I seem to remember a brief phase of lynx in early teens as adolescent-boy smell needed nullifying and I thought of lynx as dead-grown-up: one of those "marketed as the grown-up option so that teens trying to be grown-up will buy it"...




...kind-of like FHM/maxim/nuts/zoo: accessible intro to soft porn for teenagers... (well, they're certainly not selling for the standard of their features-writing, are they?)

I think you're reading waaaay too much into this.:-S


***************


I used to wear lynx at school, many years ago, now the smell of it seems to invade my lungs and choke me.


the shower gel is ok though, for something cheap and cheerful after cycling or the gym.


Sean, your comment about a younger rent boy caused a 'lol' or two...

No need to :s at me... do sarcasm and own opinions mean nothing these days? :p

This is a hidden "lynx" back story.....yes we all know it's aimed at the spray it eveywhere "cos i'm goin' on the pull" geezer brigade, well it's cheap and was designed to out shine a haze of Marlborough lights back in the bad ol' days when pubs & cigs had a happy union.......all well and good, I'm sure many a STD comes with the memory of that smell attached......


However there is big and ardent fan of the "Lynx" spray, mainly old,old geezers at the gymn..(David Lloyds) .... in thier 'Autumn years" & with a few quid now, who cloud the changing rooms with the stuff, not a body part is missed......none at all..........but the part that gives me the "shiver" most is the signet rings, the shredded wheat hair & the Lynx.... they kinda go together...a comforting nostalgia & a blast of youth all there in a cheap spray on.......




*......creeps out..... birthday today..... can see the future.now......off to gymn...*

I thought this was more the terrain of the likes of Joop and CK1?

You would think so wouldn't you, but no retired cabbies and diamond geezers from back in the day love a blast of the Lynx, (even it's feline brand name sticks in your head)............"go on to ya' be lucky sunshine" a wink & the flash off a gold tooth.... as they fragrantly trail out the of locker room...




Almost nostalgic.........oh weepy........& I'm a grown man...(honest)

    • I do not know how old you are, but if you are clearly an older person ( please forgive if not the case) I think what these kids did is even more despicable. It seems clear this is not just misguided hijinks.
    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.
