The bomb shelter thread.

Apologies. I've been foraging and just catching up. Found some wild mushrooms- thought we could do something with them. Tried one on the way here.Seemed OK I haven't died and had a lovely chat with a giant pink elephant who appeared from nowhere.

Anyway Lynx - the smell of desperate teenager. My own desperate teenager fragrance was Loulou or Poison. Probably a good repellent nowadays. Could knock out a buffalo at twenty paces.

I used to spray Lynx oriental on my PE kit because I would forget to take it home to wash. The stale sweat and sweet deodorant didn't mix well, probably made the smell worse, but I am pretty certain I wasn't the only one who was doing it. Our games teacher should have been given breathing apparatus for going in that changing room.

Knocking out a buffalo at twenty paces and repelling a teenage boy are totally different things though.

Love this.I went to an all girls convent. The teacher who had us after PE would march into the classroom, shout very dramatically "Girls open those windows!" and give us a lecture on personal hygiene and the appropriate use of deodorant. At least you tried...

I don't know if anyone else has this, but there are very particular smells that transport my memory to a certain time and place. Freshly cut grass is my grandad's garden when I was about eight. Lynx oriental and I'm an awkward 13 year old trying to overcome the stench of my games kit.

Perhaps it's a universal thing, but the toilets where I teach now smell exactly the same as my old school toilets, it takes me back every time I am there.

Speaking of toilets, did we get the shelter one fixed?

It truly does. In my own strictly non-scientific research I sprayed myself liberally in lynx, walked past a couple of known neighbourhood wrong uns, and suddenly they wanted to be my friend.

Offered me sweets and a puppy viewing. Like idiots to a conspiracy theory.
 

lol Happy to report back from Today's Football that @Joey66 appears to be on the mend, hoping he'll join us in here soon to confirm it himself.

Loulou and Poison, the smell of the Cabin Club, along with Kuoros and Paco Rabanne for the lads lol

Ps - My particular favourite perfume of that era, was and still is Samsara.

It brings back very fond memories of many nights spent in the Royal`s nursing accommodation, Cedar House, aka Seedy House.

Oh my lord, some of the stuff that went on in there lol
