Posted: 13:26 - 10 Apr 2020 Post subject: The smelltrack to your life |
|
|
I was in the chemist trying to find some reasonably-priced ibuprofen and some 5HTP (Holland and Barrett being non-essential shopping) and found myself queuing amongst the smellies aisle.
So on the spur of the moment I bought this.
And now I smell fantastically like the 1970s
Transported back to 1975 , the beach, those boys, the cars, and I'm Not In Love on the radio.
I'm half tempted to go back and buy some Old Spice
There was another one, can't remember what it was called but I know it was also around back then.
Aside from that, my house smells of pasta fagioli : (beans, tomato, red salmon and garlic), Amber incense, weed and "Jammy Red Roo" wine.
All is well on planet hellkat today.
How's your day smelling?

There was one called Hai Karate, it was supposed to make women leap on you from all directions so you needed Karate to fight them off.,
My brother got some for christmas but mainly used it to hide smelly dog bed odours. Not a euphemism. |

Today I mostly smell epoxy resin because I'm fixing fairings and making a mould for an exhaust heat shield.
I do like the smell of hot 2-stroke oil and curing engine paint though. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Whenever I smell Charlie (snigger) I’m transported back to the 1970’s at my girls school. We doused ourselves in it and walked from class to class in a Charlie-infused haze.
Edit: OMG this thread has triggered a memory of an aftershave called Agua Brava. Who remembers that? It was woody and leathery just like my uncle who used to stink our house out when he visited. It must have been alluring because he had loads of girlfriends, despite his woody leatheryness ____________________ Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right |

But the scary thing is how I can remember all this shit from 40-50 years ago but can't remember what I had for my tea last night:

I was bought a Denim gift pack for chrimbo back in the 70s. I didn't start shaving until 5 or 6 years later. It lasted until the early 90s, as I only wore it on dates.

Weed, behind a stack of speakers, dark corner.
I seem to remember the really sticky floor was in front of the bar at the Green Gate (Oscar's)? Teenagers spilling snakebite with blackcurrant It was ok if you just walked across it, but if you stood there for any length of time, it was like someone had glued your feet in place, an audible peeling sound when you moved off.

Aviation fuel on the pan in Germany, on a hot summer day. Sitting on the grass waiting for a cab to come in for a rotors-running refuel, cold can of Coke in hand, overalls stripped to the waist; visiting F16s with their high-pitched whine taxying past; Harriers of 3 and 4 sqns carrying out hover tests, and the heavy "whop-whop" of Chinooks from 18sqn across the field ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years, 16 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
