purple booted off this thread for sniffing old men? Pah, no way! Is that as weird as you get?? I'd say it was standard behaviour (well, this threads standard!)

Have I mentioned how much I love this thread?!

Sniffing old men in supermarkets absolutely fine purple, licking them not so much.

dontcallmelen · 02/08/2018 21:54

My DF wore old spice, have been known to follow elderly men around the supermarket, trying too catch a whiff.

dontcallmelen · 02/08/2018 21:54

Don’t lick them though, promise.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 02/08/2018 21:55

As we're sniffing old men Confused, does anyone else really miss the smell of pipe tobacco? My lovely grandpa smoked a pipe and I just loved how he smelled, all sweet and tweedy.

dontcallmelen · 02/08/2018 21:57

Oooh snowball with a glacé cherry, now that’s my kind of party & pretty coloured cigarettes (died & gone to heaven)

kirta · 02/08/2018 21:57

Yes imaginary! Pipe smoke and brylcreem!

dontcallmelen · 02/08/2018 21:58

Yy pipe tobacco & tweedy smell & they always had a moustache.

kirta · 02/08/2018 22:00

Oh gosh! I miss my Grandad! Wore a shirt and tie whenever he left the house!

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 02/08/2018 22:06

It's wonderful how these olfactory memories linger - I thought mine had been permanently expunged by Lynx Africa (I'm looking at you, DS2)

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 02/08/2018 22:07

kirta did yours wear his third best suit to do the gardening?

dontcallmelen · 02/08/2018 22:08

@Kirta my DF was the same, I can’t ever remember seeing him in a tshirt or my dm in jeans.

PurpleNailVarnish · 02/08/2018 22:18

I'm not in the habit of licking random old men yet though as the years tick by who knows what delights old age has in store for me?

derxa · 02/08/2018 22:22

No one ever listens to my wee farming stories

dontcallmelen · 02/08/2018 22:23

I think we might get arrested if we start licking random elderly people I’m sure it’s probably an offence, but I’m game if you are Purple, obviously only the ones that smell of old spice/brut/pipe tobacco.

dontcallmelen · 02/08/2018 22:24

Aww Dexra, I’m all ears even though I live in deepest darkest Saaf London.

derxa · 02/08/2018 22:27

Grin I like the sound of deepest darkest Saaf London Do you have any sheep there?

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 02/08/2018 22:29

Crack on dexra but just to warn you I’m a tad squeamish so if you hear a thump I may have fainted...

khaleesi71 · 02/08/2018 22:29

I'm a thread killer too and so glad to have found my tribe Grin

kirta · 02/08/2018 22:32

dextra I love a wee farming story!
khaleesi welcome!

dontcallmelen · 02/08/2018 22:34

I don’t think so not just wandering around, think might some at Crystal Palace Park petting zoo😄

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 02/08/2018 22:34

Can I take your coat?

dontcallmelen · 02/08/2018 22:34

Khalessi welcome

dontcallmelen · 02/08/2018 22:37

We have snowballs, party 7 &. butterscotch angel delight & a stereogram playing all the tunes.

khaleesi71 · 02/08/2018 22:39

Is this a general reminisce or is everyone clearing out their cupboards ready for a Brexit style top up of 25 tins of beans and 500 bottles of zoflora (lavender)? I've found a fry's Turkish delight and a tin of evap milk Grin
