RE: lcd bathroom project again - success yet?

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Go to Shimla Pinks in Broad Street in Birmingham...

Then go to the Gents...

They have a screen built into the urinal!

- obviously one of the long, continuous wall-to-floor trough urinals, not
the individual porcelain ones....

Last time I went there, I took a P*ss on Mel Gibsons' face!!

Oh, and its a bl**dy good restaurant as well...
