My favorite architect is Mike Brady. A bathroom with no toilet? BRILLIANT!

Very economy minded our Mr Brady - notice how his designs look exactly the same except larger or smaller depending on the circumstance?

That's what some would call genius minimalist-design.

Hmmm... i wonder, i wonder... here, separate bathroom and toilet in a flat mean the flat is more comfortable, and, therefore, more expensive, so i just have to ask a stupid question again: what is this all about?..

Curves cost money. How much do you want to spend?

'Great ideas rarely happen in groups'

I used this quote just yesterday. Any fans of William van Alen on board?

Rics always struck me as a delicious marriage of form and function -as opposed to the more spartan ethic of form follows function.

Mr. Birrento, for one, I agree with you 100%. IMHO I will offer the “positive criticism” that the trapeze doesn’t fit in with the overall Ric aesthetics. As I said, just my opinion.
Nice collection, btw.

You can't turn a negative into a positive just by calling it one!

Unless you live in a Big White House.

Welcome Manuel. Do you really use a different kind of pick for each guitar? Image

LoL.

Yes, they're all the same thickness (medium heavy) although some are different colours.

I guess if I have a pick on them and a few in the case I'll never be short of a pick I like when the need arises.

I was jibing at Mark. Manuel.

Now, about those picks: It was their precise, ahem, alignment, that gave me the inspiration for my "left-brained" comment...

(Time now for a comment on--glass houses!)

Sheena,

Here in the US in general the toilet is in the same space as the shower, tub and sink. Sometimes in higher end homes the toilet is in a small separate room (which I call a "water closet"), but still in the same space as the other stuff.

The joke is that in 1960's/1970's TVLand America the idea that humans actually have waste byproducts and use a bathroom to rid their bodies of them was not something a TV show should discuss. Edcited to add: "Or even imply."

Because, after all, if The Brady Bunch actually showed a toilet in the kids' bathroom then kids all over America would want one for themselves!
Listen to that sustain!
