In order to reduce the clutter in your bathroom, bathroom cupboards can offer a useful storage solution helping you keep your bathroom neat and tidy at all times. These cupboards come in a selection of shapes and sizes to suit any bathroom design from large wall hung options for larger bathrooms to smaller storage solutions for the more compact bathroom design.

These bathroom cupboards are a fantastic addition to any bathroom design, big or small. These floor mounted cupboards are available in a stunning white which blends in with any colour scheme. There are two good sized storage drawers, the second drawer offers a metal rack which is a laundry basket for all the dirty laundry, ensuring the bathroom is completely clutter free at all times.

They stand 120cm in height and available in a sleek black which is guaranteed to make a statement in your bathroom. These bathroom cupboards also offer the chance to add some colour to your bathroom design.

When I was thinking of what to discuss this afternoon I decided I would test people’s great knowledge of films. In particular I wanted to test people’s knowledge of films with you guessed it BATHROOMS.
At first I was thinking to myself surely there is not that many films that feature a bathroom or a toilet in it. Then I looked down at my list of films and was staggered by how many film that feature a great bathroom scene in their respective films. I was also staggered to see that there was such a diverse range of films and subject matter that featured a bathroom scene. Ranging from laugh out loud comedy moments to outrageous violence scenes and everything in between it seems the bathroom is a backdrop that is utilised in the film industry to great effect.
So with all these memorable film scenes taking place in a bathroom I though I’d share my top 5. I will unfortunately assume you have seen the films listed if not then I highly suggest you watch them not just for the bathroom scenes mentioned but also because they are great films.
Austin Powers – “Who does number 2 work for”
When I first saw this film as a teenager I fell over myself laughing at this scene and I still chuckle now. Yes call me crude but even now as a grown man I enjoy toilet humour and this bathroom scene is one of the best. Some classic lines of support from the American in the next cubical is sheer brilliant.
Lethal Weapon 2 -“Do we go on 3 or 1 2 3 and then go”
For me the Lethal Weapon films are brilliant. The blend of action and comedy combined with the fantastic chemistry between Riggs and Murtaugh aka Mel Gibson and Danny Glover is superb. This scene in particular when Murtaugh is on the toilet with a bomb attached to it is a scene that highlights the friendship between the two of them.
Jurassic Park -“When you gotta go you gotta go”
This scene is Steven Spielberg at his very best with this outstandingly funny yet pretty grizzily death scene. I hope you can remember the scene which I am referring to where the somewhat annoying lawyer runs to the toilet shed to escape from the dinosaurs. Only to be confronted with the mamma of all dinosaurs T-Rex who enjoys the lawyer as a taste snack.
Psycho -“Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh”
This is a scene from one the best suspense, horror and thriller directors of all time Alfred Hitchcock, the scene is from arguably his most famous film Psycho. Hopefully you have all seen this film if not then don’t carry on reading this blog, stop whatever your doing and go watch it now. The scene is fantastically directed and edited seeing as all the violence is imagined by you the viewer. At no time do you see the knife piece or cut Marion Crane who unfortunately stopped at the wrong motel. It is an ultimately nasty violent scene yet no big blood splats or close up brutality horror at its best by being imagined by the viewer. Modern horror movies should take note that you don’t need to show blood and guts for viewers to experience feelings of dred.
Last but not least is
There’s Something About Marry –“I got IT stuck…..”
If there was ever a bathroom scene that has every male who watches it grimace and slowly fold their legs carefully it’s this film. The scene as you should all know involves Ben Stiller as Ted Stoehmann who has a quite remarkable trouser zip malfunction. This malfunction is enough to bring a tear to my eye. Luckily it all worked out in the end.
Hope you have enjoyed my little list of bathroom scenes. As I stated there is plenty more scenes out there and I have included the rest of my list below. As always please comment as I love to hear from you all and please let me know if I’ve missed out any other great bathroom scenes.
Thought I’d share this photo with you, and as it’s Friday, have added a few more funny quotes about bathrooms.
What kind of person goes out of their way, gets a permanent marker, goes to a stinky bathroom, just to scibble nonsense on the wall, so others can read it?
Toilet Graffiti
Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
Toilet Graffiti
Everything is a miricle. It’s a miricle that one does not disolve in one’s bath like a lump of sugar.
Pablo Picasso
I knew I was an unwanted baby. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
Joan Rivers
Right now I’m just delighted to be alive and to have had a nice long bath.
Richard Branson
If you go long enough without a bath, even the fleas will leave you alone.
Ernie Pyle
How long a minute is, depends on which side of the bathroom door you are on.

The only time the world beats a path to your door is if you’re in the bathroom.

Got any quotes from the bathroom, seen any funny graffiti quotes? List them below in the comments and give everyone a laugh.
Friday’s fun poll continues on from my previous blog about the position of the TPDS (toliet paper delivery system). If you haven’t read the previous blog i’d suggest you go back and have a quick read to get more of an understanding of the issue involved.
If you are fully upto date with this connumbdrum of a debate then please let me know what your decision is on this matter.
I know some of you will have very strong opinions and if you’d like to leave a comment to help persude others that your way is the right way then please do.
For those of you that either don’t know what were talking about or simply think that this whole debate is irrelevant and pointless please vote as well.
After blogging on the top 5 shower radios earlier on in the week I thought it would be appropriate to continue the theme and ask you all what you listen to in the shower.
There is lots of choice out there with regard to radio stations almost too much choice. There are radio stations for Funk, Garage, Soul, Reggae, Pop, Rock, Metal, Disco, Jazz, Classical, Opera, Rap, Hip-hop, Ska, Dubstep, Dance, Drum and Bass literally every type or form of music is available. Sometimes though you do need to do a bit of searching but eventually you find what you’re looking for.
Maybe you have a fancy hi-tech shower radio that incorporates Bluetooth and are able to stream your own tunes from your mobile or computer and don’t listen to the radio. Maybe you even have a morning playlist that helps to wake you up and get you fully re-vitalised for the day ahead.
With so much choice with regards to music and radio choices and due to everyone’s individual preferences it’s time to have a poll and see what everyone listens to.
Below is a simple poll with a few choices. As always please leave a comment as i’d love to hear from you. You can even suggest the frequency and name of your favourite station so i can check it out. As always enjoy.

Shower radios are brilliant they give you useful information in the morning from the news, weather and travel reports. Plus they provide music for you to dance and sing (usually badly unless your blessed with a voice like Tom Jones or Aretha Franklin).
So to help you have the best shower experience possible in your new shower enclosure here is my top 5 shower radios to purchase.
Top 5 Shower Radios
Steepletone Penguin Shower Radio
H20-100 Power Water Pressure Powered Shower Radio
Microphone Shower Radio
Hipe Waterproof Bluetooth Stereo Shower Speaker & Hands free Speakerphone for streaming Audi and Answering your phone-White
Clatonic DR 814 Shower Radio with Motion Sensor – White
Steepletone Penguin Shower Radio
This is a good all round fun shower radio that is ideal for people with a fun sense of humour or for a family with kids. The radio is in the shape of a penguin with a rubber ring and goggles. It has easy to use buttons and requires 3 AA batteries to work and can tune into both FM and MW.
H20 – 100 Power Water Pressure Powered Shower Radio
This is a fantastic shower radio that is truly a work of brilliant innovation. The radio does not need batteries to work as it is powered by the water pressure of the shower. I mean that is very clever plus environmentally friendly and cost saving on batteries.
The radio is easy to install directly onto the faucet of your shower, when you turn the shower on it turns the turbine inside the radio and generates power to run the radio. The radio will also work after the shower is turned off as the turbine also charges up the rechargeable battery inside meaning you can be listening to your tunes while drying off. Easy to use buttons are situated on the front of the radio.
Microphone Shower Radio
If you enjoy singing in the shower and I mean who doesn’t, then this is the shower radio for you. The radio is shaped like a microphone with easy to use buttons on the side. There is also a hook at the bottom so when you don’t want to sing into the mic when your favourite tune is playing you can always hang it up. This is defiantly the radio if you are a budding rock or pop star.
Hipe Waterproof Bluetooth Stereo Shower Speaker & Hands free Speakerphone for streaming Audi and Answering your phone-White
This is the most hi-tech and expensive of the radios listed but it does come with some impressive features that warrant the price tag. The radio is Bluetooth enabled and so you can connect to any other Bluetooth device. This enables you to be able to stream music and even answer phone calls from your mobile while being in the shower. This is defiantly the radio for people constantly on the move or gadget lovers. This radio has easy to use buttons on the front and is available in white or black.
Clatonic DR 814 Shower Radio with Motion Sensor
This is a fantastic shower radio that has some great features. The radio has easy to use buttons located on the front of it and a hook at the top but that is not the main feature of this radio. The main feature is that the radio has a built in motion sensor that automatically turns the radio on and off. It also has both AM and FM bands giving you a wide choice of stations to listen to.
Well hope you enjoyed my top 5 shower radios and that you found your perfect companion to compliment your new shower enclosure.

Earlier on this week we delved into the world of super hero’s and who you would have re-decorate your bathroom. We found out that although super hero’s are good at saving the world on potentially re-decorating a bathroom they maybe less then useless.
So for today’s Friday fun poll i thought it was time we give the super villans a chance at playing Lawerence Llwellyn Bowen. For anyone that does’nt know who he is. He is a camp presenter on one of those re-decorating home programes where it’s all a surprise and everyone always really likes it even though from the look on their faces they clearly hate it.
Anyway enjoy the poll and if you feel like you are super enough and need a re-decoration be sure to check out all our products here.
Also please do comment if your favourite super villain isant listed, have fun.
We’ve decided here at Kings Bathrooms that were going to do a fun poll every Friday. Ever poll will have something to do with the bathroom although may get abit obsceur as we run out of things to ask. But for the time being we are starting off nice and easy and following up from our last poll on favourite bathroom colour to favourite bathroom style.
As with all our polls if you have a different answer then the one’s being offered then please comment. Have fun with this all week’s and feel free to send it to friends to see what they think.
The main reason why I’ve picked this question to write about is that here at Kings Bathrooms we have just made an offers page with 19 products all with great discounts with one product being reduced by up to £50. So while producing this page it got me thinking what constitutes or makes a good offer?
You see all the time in supermarket’s offers like, two for one and buy two get one free etc, etc and some times these offers are actually not very good. It can simply be a case that the supermarket has over stocked and needs to get rid of the items before they go out of date meaning your not actually getting a good deal at all. Or that the original price of the item has actually increased from its usual price to make you think that you’re getting a good deal when again in fact your not.
It could be argued it’s the same with clothes shops, that only the old styles or clothes with strange sizes go on offer, so again unless your super skinny or super large there’s actually no offer there at all.
Then of course you also have the ridiculous offers where it is simply too good to be true and it’s just a scam. The offer’s where you buy a mars bar and you get a free iPad2 is clearly some kind of scam or a ridiculous marketing ploy. It is only in the term and conditions that you have to buy 15 thousand mars bars to get the free iPad2.
So with a quick bit of maths it’s clear that if you brought 15 thousand mars bars you could easily pay for two iPad2’s and still have change.
To brighten up the tone and not get you questioning every purchase you ever make, I want to re-assure you that there are genuine good deals and offers out there. If you are a savvy offer shopper then you may already know about www. Hotukdeals.com. If not I would highly suggest you check it out, as it is consumers who post the deals that they have seen in shops and tell you where you can get them.
So there is a brighter side to offers and there are genuine deals to be had, it may just take a little more searching. I hope you enjoyed reading this short article and have time to visit our new offers page, as we feel they are genuine discounts with no searching involved. As always we would love to hear from you so drop a comment below.
