PMSL at this thread. Laughed so much I nearly choked from coughing!! Have a really bad hack at the mo.
Smoggie, I can't believe you put your glasses in a cupboard that smells like spunk!!!

LRWG · 15/02/2007 22:37

Smoggie - we have one of those cupboards too! It's the one the plates, cups, glasses etc are kept in. DH and I keep hoping no-one else notices the smell. The only thing we can think of is that it's something to do with dishwasher tablet residue - dunno why - do you have a dishwasher?

LRWG · 15/02/2007 22:38

The scary thing is, the cupboard at my old office where the china was kept smelt just the same!

SaucyMoo · 15/02/2007 22:39

im still in shock over the fact that ive never noticed there being a smell!!!!

I'm in the bleach camp

paulaplumpbottom · 15/02/2007 22:43

Surely the smell and taste changes with what he eats.

LRWG · 15/02/2007 22:44

Caligula - maybe that's why I associate it with dishwasher tablet smell?

Winestein · 15/02/2007 22:45

crumbs, what bleach do people use? I need to know as I need to know never to buy it!

SaucyMoo · 15/02/2007 22:45

Yeh sometimes its less salty and sometimes more-tend not to delve down there too long

Does that mean that you could 'junk out' on semen?
Say for instance if dp had macdonalds or pizza hut?lol.

SaucyMoo · 15/02/2007 22:46

The bush it smells of is called the Wayfarers Tree and it really does smell like semen IMO.

Apparently you can change the taste (and presumably smell) of semen by altering diet. Melon is supposed to be good for making it taste nicer. Curry isn't..

poppiesinaline · 16/02/2007 13:50

feed DH less curry and more melon....

Twinkie1 · 16/02/2007 13:53

Thought waters smelt ike semen when they broke - and I hadn;t had sex for ages so couldn;t be anything hanging around!!

Bucketsofdynomite · 16/02/2007 14:09

I remember my old flatmate and I ROFLing at the smell of melted brie on toast - try it and see, it's uncanny!
It's a very useful tip not to go down on someone who's had chilli for lunch.

poppiesinaline · 16/02/2007 14:14

just to see if DH smells 'normal'

Incodnito · 16/02/2007 14:17

Pineapple makes it smell and taste sweet.

Whoever said it smells like sprouts should maybe get her partner checke out as it really shouldnt smell that bad.

NbgsYellowFeathers · 16/02/2007 14:20

Farking "gis cupboard"

ROFLOL
Brilliant!

I think the stuff smells vile. It makes me gip.

zephyrcat · 16/02/2007 14:22

'there is a pollen type smell of a certain bush which is very similar i remember walking past a smelly bush once and gagging (no really)'

I thought I was the only person in the world who had noticed this (and also feel queasy when I walk past one!!) I've never told anyone for fear of them thinking I was mad!!!

Bananaknickers · 16/02/2007 14:26

When I drive past our local swimming pool in summer with the windows down I get a familiar wif. Bleach camp here. We could start up a whole new era of scrtch and sniff Tee shirts

foxinsocks · 16/02/2007 14:28

I'm so glad I know the name of that bush now (thanks OrmIrian).

I actually change my route to school to avoid that bush in the spring/summer - the smell is vile and really makes me gag!

norbertsmum · 17/02/2007 19:29

I love you all! I'm sat here in tears and this has just made me lol! I'm defo with the bleachy babes on this one! And it tastes like salty phlem and definately not ambrosia rice pud!

OttergavebirthonValentines · 17/02/2007 19:32
