we name things, in language, so we can differentiate it from other things when the thing is not in physical presence. language has, as i am sure you know, other uses. BATH SHEETS MANG.
maybe the following between mrs ccb and i: 4 large bath towels, maybe 4 "bathtowels" that are ok for guests but a bit small; three or four hand-towels; about half a dozen tea towels.
a bath towel is a smaller sized towel and one, i wager, would not effectively wrap around your waist. a bath sheet is a larger towel for grown ups. one that you can wrap around the self with ample towelage to spare.
(as I discovered whilst trying to move last week). I really need to throw some out, amnd probably buy some more. I'm addicted to the fluffiness of the pelt of a new towel. mmmm.

We went to Benicassim in the summer, got to Manchester airport to check-in, no problems until the last of us puts his bag on the scales and is ridiculously over the weight limit.
We all look at him because we were massively under the limit and he just looks puzzled. We ask him what he's got in his bag, to which he replies 'Nothing! The same as all you lot. Oh, wait. I have got these 4 wet towels, and proceeds to pull out a carrier bag full of towels that he didn't have time to dry.
We tell him to leave the towels, and stop being such a fucking idiot.
He still gets called Tommy four-towels. Why on earth would you take 4 towels on a week-long holiday?
But I only ever use one. I use it over and over until either the girlfriend complains or I can no longer bear to dry myself in the overpowering stench of my own arse and wash it
shit loads
5 normal sized ones, three hands towels, 7 for the kitchen and 2 beach towels.
everyday
fancy
fancy guest
errrrrr 11
My favourite episode, that.
I'm afraid I don't know
but loads more than you. My aunt shall be bringing me a new set from Norway in March, I shall then hold a towel audit.
About 6-8 bath large towels
and 4 or so hand towels.
Do you want to know about bath mats or is that for another thread?
I forgot the one in the back of my car that I use as a rag.
Just make sure you specify that they're bathmats and not part of the towel total
Appendix B is showing two bathmats
Just noticed that mathbat is a nice spoonerism.
You personally own 25 towels?
Aha
The question is really how many you personally own, if you were turfed out of your flat/parent's house/fridge box tomorrow
Same number as you
oooh upwards of thirty odd probably. I'm not in charge of towels though,
thats the wifes job. I do bins and stuff.
Wait, you have a hand-sized towel?
That's a small towel. Are you sure it's not a flannel?
Bigger than a flannel, smaller than a towel
And on second thoughts I have 2 of them, not 1.
Is it a handtowel?
A towel for hands?
tandhowel
One is definitely a hand towel
the other one is bigger than that, would be perfect for drying off children
(but which is not what I use it for)
:D
Understood.
You have a specific towel for drying off children.
:D
ban this sick filth
Travel towels are awful
I need something more to dry my glistening physique.
that would make it a bath towel
the towels we poshos use are actually called bath sheets
What - the fuck - are bath sheets?
they are the name of the towels you use
we name things, in language, so we can differentiate it from other things when the thing is not in physical presence. language has, as i am sure you know, other uses. BATH SHEETS MANG.
broken thread
also, broken language
after reading this thread
i really want to buy some more towels
i dunno
maybe the following between mrs ccb and i: 4 large bath towels, maybe 4 "bathtowels" that are ok for guests but a bit small; three or four hand-towels; about half a dozen tea towels.
2
plus i technically own the hand towels for our house, as no one else ever bothers to buy anything, but that's a different story.
Good answer
thanks
And in the cupboard under the stairs,
are the green towels, for pubic hairs.
Probably around 15 I reckon
thanks for asking
Don't know
I have two that were taken from my parents' house, but I not sure what their legal status is in terms of ownership.
And I have a Nick Cave teatowel
An item which seems less of a good idea with every passing second.
2 towels
2 handtowels
2 flannels
2 tea towels
oh and one microfibre trek towel.
sheeeet, Iforgot about the tea towels man.
4 bath sheets
2 hand towels
2 bath mats
no flannels/face cloths (how childish) at present for they are in storage
what is this bath sheet nonsense?
I dry myself on a beach towel that reads "PINA COLADA!!" in a handwritten-style font and has a picture of two chimps doing the tango on it
it is what it is
a bath towel is a smaller sized towel and one, i wager, would not effectively wrap around your waist. a bath sheet is a larger towel for grown ups. one that you can wrap around the self with ample towelage to spare.
That's more like it
I've got one blue and lime green striped one, and one with the New Zealand flag, which is one of my most regrettable possessions (it was a gift)
Can you not get eaten by cannibalist Maoris for wiping your damp arse on a New Zealand flag?
(Racist, me, much?)
I might actually throw it out
It's ridiculous. Might replace it with one of these "bath sheets"
At least 20
(as I discovered whilst trying to move last week). I really need to throw some out, amnd probably buy some more. I'm addicted to the fluffiness of the pelt of a new towel. mmmm.
i only have 2 too.
really need to get more.
my flatmate only had one.
then she stole one from the sick kids hospital. it said "HOSPITAL PROPERTY" on it.
poor kidz :(
poor wet, shivvering kids : (
send them to Lucien's Canning Town Mansion for drying
on second thoughts; don't.
on third thoughts, do
THIS IS THE LAST THING YOU WILL EVER SEE
a child sized towel with a picture of a camper van on it?
I own a beach towel with a picture of a camper van on it.
I bought it in cornwall. It doesn't dry me very well BUT IT LOOKS REALLY REALLY COOL.
There are several yellow towels in this house. I refuse to admit ownership for any of them.
My children drying-size towel is yellow
It's an ugly item
We have a flannel in our downstairs 'rest room'.
I thought it was a towel. I was wrong. Still, at least now I can mop my brow after a particularly tricky shit.
I have 2 blue dog drying towels
I once accidentally used one of them to dry my face. Something about hamster AIDS.
Are they suitable for drying all colours of dog?
If not that's a bit, y'know, racist of you.
I think she means blue in the same sense as a 'blue steak'.
Or maybe it's a 'blue' dog that tells rude jokes.
Or maybe it's just for depressed dogs.
maybe it's a singing dog

Where's ol' no towels?
Is this me?
hi!
(I have loads of towels)
Hi! Indeed it is.
Travel towel does not equal towel, soz.
Shut up
I'm not even counting that one. I'll show ya!
What about toweling dressing gowns?
I have two of those. One for good and one for post shower drying purposes.
One for good, one for evil?
Aha
I've got a black one with a hood. If you want to look like the harbinger of disease and pestilence immediately prior to stripping down for sex, accept no substitute
nothing like 'the fear' to get it done when it needs to be
Many.
Acquired over the years.
None match.
A new low for DiS?
Towel-related, mildly (kind of) amusing story.
We went to Benicassim in the summer, got to Manchester airport to check-in, no problems until the last of us puts his bag on the scales and is ridiculously over the weight limit.
We all look at him because we were massively under the limit and he just looks puzzled. We ask him what he's got in his bag, to which he replies 'Nothing! The same as all you lot. Oh, wait. I have got these 4 wet towels, and proceeds to pull out a carrier bag full of towels that he didn't have time to dry.
We tell him to leave the towels, and stop being such a fucking idiot.
He still gets called Tommy four-towels. Why on earth would you take 4 towels on a week-long holiday?
^ good story, would read again
I have loads
But I only ever use one. I use it over and over until either the girlfriend complains or I can no longer bear to dry myself in the overpowering stench of my own arse and wash it
