a definite over the top, especially for those occasional night visits.

It's frustrating fiddling around in the dark, trying to find the leading edge, especially if the despenser is recessed in the wall.

And please lads, seat down, there is nothing worse than expecting to find familiar firm resistance, only to discover the shock of your knees at ear level and your bottom dipped in icy water. It takes more than flowers and chocolate to put one in a good mood after that. (tiny women have been known to disappear and come back later with their attorneys)

On the other hand, for a male there is also nothing worse than having to take a desparate whizz only to discover a fluffy toilet seat cover which refuses to stay up mid-stream. Standing on one foot whilst holding the lid open with the other, is a challenge to both balance and aim. And kneeling holding the lid up with your forehead would, only appeal to some religious groups.

Although, an acceptable alternative could be the bath tub, your aim doesn't have to be good and you can always rinse it out if you care to. This will depend on the degree of mutual contempt in the relationship. Or alternatively, you could follow the path of my cousin who sleep walked to the clothes closet to relieve himself.
