They do say nitrogen is a good fertilizer but does Mrs. Scroggins nextdoor really have to see you relieving yourself on your Bizzy Lizzies, Jared?

Joking aside, weeing on your tomatoes & vegetable patch is supposed to facilitate rapid growth...
Mind you, doing so at the dinner table is still considered uncouth by some.

ever since you suggested that I pee on my compost to break it down, the toilet bowl has become largely redundant...

What about poor Mrs. Scroggins next door though? She's an elderly widower and doesn't want to see a grown man flashing himself.

Ah come on, water is being saved here James! Water is of higher importance than Mrs. Scroggins potentially having a fatal heart attack from a scary visual

And who said you could come in here...
Jared, did you leave the door open whilst wandering off to the compost heap again? You must stop doing that. Not only do you let in annoying flies but it seems the odd human waif enters unabashed too. Especially those Velvet ones.
I thought we'd learnt our lesson with Ben?
Luckily, I usurp their camp often and attempt to stop them leaving. I take my eye off them for one moment and whoosh...

Yes, but we know the true value of well placed non-sequiturs and are not afraid to use them.

^^I think either will do quite nicely, Dean...
Jim, I think I'm going to start charging extra for use of the additional 'en-suite' facilities...
...although with a bladder like mine, coupled with the average age of the clientele here...('Youth' Hostel, my  )...I think there might be quite a queue by the rockery at 3am... 
James, I can't help feeling you are setting a bad example, with your frequent excursions to the VR... you're giving the poor deluded souls the impression that a return visit would be welcome...

They know not to tread foot in here. It's just sometimes mistakes happen and they go through the wrong door.
I know that sounds difficult, seeing as the Velvet Room door is bright pink but when they're tired at 4 a.m. in the morning, listening to their heavy metal prog music, they can sometimes walk through the grey door.
We should hire some guards. Trouble is though, I wouldn't be allowed in and neither would Jim, after obtaining that ASBO.

Steve! Good to see you back in the GR 
I thought you'd left your most famous of offspring to fend for itself; damned fine to have you back (your commode's a little dusty though, and Jared may well have planted a cactus in it by now).
So, back to watch the GR hit the magic 500 pages then...?

^ though it does add excessive nitrates which could promote weed growth - patches of stinging-nettles often indicate where old middens use to be.

Thanks Guys! though standards in the GR seemed to have reached an all time low - time we had a clean-up.
....the cactus-in-the-compost gag was very good....  
btw that photo is very out of date now - all that old gear has gone and due to stopping smoking last year (no more hanging around outside various buildings huddled up) i am a bit plumper...

yes...we had been thinking of deleting all of James' posts, which would have raised the tone considerably..
but then, instead of reaching Page 500, we'd be back down to 274.....
