Tom Selleck without his moustache? Unthinkable.

I had a remarkably similar experience with my girlfriend watching Middlesex against Essex last month. She declined to comment on the abluting experience (airbladed or otherwise) but did seem quite enamoured with Chris Silverwood’s broad chest. Like Tom Selleck without his moustache, she opined.

Yup, you also get the proper liquid soap in pump-dispensers in those Allen Stand loos, which are I think the ones Sam is referring to. Usually the most convenient conveniences for me (the men’s equivalent I mean of course).

Another personal favourite of mine is the “loo with a view” on the Warner mezzanine. I have probably only witnessed half a dozen or so balls from there in my time, but can boast a six and a wicket amongst those

I’ve read the “match report” and all the comments but – perhaps I missed it – there didn’t seem to be anything about the cricket match.

There’s a lot here on lavatorial arrangements, I’ll grant you. but as I have an impressively long urethra (so my surgeon told me) this is information that I’ll probably never need during a Twenty20 match.

if you ever get up to the upper tier of the Grand Stand, the toilets there are great. Proper hand soap and lotion in pump-dispensers.

I believe it was the toilets by the Grace gate.

….and for those of you who do like to know about the cricket, here is the traditional cross-link to Middlesex Till We Die (MTWD)’s match report on the same match

Wonderful article, but the problem here, sam, is that you haven’t told us which toilets met your girlfriend’s approval. Lord’s toilets very enormously in style and quality.

My giirlfriend, Daisy, is very particular about her choice of toilets. Daisy tends to choose the ones between the North Gate and the Grandstand, but I think that might be a convenience thing. (Couldn’t resist it).

Ah the airblades, even if the cricket is rubbish at the Oval, and the bar queues are absurd, and it rains, at least you have the airblades…

What you mean you let your girlfriend miss the Airbladealike things in the toilets under the Mound stand?
