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)

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
