it was for the toaster. you know - the holy toast.

*runs away*

i can't imagine anything worse than lying there, legs akimbo, while various elderly aunts tut about the state of your bikini line (we used to take it all off in my day, dear) and comment on the size of your arse. bruh.

i know it's my umpteenth comment of the day, but i'm really interested in what ang said about the light switches (like in the pink room). were these patient rooms?

i've just read this thread - may i say how much i enjoyed the phrase "chubby apparition"...ooh! look everyone! it's the ghost of mickey rooney!

so. to sum up - this one is creepy then?

*sighs*

ooh! my new favourite picture. um, for today, obviously. well, for the next ten minutes, at least....

sianaby, as a fellow uk resident i'd be interested to hear your sources for the died at birth/asylum/drowning thing. not something i've heard of..

i think novocaine was referrring to all the "ooh, was that where they tortured them?" comments from spidergirl at the beginning of this gallery...

maybe it's not a lack of empathy. maybe it's more that these are places that those with an interest might otherwise never get to see. i personally think motts photographs in an extremely emotional way, which is dispassionate and personal at the same time. i haven't explained that very well...um...i think what i'm trying to say is that everyone's response is valid to them. appreciation is a personal thing - what you "get", someone else may not - it doesn't mean they're not thinking, it just means they're not writing it down.

right. i'll shut up now

*wanders off*

i love the "howdy" sticker. marvellous.

oh, go on then.

lynne?

um.....

*considers above comment but doesn't know where to begin*

*blushes prettily*

i hope you left the 'blood' there. that'd give the next people in there something to talk about....

oh, and i keep expecting her eyes to pop open. thanks for that...

shawn - joke. joke - shawn.

there. now the introductions are over with, shall we carry on?

um, clothes?

thanks lynne - i've been browsing the comments over the last few days and was sure you'd know the answer!

was there any sort of activity/stimulation offered for people in these? or, if one of these is required, is that not necessary?

can you immagine being the office junior in the geology dept at the university?

"just pop over to the store room and get me the third tray down, would you? take a torch tho, it's dark over there"

"....um...okay"
