Who wears Lynx?......

[TillieTrotter]

My 11 and 13 year old boys wear it. They smell delicious I'll have you know.

Told you, chicks dig it.

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...

even I laugh about it now - but some of the looks I was getting...

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?

[woofmarkthedog]

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)

W**F

"Neanderthal Man" was a personal favourite in my spotty youth - I practically bathed in the stuff. It was also good for the spots (although it did sting) and kept mosquitos away.

[Brendan]

I do keep some Old Spice handy for those rare occasions when I get the old safety razor, bowl and brush out and go ?clean shaven?. The sting on freshly scraped skin is fantastic.

That and chicks dig it.

Edited because I realy, realy can't spell today.
