(Hastily) That, too, of course, Scher. "My Fair Lady" is adapted from the Shaw play, Emil.

I also have a couple of dressing gowns but nothing as smart as sexy Rexy's.
I have sometimes wondered what GBS would have thought of My Fair Lady.

Hmmm, somehow I don't think he would have approved.

I'm a shower type.
Remember "soap on a rope"? I recall having an Old Spice soap on a rope.
Perhaps book on a rope for the shower people?
.
I had soap on a rope....most useless thing ever! It didn't work well as either soap or rope!
I wrote a poem on a leaf and it blew away...
Sea salt bath crystals are AWESOME when paired with a delicious mystery.

After having dropped, soaked and thereby ruined several books, I no longer indulge in this habit ...
and besides: what's the difference between "Yay" and "Aye"???
It's an earnest question
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits
in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.”
Helen Keller
I once thought of using soap on a rope because I was fed up with dropping the soap in the shower. But then I saw this advert and wasn't able to go through with it.

I've never heard of soap on a rope, it's got to be a joke. If not I can't believe it was someone's job to stick some soap on a rope. I wonder why they moved to shower gel?
I think it comes down to the amount of enthusiasm one has for reading in the bath. I see "yay" as one of great positivity whereas "aye" sounds to me a sort of take it or leave it, occasional thing.and besides: what's the difference between "Yay" and "Aye"???
I have taken my Kindle in the bath on the last two goes and I've had no problems. You can also get a plastic cover for it as well - for the beach and bath, but it's ten quid. Probably just as well with a plastic see through bag or to proceed with caution.
Loving the Kindle though, much better than paper books.
This is what it looked like. The user was supposed to wrap the rope around their wrist to stop losing it but it didn't work very well and seems to have died out.
