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)

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
