What is the best way to paint over a chrome toilet roll holder?
Just repainted my ensuite bathroom and all the trim (towel rack, countertops, mirror frame, light switches, electricity outlet, air vent, fan, floor tiles, etc.) are all nice and white ... except...

You cant paint over it. Replace it with a white one.

Where can I buy a sucker toilet roll holder from?
I've been told that there is a toilet roll holder that doesn't screw into the wall instead it's like a sucker that you push on with a plastic screw - like what hols a sat nav to a windscreen....

Imagine the moment - you are in need of toilet paper so badly and there isn't any single roll left, then you have this advertisement saying something like "If you want to get easy and fast delivery of toilet paper, go to see our Youtube video and see how to order". How comfortable that is!!!
Dime
There's a sci-fi short story I read a long time ago set in the future when, for no apparent reason, everything runs smoothly. Two people are in an automat marveling at this. One of the ubiquitous features of this world is tips are always a dime. The punchline at the end comes when one of these people asks the other who was doing all the work. A service person delivers their food, holds out his hand and says "dime". And that's the answer. But the author leaves it to the reader to make the connection. My father used to collect dimes. He started when he was a child, collecting old dimes out of pocket change. He would sort them by year, mint location, and approximate condition and when he got enough he would make a roll. He used notebook paper for most of the rolls (Dad would never buy something made from paper if he could use some scrap paper for the job). When he and Mom moved from the senior apartments to the home, he gave me his shoebox full of dime rolls, and a couple of manufactured display...
