The Privy Counsel Map of the World

We've created a rather thrilling map of the world, marking the locations of the toilets we've reviewed, for the delight and edification of our readers. This was requested by Semi-Intellectual Friend; cred and honour to that bizarre bundle of hair and nerve synapses.

Here it is:

We know you're just dying to know what Semi-Intellectual Friend looks like - here's a picture!

Can't find the spot of your lair? Privy Counsellor not been marking your territory? Got a toilet picture you simply must share with the world? E-mail us at theprivycounsellor@gmail.com.

THE PRIVY COUNSEL - THE INTELLECTUAL TOILET BLOG

PLUMBING THE DEPTHS
The Privy Counsel is an international community of intellectuals, giving counsel, advice and information on toilet-related topics. Why toilets? we hear you ask. Because toilets matter! Ever been to a great restaurant, café or pub only to have the experience tarnished by a less-than-lovely toilet? If you have ever been annoyed by a bad bog, this blog is for you!

Other things we love are history, especially medical history, and especially anything to do with syphilis. And rum. And some good, rampant feminism.

Our simple sense of humour belies our actual academic credentials.

CONTACT
For companionship and solace, like our Facebook page! We also spread our wit and intellectualism around on Twitter a fair amount, so do follow us there. (Although frankly we think that, instead of frittering your time away on social media sites, you'd be more productively occupied taking pictures of toilets and sending them to us.)

You can also e-mail us at theprivycounsellor [at] gmail.com.

REGULAR FEATURES
Toilet Tales
Our marvellous mysteries, wholesome whodunnits and thrilling tales are taking the world by storm! Such classics as Jane Eyre; Sherlock Holmes; Robin Hood; Gone with the Wind; Dracula;Lady Chatterley's Lover; Alien vs. Predator; The Terminator; A Rootin', Tootin' Toilet Tale, and many more, are now available in Toilet Tale form! Got a request? Leave a comment or e-mail us! theprivycounsellor [at] gmail.com

Privy Counsel Pin-Ups
What in the name of arse are Privy Counsel Pin-Ups? you may wonder. And wonder rightly. Put simply, it's a picture of a celebrity in the bath. Any celebrity, any bath. We're not picky.

The Privy Counsel Pin-Ups now come with up to 50 % more gender equality! (And considerably lower levels of creepiness.)

Toilet Songs
Be Bowled Over by the Splashing Sensation That's Rocking the Nation!
Our unique collection of songs with toilet-related lyrics is bound to get you moving!

FRIENDS

We have a frankly mindboggling amount of Friends, who are our eyes and ears (and, in some cases, noses) and keep us updated on interesting toilet-related things happening around the world. You can locate our friends in "There's Reason to Our Madness" (a.k.a. "labels") below. For instance, there's Australian Friend, Enlightened Friend, Semi-Intellectual Friend, Tudor Friend, Medievalist (with a Side Interest in Roman Archaeology) Friend, etc. Oh, and Jonny counts as a friend for administrative reasons.

OTHER DELIGHTFUL AND EDIFYING SITES

A delightful blog by two feisty females ranting about the patriarchy, while simultaneously tweeting the pick-up lines we DO want to hear.
