I don’t know if you were joking but it may well be the case that it was staged somehow. - perhaps a tame one which is fed regularly by the boat people? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,269 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Always bought dad Old Spice for Christmas. He loved it but usually smelled as though he'd bathed in the stuff! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 I used to use Brut but I no longer need to make myself desirable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,269 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 The day started with the three-yearly mammogram! Bad enough but I've had a very painful left shoulder for the last two weeks after, presumably, pulling a muscle gardening. So, I didn't want to hear, "I'm just going to put your arm up here.....!". Arrrrrgggggghhhhhh! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,269 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 What's desirable about Brut? Awful stuff. Can't say I'm over keen on any of them but, as always, it depends who's wearing it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Judging by Ben's experience today, Bulwell seems to be some kind of time-warp where no-one gets older and the past is always there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Brut. So that’s where I went wrong! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats certainly true cliff ton in my case...........I've lived and lodged all over our pleasant land....but never found anywhere else like it............probably because all my larger family and friends originate there...... Â Â Â Â Â Â Â It still holds surprises for me in the people i ''Bump into''....and their sense of humour is unique........even most of the old buildings are still there......which cause many lovely memories..of work and play....... Â Â Â Â Â Â Me and my favourite cousin are now the oldest in our bloodline........she still lives in Bulwell..........and over coffee a few weeks ago both said we want to finish up in Bulwell cemetery.......in about 50 years time......... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 So what's wrong with Brut ? Its quite a palatable drink with petit fours. Or a cheese and onion roll. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mess 609 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Jill, My dad always splashed on the Old Spice at Christmas. Certainly one of those aromas that takes me back. Avon's Blue Blazer and Occur do the same for me. Put on the right music and perfume/aftershave, close your eyes and  it's the nearest thing you'll get to a time machine. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,269 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yes, Mess, that's true. At too concentrated a strength, Old Spice can literally take your breath away and the same goes for Avon's Occur! In the late 60s, my sister was an Avon lady for a couple of years. Occur was Avon's equivalent of Marmite. People either loved it or detested it! It's not one of my favourites.  Mum used to wear Helena Rubinstein's Apple Blossom, which is very pleasant. I was a fan of Mary Quant's Havoc which had a very distinctive aroma. No longer produced. Better than carbolic soap! Smells of school! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,380 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 My daughter bought me Old Spice a few years ago, it was so rank I think it's fake, it's still in the cupboard. Any perfume or fragrance used in excess is a no, no, yet some seem oblivious to the noxious cloud around them. Perfume should be subtle, not a punch between the eyes. Â Back in the day I had Aramis and Givenchy, still in the cabinet, but almost never wear it now. I think like many fashions wearing aftershave has had its day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
