Sadly, I don’t have a whiskey barrel (or hot tub) to turn upside-down. My guests are going to have to keep on making do with the tarp-over-the-picnic-table setup they’re accustomed to.
Loveliest comment, by magdalenaperks: My question is whether it still smells like whisky, because I’m not sure I could afford the Glenfiddich budget if I were continually tempted by the fragrance of Scotch.

“How can this be?” you ask. Simple: the cows on this farm have right legs that are shorter than their left legs. Here’s a scientific diagram:
(There is a slight chance that I have never seen a cow, or even seen a photo of one, and am relying on my people’s oral tradition.)

“There’s a website for people who love pink bathrooms!” more than one commenter has said. “No freaking way, ” I replied, as I blithely ripped out my pink bathtub. But no. I was wrong. Save the Pink Bathrooms exists and is (almost) making me see the appeal.
But this? I refuse to believe that there is anyone anywhere who, given a choice, would prefer to have one of these DEAFENINGLY LOUD toilets rather than a nice, discreet, non-threatening model.
And now I sit back and wait to be corrected.
… Oh, who am I kidding? I have the patience of a corgi. I must poke around the Internet myself and lo… here, on an obscure niche plumbing supply store, I find DEAFENINGLY LOUD toilets for sale. You, too, can live with all the wonder and glory of the high tank toilet! Why not dress up like Queen Victoria and really live the experience? Toodle loo!
(I can’t find the link, but it might be somewhere here.) UPDATE: Cathy found the listing here, which is worth looking at if only to ponder the idea of this being a “small toilet situated at top of stairs.”
Loveliest comment, by Jaycy: T&P needs some marketing advice. Their site is headed with I guess an eagle eye view of Lerwick, with the lovely caravan in the foreground and the housing estate to the rear…and is mirrored with a ruin! A roofless house!

On the outside, it’s ”a sandstone constructed lodge with a slate pitched roof.” Go down to the basement to check on the furnace, though, and…
Oh, my. Is this the standard heating apparatus for two-bedroom, one bathroom houses in Scotland?
According to the listing, the basement leads to “a subterranean structure which is believed to have been constructed as a military facility in the 1950’s as a military command centre and operated until approximately 1985,” which is all oddly vague. But come to think of it, I don’t know for sure when the family room was added to my house; I guess I understand how you can forget to ask the right questions when you’re getting the keys from the previous owner.
What could you do with this bunker, you ask? The real estate agent has some suggestions: “a mushroom farm or a large wine store and if the site had been in a more accessible location it would have made a superb night club.” I ask, why limit yourself to just one of those choices?
This room is crying out to be turned into a mushroom farm / large wine store / night club for people from far away. Something sort of like this:
Oontz oontz oontz oontz!

Loveliest comment, by Stuart: “Quite the kitchen you’ve built over your complex, Stavro. Do you expect me to keep this from MI6?”
“No, Mr. Bond. I expect you… to dine.”
“Ah lovely. Thank you.”
“Not at all! Scone?”
Included: stove, sink, and 150 BPM.
P.S. “The conveyance to the successful purchaser will be a nominee conveyance by the crofting landlord at the request of the crofting tenant in terms of the Crofters (Scotalnd) Act 1993.” Just thought you should crofting get that crofting straight before you buy the crofting house.

Loveliest comment, by Kellie: Yes, sir. I understand that you purchased the house but you did not SUCCESSFULLY purchase it. Let’s take a look…just second here….ah, yes, you gave us the money, we gave it to a bear who then ate it. It was not a succesful transaction, sir. We’re very sorry but it happens more often than people realize.
Included: washer, dryer, several corpses in the backyard. OH YES I’M ONE OF THOSE UPTIGHT AMERICANS WHO DOESN’T WANT CORPSES IN HER BACKYARD I KNOW YOU’RE ALL SO MUCH MORE ENLIGHTENED ABOUT CORPSES IN OTHER COUNTRIES AND WE’RE SO REPRESSED WHAT WITH THE “NO CORPSES PLEASE” THING GRAR RAR IN THE UK PEOPLE DON’T MIND CORPSES AT ALL THEY JUST STEP OVER THEM WHILE TEXTING ON THEIR PAY-AS-YOU-GO IPHONES AND THEY’RE ALL SO GROOVY AND THEIR BEER IS SO MUCH BETTER AND THEIR REFRIGERATORS ARE SO MUCH SMALLER AND SOMEHOW THAT’S A GOOD THING AND and and and maybe I’ve been spending a bit too much time in Internet discussions lately. Sorry. But I still don’t want corpses in my backyard.

Loveliest comment, by Beatdown: I agree, why would you want that in your garden? Its disturbing and disgusting. I think its an Audi, I cant tell with those gravestones in the way.
See? As this listing Ben found clearly shows, Americans are not the only gun nuts. Let us all unite in our love of handguns! Lots of handguns! Handguns out on the wall where anyone can get them!
