Damn all y’all and negative sentiment, I think this is great. Its not like the urinals are there during the day when you are there so why does it bother you so?

On a busy night there is nothing worse than waiting in line at a busy club needing to pee. I do feel sorry for the young ladies though.

Better than pissing on the street!

I thought maybe this would make me feel urinal-envy. Wait. No, nothing.

I feel a genuine sadness that the needs of men are being met, but not those of women. Last time I’ll mention this, as I hate being the boring serious one.

If you consider the need being met more broadly as one of being able to walk the streets of the city without splashing through urine, I think it is one felt equally by men and women.

Alternatively, you could always use the provided facilities in conjuction with one of these…

Does urine have any commercial value?

It was used to cure bacon and other meat.
The chemical in the urine acted as a steriliser to keep bacteria at bay.

Of course this was during the time before modern technology was able to decipher the chemicals within urine that acted as the steriliser. I don’t think in this modern day and age butchers piss on their bacon…?

I also do not think butchers piss on their bacon.

Does urine have any commercial value? It used to be used by tanners, but I suppose it isn’t any more. In ancient Rome one of the Caesars collected it and sold it for a profit. This pissed off (no pun intended) the Senate, who criticised him for making money from such a thing. His reply was “Pecunia non olet” (money doesn’t stink).

And what exactly do you suggest? Maybe your suggestions would be better presented to CCBD Pty Ltd rather than The RiotAct Pty Ltd – they may be in a better position to alleviate your pressing concerns.

What are you on about? There are public toilets in Civic. And plenty of pub toilets to use too.

If you really want a similar solution for women, I suggest that you encourage women to urinate on the street more frequently to demonstrate a need.

I reckon their estimate is a fib. Anyone doing a pee after a few beers would be peeing way more than a couple of hundred mls. Make that 100-120 men on Saturday night and a grand total of fewer than 400 over the four nights.

Agree. Unless…

Is it going to be recycled?

Maybe some on them took it upon themselves to recycle directly…?

How do they know that 1200 men exactly pissed 225 litres. Is someone standing there with a clicker?

Into beer?

The human body is a machine for turning beer into Fosters.

A simple solution to a problem, i like it. However, I don’t think this is an indication of people urinating on the street, many would go into a pub. Probably would help reduce queues inside the pub though.
