Yes, that is a bit of basic info that every young person should be made aware of as soon as they are old enough to use matches!Grin

If I say it was DS1 you won't believe me now, will you, soupy Grin

oh yes it works a treat

When I lived in a shared house I used that trick and the stupid flatmate said 'why is there a strong smell of burning in the bathroom?' Doh!

gosh, you learn something new everyday!

CountessDracula · 30/03/2006 11:54

it's not the match really but the smoke that it produces when you blow it out

:o We have an industrial sized box of matches in the bathroom (for DH, you understand). I have to remember to tidy it away when we have guests.

If I did that after DP has "been" it'd blow the house up as soon as I struck the match Grin

SoupDragon · 30/03/2006 12:06

:o

I assumed it burnt off the gas, thus eliminating the smell.

Yes, how does this work? I thought it burnt off the gas too. Will it work for other smells?? (she said vaguely)

Fio, it's the striking of the match that matters, the phosphorus, rather than burning the wood. As explained to me by DH.

Because incense smells foul.

When I see a box of matches in someone's bathroom I presume it is for romantic candlelit baths...now I know the truth Grin

CountessDracula · 30/03/2006 12:28

i would rather smell matches burning than a hippy's arse tbh. In fact I would rather bury my head in a pile of elephant poo than smell a hippy's arse.

Ewww fio do you wear patchouli too Shock

(smells like rancid knickers to me)
