I haven't had one for about 6 years. Hasn't done me any harm.

*starts planning a bubble bath*

just what my back and neck are needing.

they can't be bad for you, unless you're a lady. Ladies seem to think anything under "freshly boiled kettle" on the hotness scale is akin to an artic winter and aren't happy until they've boiled themselves red.... that's surely bad for you!

Not great for the love spuds, so if you're planning on some baby making action I'd stick to showers ๐Ÿ™‚

dunno about bad for you but a long post ride soak in a proper hot bath (very pink when I get out) will completely shag my legs, no chance of riding anywhere next day, whereas a cold bath will normally atleast let me do a bit of riding next day.

They're bad for the gas/leccy bill.

What's that? Yes I am from Yorkshire, why do you ask?

The survey suggested that taking eight-minutes showers would cost an average UK family ยฃ416 a year; using a power shower would see the annual bill soar to ยฃ918.

Don't poo in the shower though. I did once, had a poorly tummy; what a mess. ๐Ÿ™

Had to squish it down the plughole with me big toe. Right palaver.

Back in the day, when I were a lass (about 10 years old), all of the girls in my year were taken out for 'a talk' where we were told about periods and given a free gift bag containing Bodyform towels and tampons.

We were told many things about our lady caves, including that excessive bathing with soap and bubble bath disturbs the pH, and can lead to a bout of thrush. I've been paranoid about bubble bath ever since. The smiling face of Matey Bubble Bath has always struck me as being a bit sinister...

Probably not relevant to you, though.

Laptops and showers don't mix, whereas you can use them in the bath.

I like hot baths, but not silly hot. They actually seem to help my recovery after strenuous exertion.

Also, apparently when subjected to intense heat or cold your body produces heat shock proteins which are amazingly good anti-oxidants. Maybe that's why Finns survive despite eating lard and chips all the time/

Good point Yeti. You can't read the paper in the shower either. Unless you really were planning on making a papier mache cast of you're vegetable patch

I read in Smash Hits once that Elton John won't have a bath cos you "Lie in all your own filth"... hmm, well YOU DO Elton (as well as other people's eh?).
So I love baths.

(Cos I hate Elton John.)

I did that in the bath as a very small child, apparently. I thought it was great that I had some little boats to play with.

My mum din't think it was great, however. ๐Ÿ˜

My son used to poo in the bath quite regularly.

Often we didn't notice until we started pouring water from the bath over his head to wash his hair. Another peril assciated with bubble bath.

hot baths are bad for snowmen .

i like a bath, but vey rarely have one. i don't like the fact that most baths are not big enough to allow you to be completely submerged. either your torso isn't covered or you knees/legs aren't.

I like Baths after a long ride and good old read of a book with a can of beer. Can't really do that in a shower. I have to have the shower scalding hot tho.

Farting in the shower is just farting, in the bath, however...

I quite enjoy a nice long hot soak, so much so we have an outdoor spa pool on our deck that is 40 degrees. Ride in front gate, over deck, plonk bike down, hop in outdoor shower (hot and cold water), hop in spa pool, relax ahhhhhhhh hop out, hot cold legs for 5 minutes, wander inside, have a cuppa. Perfecto.

Not if you put your hand under your arse to ensure you are above the plimsoll line.

Can get a dead hand if you take too long though.

Poor yourself a brandy in a proper glass. Float it in the bath water for a while, it stays upright. Drink brandy at body temperature, it's like rocket fuel, ready to vaporise.

But the bathroom smells like a distillery after.
