Devil manifests in Hungarian bathroom

A Hungarian couple have been reduced to washing in the downstairs sink after the Lord of the Flies' terrifying visage appeared in their bathroom. Poor old Laszlo Csrefko, 52, blew a "fortune" doing up the room, but no sooner had he slapped in a new bath, shower and ceramics then Satan decided to pay a visit. According to the …

HI, I'M BARRY SCOTT!

NOTHING REMOVES STUBBORN SATAN MANIFESTATIONS LIKE CILIT BANG GRIME N LIME!

[LinkOfHyrule]

BANG!

AND THE SIN IS GONE!

[Peter Jones 2]

Why don't they

just turn the tile upside down?

It's not mold or fungus or somesuch, it's just the pattern of the tile. Flip it over and you likely won't recognise a face in it.

Now if the face stays the same way, THAT'S the devil at work...

[Anonymous Coward]

"flip it over"

I've had a look a the picture. Upside down it looks like a hooded midget with enormous testicles.

Damn you Rorschach.

I would sell the tiles on ebay to anybody who dares to pick it up.

I am sure some satanic cult would appreciate it.

After the floor tiles are out, take the opportunity and the earned money to install an underfloor heating.

Afterwards the bathroom should be fine.

[Graham Bartlett]

Nothing can move it?

Well, no - it's part of the pattern on the tile, you Hungarian muppet. A hammer and a new tile would fix the problem nicely.

[JasonW]

So retiling isn't the obvious solution then?

I guess that wouldn't garner a story in the Sun though.

[hplasm]

Disappointed...

I always imagined Beelzebub to be bigger...

[KjetilS]

Simples

Replace the tile and put more insulation into the walls and ceiling

[Anonymous Coward]

I agree

Yeah I agree 100%, but some people have a desperate need to crave attention and get there 15 mins. I'm sure there is more to this than meets eye, sounds like a scam to get the local housing authority to move them from some drafty old place to a nice new modern one with all the mod-cons!

Quite a few stories of polter-ghoosties and possesion turn out to be scams for the family to be moved from horrible neighbours, dodgy electrics, drafts, etc.

[Bluenose]

Don't panic.....

the Pope has arrived and is on his way

[LinkOfHyrule]

What a load of tosh!

Yeah yeah, and I can see Steve Jobs throwing ninja stars in my bathroom tiles! Pull the other one!

[TeeCee]

That's not Satan!

Odd, drawn-looking face in *red* bathroom tiles = Manifestation of Satan.

Odd, drawn-looking face in *blue* bathroom tiles = Some dead Na'vi bloke.

Get yer ficticious characters straight FFS!

[Elmer Phud]

It's about time!

That Jesus bloke has been far to prolific with guest appearances in fruit, veg, toast and just aout everything else.

Nice to see someone else getting some publicity for once.

[mut_tley]

Cold Shower?

Here's an idea, why don't you chip the tile off and replace it with one that doesn't have a slightly blurry pattern resembling a goat?

[Just Thinking]

The room is always cold?

Isn't that ghosts?

[Martin Milan]

the same thought occured to me...

... I mean it's not like Satan is exactly known for having heating problems...

Quite the opposite.

Maybe Scumspawn's been fiddling with dials again?

(Old Harry's Game reference for the uninitiated...)

[The Beer Monster]

Laszlo said: "We need some help from God...

... or from the spirit world or we're going to seal up the room forever."

Really? God's a tiler?

He must be really brassed of that his son got involved with carpenters...

[Anonymous Coward]

@The Beer Monster

Classic.

[mmiied]

@The Beer Monster

farther son and holy ghost the untimate DIY team (well they did build the world in 7 days(net))

[Elmer Phud]

cowboys

Well, they did a pretty shit job of it

Still loads of settlement cracks, the heating system is all over the place and the air-con has a tendency to produce blasts of air now and then. Also, the damp proofing needs sorting out.

There are also issues with some scrotes chucking rocks but apart form that the neighbours have been quiet so far.

Anyway, it wasn't 7 days - they knocked it out quick and buggered off down the pub.

[George Nacht]

Fairly unimpressive...

...as far as Beezlebubb goes. But the blue tile on the lower edge, just next to the plastic box of (presumably) tile cleaner could easily pass as a Lolcat ! Am I the only one to see it?

As for the freezing bathroom....well, there is a common belief that Satan generally makes it´s surroundings warmer, not the opposite.

[Cameron Colley]

I see that too.

Tile cat is watching you shower?

[Anonymous Coward]

and

'The Lolcat Bible Project' starts to make sense.

Genesis 1:1 Oh hai. In teh beginnin Ceiling Cat maded teh skiez An da Urfs, but he did not eated dem.

[amanfromearth]

The dark lord is losing his power..

.. if all he can do now is make Beelzebub(tm) tiles.

[Elmer Phud]

wait for it . . .

With the JayCee stuff they tend to come in bunches - you get one report and there's another one along soon after.

Expect some more demonic apparitions appearing in various shitty newspapers near you real soon.

[Ally J]

It's not Old Nick

It's an upside-down picture of Darth Vader.

"Devil manifests in Hungarian bathroom"

"I was naked coming out of the shower and I could suddenly see his eyes staring into me. I just screamed and ran."

the Japanese got it right.... the devil is a perverted peeping tom.

[Matt Bryant]

RE: "Devil manifests in Hungarian bathroom"

Sorry, but having seen the pic of the husband, I'm not holding out much hope for his missus being the twin of Eva Herzigova. Personally, I always thought the Devil would have a bit more taste. After all, if I could pick and choose any shower to spy on, certain young Hollywood actresses would be getting a visit long before the wife of some short, chubby, middle-aged Czech DIYer.

[Peter Storm]

Damn you El Reg!

I actually did an office lol reading these comments.

I got some funny looks, but what the hell, I'm used to that.

[Mike Brown]

thats not the devil

looks more like bruce forsyth.

[Chris Miller]

Nah

The toupee is far too realistic. Anyway, Brucie is the spawn of Satan - how else do you account for him still being paid by the BBC at the age of 187?

[Jonathan 10]

Well...

That is just as scary to be fair...

[Anonymous Coward]

Brucey Bonus

Nice to see you....

[Jimmy 1]

I spy.

Looks more like an image of that lovable old rascal Rupert Murdoch. But the Sun's proprietor wouldn't be spying on peoples intimate moments, would he?

[George 20]

when i'm naked

When I am naked I always get the feeling that someone is looking at me, I mean I'm a sexy beast.

[Tim #3]

yes

absoultely irresistible to many, and you attract men in uniform so often too. So, how have the first couple of days of your sentence been?

[P.Nutt]

Yeah Right

Why would Beezlebubb/ Auld Nick/ The Prince of Darkness/ Peter Mandleson appear in a bathroom to watch a 50 year old Turkish woman take a shower <that would scare even the devil I am sure>. In the devils shoes I can think of thousands of places I would rather make an appearance.

[Martin 19]

Spooky bathroom

"The room is always ice cold no matter how high we turn the heating up and we've just stopped using it because it's too spooky."

A COLD BATHROOM? How queer.

I bet there was a spooky ethereal fog when you came out of the shower too, and a ghostly noise when you put the extractor fan on to clear the fog...

[Anonymous Coward]

and

Now we know where he is the rest of the world can get on with fornication, etc without worry.

After all, he's just an angel that was chucked out of heaven - he's not omnipresent like God is he?

[as2003]

What makes them so certain?

Why is it always Jesus, Satan or the Virgin Mary? And not Dave from down the road? Or one of the other 6 billion people on this planet?

[Ginolard]

Bad pun alert

The Devil Rides Grout?

[David Barrett]

Wow

Im grinning like a fool now.

Well done!

[Vladimir Plouzhnikov]

Actually...

He looks more like Abraham Lincoln to me

[WonkoTheSane]

Looks more like

Jon Pertwee

[Eric Wilner]

Naw, it's...

...definitely G'Kar.

[The Indomitable Gall]

My curtains.

There's an old sailor in my curtains dancing to Saturday Night Fever.

Slightly less newsworthy than Satan or Jesus, but no less real....

[Anonymous Coward]

Well...

Someone did something pretty Evil in my Bathroom this morning, but I don't think Satan had much to do with it!

[Anonymous Coward]

As ever...

... the devil really is in the detail.

@Ginolard

New laptop, please.

Thank you.

That's not Satan

That's an image of Herodotus.

[Professor Tinklepants]

That's not Satan....

.....it looks more like a mummified Tom Baker ca. 1975!

[Al fazed]

exponentially

Won't this kipper of Beelzeebub be reproduced on every tile in their bathroom ?

Also in every bathroom in Budapest, nay Hungary, or even da da da daaa ... the whole world !

My God, he's actually taking over the system via B&Q and the bathroom suite 0day vulnerability.

Are they available on eBay ?

Well, they could be useful, like if you didn't your wife ! For an art exhibition.

They must be worth a mint by now !

He could sell the tiles on eBay and then buy a new house with the proceeds !

ALF

[Beelzeebub]

@Al fazed

Please don't take my name in vain, for God's sake!

Actually, I don't exist and neither does He.

[Macmanpro]

Surprised

I'm really surprised at The Sun printing such rubbish... oh wait hang sorry what am I talking about this is exactly the sort of rubbish they print!

[ramblog]

Look.. there's Wolverine...

a snarling Wolfman in the blue tile diagonally below to the right..

And do i see Gollum(s) in the blue tile... above to the right and below to the left as well? Both seem to be in the process of throwing up - presumably from the sight of laszlo coming out of the shower.

[Anonymous Coward]

actually....

it's Jimmy Hill

[HFoster]

Not over-burdoned with schooling

The human brain makes patterns out of its input, even if they do not exist. Someone should tell these fools that before they keel over dead at the site of their own shadows.

[brain_flakes]

Is it just me

Or does it look more like American author Samuel Langhorne Clemens aka. Mark Twain ?

[pip25]

Very interesting...

...that El Reg bothers to publish Hungarian stories which even the Hungarian news sources themselves did not bother with. :/ (Yes, I'm Hungarian.)

[David 45]

What the devil?

Satan makes an appearance in MY bathroom after imbibing a few pints and a curry the previous night!

[Anonymous Coward]

According to my wife

and thanks to irritable bowel syndrom, the devil lives in my ass.

[Graham Bartlett]

@Ginolard

Awesome - I salute you, sir!

[Christopher E. Stith]

Am I the only one...

Am I the only one who thought it looked more like Keith Richards than like the devil?
