yup, that's exactly what it was.

What Piman's talking about: I was changing the settings on it, oblivious to how loud it was and everything around me, and I looked back up, and everyone, teacher, students, everyone was staring at me trying to figure out what I was doing...I think I stalled class for a good two-to-three minutes just by changing the settings on the thing.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

And finally the removal of the bathroom begins. That damn suite hadn't been changed since the house was first constructed in the 1960's, meaning deliciously brown bath and toilet suites, mixed with sumptious glittery tiles.

Sumptuous, now there's a word that doesn't get used often enough.

It has a lovely feel when you say it...almost making it a luxurious word to say.

Unfortunately, the bathroom was anything but luxurious.

Certainly not in connection with bathrooms.

It's not just the meaning, it's the sound as it rolls off your tongue. The tone and cadence of the word communicate the idea every bit as well as the literal meaning.

Oh, I agree with you. Still not something commonly associated with bathrooms.

Tennis is fun. Appreciate your ACLs, young man. Seriously.
