Since we don't have those any more, it refers to any rather squalid
toilet - think about the bookmaker scene in Trainspotting.
You mean you actually understand the dialog in Trainspotting - my
housekeeper who originally comes from Glasgow admits she can't
understand much of the dialog :-)
I like the bit where they subtitle it during the party. ^_^
Only because the music is so loud, so they have to. No vintage computer
sightings in that one, but a great movie all the same!
The book is better. Spud does a lot more in the book, but it's all
"fourth wall" dialogue - he's talking to you, rather than the characters
in the book. More like he's telling you about it after it's all past,
rather than as the story develops.
Dangerously offtopic, I know.
