Just casually walk in and get undressed.Tell him " this is how we Europe guys do it".
He already thinks I'm a fag, had lads round for cans before heading out last weekend, threw on Borat for the giggles, obviously 5 lads sitting around a laptop screen in the living room / kitchen when the Flatmate wanders through the door, spots the naked man wrestling, and packs a hasty retreat through the kitchen door, almost fell over himself doing it.
Next night, similar story, except up a notch, we had Bruno on...
He finally exited the shower, and I had a nice icy shower to start my Monday...
Not being able to cook is a disaster to be honest, he bought a rice cooker, and its permanently stocked with rice, so I guess he wont starve, just might get a bit bored...
My flatmate has been in the shower since 8am, there are 4 of us in the flat.
He's from China, never lived away from home before, doesn't know how to cook etc...
What's my line?
So he's been in the shower for an hour at peak morning time?
- Wait till he gets out of shower and into his room;
- Wait five minutes;
- Knock on his door and ask if he has a quick second;
- Politely explain that there is a queue to use the bathroom at that time of the morning and you would appreciate if he could get in and out a little faster;
Seriously, that's taking the piss and you just need to nip it in the bud instantly.
EDIT: So you missed the chance to do that. Seriously, you need to say it straight up when next you see him. Can't be pussyfooting around with that stuff - and if he is just off the boat so to speak he needs to learn what is acceptable or not.

Build on that,tell him he's better of showering when you're not there as sometimes you get these........"urges".
Official Head Marshall of Waterford Gay Pride Festival 2015
Opening Paragraph: "Numbers attending Mass held steady today, and in some places were up on recent weeks, despite a call for a boycott, according to priests and bishops who spoke to The Irish Times."
sur they wouldnt lie ted.
jesus microeconomics is such drivel. cant believe i woke up early for this
When i was going back to college in 4th year there was a young Chinese couple living in the house i had lined up.They were only going to be there for 2 more weeks as had been living there all summer and were moving on. They both worked shift work, not sure where cause they hadn't a work of english and i was a bit rusty on my Chinese. They used to get in together at 4am and take turns using the shower for half an hour each. The walls in the house were pretty thin and u could hear the shower was on through the whole house. Woke me up for 2 weeks straight every night till they left. I tried asking them to wait till later but the language barrier was a big problem and they didnt understand or didnt care.
Was great when they left but i went into their room after they did and the smell would toss ya. There was manky food left in plastic bags all over the place just going off. Not sure what kinda stuff it was but the smell was unusual to say the least. The bad beat was that i had to move into their room after they left.
Seriously, you need to say it straight up when next you see him. Can't be pussyfooting around with that stuff - and if he is just off the boat so to speak he needs to learn what is acceptable or not.
Definitely this, emmet.
If you leave it any length of time before telling him then it just looks as if it's some new rule you've invented to annoy him.
Explain to him today that an hour in the shower is not acceptable.

Hey, anyone know how the incremental pay increase system works in the civil service? No-one here in the department seems to know, despite them all being on it. My understanding at the moment is that as long as your progress is satisfactory, which is the case for just about everyone, then you get a one-point increase on the payscale, but that it's nearly impossible to get more than a one point increase unless you get promoted to a higher job.
i.e. in my position would have to spend six years rising through the six points on the senior lecturer scale, despite the fact that each increment only has about £1,200 of a difference, meaning max pay increase over six years is about £7,000, unless promoted to Reader. That seems like a crap system. You'd think it would reflect the level of your work during the year, with some people rising quicker and some slower.
lol publicsectoraments
wait until George the Grim Reaper is finished with the UK PS, I doubt even those increments will apply any longer
"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
Sonic Beat is running in the last in Roscommon today. I can't really see it happening, he'd have to find nearly three stone with one of them and there are a couple of sharp enough looking ones in it that he's over a stone wrong with. In his favour he's in good form and should be better able for the trip than some of the others. I'll make the trip down for the day out but I think I'll save the 'One Time' for another day.

This is the worst tip/non tip I've seen on the interweb. I have no idea what to do with this information. THis is why the villagers lynched you Tony.
Is there someone here doing Laptop repairs?
a Hinge is broken on a Dell (inspiron 1620) I think it is
What kind of money / time turnaround am I looking at?
my 3 y/o daughter has tonsillitis so I'm staying at home with her today. She was banging away with lego in the playroom for the last while and just brought in her creation - looks like a building so I asked her what it was.
"it's where we put the bad people Daddy - to kill them"
feck's sake and I thought I was a right winger! Better make sure she doesn't ever get into politics

I like this kid. I've got tonsolitis and so people have to die. Obviously not the type to feel sorry for herself, an excellent trait.
For every grade in the public sector there is an incremental scale- with emphasis on the mental.
For examples sake, A grade 5 would have five incremental increases at regular intervals until they reach the top of that scale. When they are two years at the top of that scale they would get a LSI or long service increment.
If they were promoted in the meantime to say grade 6 they would start at the bottom of the grade 6 incremantel scale unless they were able to negotiate starting at a higher point during their interview.
You're right though, it's an insane system. The increments come automatically and are only down to time served rather than any output or efficiency or performance.
So, useless cow who sits beside me texting all day gets the same increments when the time comes that I do and she wouldn't work to warm herself.
My increments are due every November (I don't ususally see them until the following February). Pretty much all evaporated now due to cuts etc. Haven't seen one in two years.
Sorry about the wordy and badly spelled reply, Monday morning and all that.
We've discussed this matter with Sunil at Saagar and there was indeed a closure order placed on the Harcourt Street premises in July of this year.
The closure order was put in place for a failure to present proper documentation (check-lists etc.) when the inspector called around. There was never any question with regards to food quality, hygiene standards or safety. The closure order was in place from 5pm on a Thursday until Monday morning when Saagar furnished the FSAI with the requested documentation.
Sunil has asked me to let you know that he, and all at Saagar, are committed to food hygiene and standards - this was the first and only time since the restaurant opened in 1992 that there has been an issue with the FSAI.
You see Billy it's like this, you either smoke or you get smoked. And you got smoked
the situation has moved on, she's been reading some book about Grandads and is getting a bit obsessed (her own two are long dead)
her; Daddy, where are my grandads?
me; um, er, they're gone. They got very sick and they're gone.
her; are they deaded?
me; yes, they're dead.
her; did the bad people kill them?
WTF???
Kids are funny, I went to visit my grandparents grave in Sutton yesterday and the youngest lad was asking loads of questions on how/why they were dead and could we not dig them up and wash them to make them clean
Managed to get my car insurance reduced by £200 this morning. I changed my occupation to 'paedophile'.Apparently driving around slowly and being on the lookout for children is just what they're looking for in a customer.
