And, after all, women today have the means to do it in a much easier way.

Guess that's another sign of the endtimes : P

Ah ha, see, that's what I was getting at, the no en suite issue. I personally have christened sinks in Oxford. The name of the college has been withheld to protect the innocent. There is a knack to the sink perch, I must confess.

In my apocalypse, it would be de riguer for women to piss in sinks, because the toilets would just be far too dodgy. These bloody undergraduates are never up to any good and god knows I wouldn't want to share a bathroom with them. Sinks are a much safer option.

People prattering on about signs of the apocalypse.

Touche. i don't know how to do an accent e, i'm such a pleb.

Well, aside of the trend towards privatization of water sources, forests and even some types of crops, the 'public restroom' is also a vanishing resource in many cities. So unless you have some change for the automated cabin or are allowed into some establishment's premises, you have to hold it until getting home.
And enforcing a tool on some avenues and city zones, under the guise of traffic and pollution control, is also established or under study in many others.

If you're still pissing in porcelain, then it's a fairly urbane apocalypse.

Hipper-than-thou coffee shop name or what?

Ooooo. Sounds almost like a band in a WG novel.

But no, I think you're right. Coffee shop.

No, it's too terribly catchy and self consciously witty to be a title of anything in a WG novel. he wopuld have a go at it from an oblique and introduce an element which inherently undercut the conscious hipness of the phrase which makes it unhip.

Through it is a bit close to the kind of winking nod that CogDis was, but still, take Beautiful Girl, Gentleman Loser and the like, they don't have that post-ironic yield to them.

symmetry's apocalypse is going to be awesome chaps. so there you are the zombie hordes, quelle yawn, outside. and between classes one gets caught short, what. so there you are, squatting over the sink, i say, because one never knows what those blighters in the lower years might be getting up to in the stalls! if its anything like in my day... rather!

My thought was not that it would be something he'd portray in a favorable light. Rather, the name of the band of a friend's semi-idiotic girlfriend, or of an LA coffee joint trying hard to be ironic, staffed by gen pop hipsters with conspicuous nose rings and generic tribal tattoos. Something the protagonist would look upon with brief, gentle derision.

Exactly.
