*This Episode was recorded on 29th March- apologies it was late! Full explanation is in Episode 18!*

I’m sat on a cruise ship, in a cabin setup so scrappy it involves a Pringles can, and I’m telling the truth about the weird things I proudly owned when I lived alone. Not “tasteful quirky”. Proper bachelor-home oddities, mostly in the bathroom for reasons I still can’t explain.

We get into the greatest hits: a barbed wire toilet seat, an RGB toilet bowl night light for late-night trips, and a talking toilet roll holder that plays whatever phrase you record. Funny for guests, terrifying when you forget it’s there and grab loo roll at 2am. I also revisit the darker humour side of novelty home decor, like a knife block that looks like a little figure being stabbed, plus other bits designed to get a laugh and spark a “why do you own this?” conversation.

The more interesting thread is what all these gimmicky gadgets say about personal space. I’m big on function, so I rant a bit about products that choose the joke over good design, and why some novelty accessories never earn their place. I talk openly about the shift from living alone to sharing a home with my wife Sarah, where you learn what to keep, what to stash away, and what you’ve simply out grown.

If you’ve ever bought something ridiculous for your flat, your house, or your bathroom, then prepare to feel seen. Subscribe, share the episode with a mate who’d laugh, leave a review, and tell me the strangest thing you owned when nobody could stop you.
