"A hotel chain is employing human bed warmers to help guests get a good night's sleep The walking electric blankets are dressed in special all-in-one sleeper suits and are sent to warm the beds of guests staying at the Holiday Inn before they get under the covers. Dr Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, said the idea could help people get off to sleep. He said: 'There's plenty of scientific evidence to show that sleep starts at the beginning of the night when body temperature starts to drop. The decline occurs partly because the blood vessels of the hands, face and feet open up and release heat. 'A warm bed – approximately 20 to 24 degrees Celsius – is a good way to start this process whereas a cold bed would inhibit sleep. Holiday Inn's new bed warmers service should help people achieve a good night's sleep especially as it's taking much longer for them to warm up when they come in from the snow.' Holiday Inn spokeswoman Jane Bednall said the idea was 'like having a giant hot water bottle in your bed'. The five minute free bed warming sessions are being tried out in London and Manchester at the end of January."

You do realize this is a board about film scores, not about whatever ephemeral bit of whack-off insipid doodle-bug nonsense that happens to catch your eye?    Posted:   Oct 22, 2017 - 12:08 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) The Telegraph is a broadsheet, and this is specifically the non-filmscore side of the board. Otherwise, good effort!    Posted:   Oct 22, 2017 - 2:03 PM     By:   WILLIAMDMCCRUM   (Member) It used to be a royal prerogative. Back as early as the 10th Century BC King David was supposed to employ a young girl to lie across his feet to keep them warm, all night in his old age. It's in the Bible. I don't think 5 minutes is long enough though. Amazingly there's still an Edinburgh sleep research unit, according to the article. I remember vaguely once being asked by a medic flatmate of mine if he could borrow one of my film score LPs to play as subtle background music whilst he entertained a young lady who was a visiting London sleep scientist (she was researching pillow head-banging at the unit!) in a quiet one-to-one setting. For whatever reason, what did he choose? Miklos Rozsa's 'Ben-Hur' with the National Philharmonic on Decca. Whatever floats yer boat. I asked him how it went. Apparently it was very atmospheric, but the 'big fanfares' ruined the intimacy. It's not always easy to rise to the occasion.    Posted:   Oct 22, 2017 - 2:07 PM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) This is only good, at least for me, if it's a pretty girl and she's still in the bed when I get there. Realistically, however, you'll need somebody with enough body fat to get the bed warm, so they'll need to employee fat people. I think an electric blanket is better than a real human being with who knows what kind of bodily habits and cleanliness, being in the bed before you. I heard a few months ago of a service being offered for cuddling. Yeah, lonely guys paying to have a girl cuddle with them.    Posted:   Oct 22, 2017 - 8:42 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) Tabloid stupidity.

Ladies and gentlemen, we found our new FSM Troll.    Posted:   Oct 22, 2017 - 9:16 PM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) It's ABOUT TIME I was getting paid for doing this. Instead of always being led away in handcuffs.    Posted:   Oct 23, 2017 - 2:53 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Tabloid stupidity. You do realize this is a board about film scores, not about whatever ephemeral bit of whack-off insipid doodle-bug nonsense that happens to catch your eye? erm...no Born, sorry. This actually IS a forum for...." whatever ephemeral bit of whack-off insipid doodle-bug nonsense that happens to catch your eye". I was never sure myself but my suspicions were confirmed by the use of the words "Non Film-score Discussion"    Posted:   Oct 23, 2017 - 3:01 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) I was in my room and i rang and asked for a bedwarmer. They said Certainly Sir. What size "bedwarmer" would you like? And do you want White, Ebony or Asian? And do you want any specific exotic requirements?"    Posted:   Oct 23, 2017 - 3:59 AM     By:   Rameau   (Member) Getting into a bed that someone's just got out of...that'll get the punters in! I rather like the feel of the cold sheets when you first get into bed, maybe heated toilet seats would be better, er, no, not even that.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Holiday Inn Human Bed Warmers (UK)    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
