Guzunders [don't try to dump 20kg of stale urine out of the window though]

Good advice, but there's no need - just put the cap back on when it's full and park it in the corner. When the room is full, move into the spare room.....

Cheers,

Or take it with you next time you go to Stoney and leave it by your car.. blink and some chav will have nicked it...

I've seen them used as mooring buoys.

You can tell he's not a caver-dark blue line!

Arrows 'point' the way to safety, so [obvously] the handle end points out.

Other uses:

Giant ice cube makers [useful for igloos]

Plant pots

Floats for rafts

Guzunders [don't try to dump 20kg of stale urine out of the window though]

Novelty slippers

Pardon my ignorance, but what the hell is a Guzunders? Is it similar to a Gozinta?

The string changes colour due to the calcuim in the water and becomes a nice bright red or yellow. I thought everyone knew that.

The tub material also changes colour to black when exposed to calcium hydrates, as the benzene rings take on the excess calcium++ ions and lose some carbon ions.
