I always thought it was in there but so clipped as to be almost inaudible. But there.

So I found a live version to see if it was more clear. Not only is there no "of" but he has also changed "love" to "hope". I have no idea why but I'd like to know.

Also, it's pretty obvious from the video that there is no "of". So yes, he can't be trusted.

I step mostly out of the water, probably not all the way, to do the soaping up stage, which is I assume what you're talking about. At one point I was even turning the shower off for a minute and then turning it back on to step back into the stream, though can't remember if that was being conscious of wasting water or to help out a slow-draining tray.

I'm always confused by people who don't use body sponges (or similar) and apply shower gel by hand. So strange. Either you have to use four times as much shower gel to get anything close to the same lather or coverage, or if you use a similar amount then you end up having a shower which falls considerably short on feelings of luxury and cleanliness.

I'm talking specifically about the head. I generally stay in the water flow, but don't have it pouring down on my head unless I'm actually washing my hair.

I'm still confused by the shower gel craze and am very much a bar of soap kinda guy. Am I someone you shouldn't trust?

Posted: **Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:06 am**

A couple of points here.

1. Flannels, sponges, loofahs and body puffs are basically bacteria-growing machines and it's disgusting that you put them all over your body, even with detergent.

2. Re: bars of soap. I am a shower gel guy - always have been. I once played golf and was showering in the changing room afterwards. I'd forgotten shower gel so was very pleased to see that there was a luxurious bar of soap provided. This shower facility was one of the nicest I'd ever been in, and thick jets of hot water were coursing over me, head first, from the waterfall shower. It was heavenly. I used the bar of soap everywhere and noticed that it had a mild exfoliating effect as well, which was an unexpected but welcome bonus. Once I was fully lathered up I had a look to see the mechanics at play in such an effect, only to realise that this bar of Imperial Leather was absolutely embedded with wiry old man pubes.

So yeah, fuck soap.

Flannel goes in the wash after the shower. Anyway, how do you clean yourself properly without something to scrub the dirt off with? Just wiping your hands over your body isn't really a proper clean.

I agree on bars of soap. This is the 21st century. We've moved on. Aren't they generally made of tallow (animal product), Callum the vegan?

Soap gets slippy. That's why the 80s had soap on a rope before shower gel was invented.

There are many aspects of the 21st century I'm not yet sold on. Shower gel appears to be one of them, although I have been sufficiently convinced by this thread (mostly Jono, fuck the rest of you) to maybe give it a go. Look at me, getting modernised by a phpBB forum about a daytime game show from the 80s. What have I become?

It's really not difficult to get soap that isn't made of tallow. Saying isn't soap generally made of animal product is like saying isn't food generally made of animal product. I'm also not keen on all the single-use plastics in shower gel, and have a completely unfounded and unresearched suspicion that it is less economical than a bar of soap. But I'll give it a go and see what I make of it.

Fair enough. It was a bit lazy of me there.

I am 5th of 6 children and was usually last int the bath.
So the water was tepid and murky and the flannel was just a little funky. (probaby from the bollocks of my elder brothers)
Never used a flannel since i left home.
Yeah you get through the shower gel quicker but at least theres no stinking flannel

I use either shower gel or soap, and simply use my hands. No problem with getting a good lather, and judging by my team-mates (and people in adverts), I'm extremely stingy with shower gel. I'll get through an average bottle of the stuff in a year or so.

So Superman starts thinking to himself, "Man I gotta get myself some of that wonderpussy." and then he realizes that he can fly down, do a little fast pumping and be gone before she even sees him. Because he's Superman. He's faster than a speeding bullet, right?

So Superman, he swoops down, he fucks her so quick, she doesn't even see him. Wonderwoman sits up and says, "What the fuck was that?" and The Invisible Man says "I don't know but my ass is killing me."
