Straight. I actually hire a little Cambodian guy to wear an Elf costume and sit next to my pond at home with a little fishing rod. Works out a lot cheaper than purchasing a Garden Gnome, I can tell you.

Why don't you just boil up a couple of pans of water on the stove, or don't you have one of those either

^I agree with patsy. It's what I do when the dishes are really greasy. Otherwise, it's just cold water from the tap. Not everyone has hot/cold water faucets....

The Thai also, they use gobs of it, shampoos up the wazzoo!

Do what the Romans did!

Sadly consumerism culture encourages us to use more, and the some. More is better! [Not]

In truth less is more, but they don't teach this in school.

A mate of mine refuses to get a dishwasher. He's never had one. His rationale is "Why would you need a dishwasher, when you have kids?"

Just thinking!

You are at the massage parlour covered in bay oil. Which do you use to get cleaned up after. Hot water or cold water?

We've a couple of Karen refugees.
Out back in one of the spare sheds.

They'll do most everything for rice and water.
Savages.
