well, a word of caution, i suppose. this is one of those posts what goes into the sometimes (but not always) murky realm of the gentleman's restroom facility. public toilets, look you see. for men. and indeed sometimes for me who like men. should you have no interest in such (and you would not be wrong to express no interest) you may wish to depart now.
so, on my extensive travels i get to go and use a fair few number of restrooms set aside for members of the gentry. interestingly, i suppose, in this "fluid" brave new world no, i have not encountered such set up as a free for all; for the use of anyone no matter what gender they have decided they are momentarily. weird, as the news sometimes make it sound as though all such facilities are now so.
most, but not all, restroom facilities of this nature (for the gentry) tend to have vending machines. in fact, as i recall it, the only restroom facilities not to have vending machines are the ones in McDonalds. now that i think, this is quite strange, as Spiros once told me (unsolicited) that several of his top ten short term but mutually beneficial friendships with other men have happened in bathrooms at McDonalds. at least four, if i recall his words right, but i was trying not to pay attention.
i had an unusual instance of being alone in such a facility, hence me being able to take a picture, in the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 mode. and video, below. errr, not that i was looking for a fellow gent to engage in a short term, mutually beneficial relationship with. such is best left, i think, to my chum Spiros.
for reason you may well see below (if you click on the video) (yes, we've got a video), i was quite drawn to this machine. also a bit perplexed by it, really. ostensibly it offers things what a gent might wish for when meeting a like minded gent there, specifically prophylactics (rubber johnnies) and them things that i can only describe as c0ck pills. the thing is, though, such a wide and versatile range within one vending machine. oh, undoubtedly they are all the same things in each packet, with just different branding and what have you on the packets.
a couple of you may, for whatever reason, wish to know the economics of these machines. costs to patrons, that is. well, from what i could observe (and i stand to be corrected) each item carries a price of £3 each, with payment in £1 coins only. i think, on the latter. anyway, the video.
drawing me in to this particular machine, then, was the sensational lighting display you can see in that video above. not sure if others have it on, to be honest. quite a marketing draw, but then i would have thought the items for sale pretty much sold themselves to any gents in, well, need.
to see if there was any actual, discernible difference between the different types of pills on offer, i went right ahead and asked the only chap i knew who would have had any experience, which is Spiros. he gave quite an answer, and of course most of it is frankly impossible to repeat here. but, relevant to the question, he said he wasn't at all sure, for he simply always did a good handful of all of them, decking a few cans to wash them down.
of little or no actual use, i appreciate, this has been. but, there you have it.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
