Salient. Newspaper of Victoria University of Wellington Students Association. Vol 41 No. 6. April 3 1978

Dear Cross,

Well, if I gave your flatmate a piece of my mind she'd have to spend two weeks in the tub to soak off the residue. But I do have two suggestions to try if this ever happens again.

1)remove the lock on the bathroom door in advance of the visit,
2)install microphones around the tub. When the pair next indulge, turn up the amp with speakers throughout the house. This way either the sound itself will make you forget about everything else or else when they hear their own grunts and growns reverberating through the building they just might get the hint.

There's one other possibility too. Turn off the power to the hot water cylinder and about half an hour later offer them both a hot cup of tea.

Yours,

Colin
