choclits.0 -

Or maybe not, in 50 years from now water and the energy to heat the water could be such a limted resource that we go back to carrying flowers around again! Well, I won't, I'll be in an old folks home smelling of wee0 -
I shower when I get up, sometimes in the morning, sometimes the afternoon, depends on what shifts I'm doing.
A few years back I used to work with a bloke that swore by the mantra "I take a bath once a fortnight, whether I need one or not" :shock:
By the way, he didn't stink, he was a lazy bugger0
