From your 'tips on colds'

Wear gloves in public and on public transport. Don't use money - use your cards. And if you smell nitrous oxide on anyone's breath, hold you own breath and turn away to breathe - their nose is making this gas to kill bugs they already have and they are infectious. Nitrous oxide smells 'cold' and metallic. Zazen (tip 1) (who will forevermore be known by MNHQ as Jack Bauer)

I'm sure Zazen is as lovely as me, but that's cold.

LOLOL
I would have thought you had better things to do with your time than worry about tip of the day right now, Jack.
Don't you have some self-suturing to do and teeth to repair?! Oh yes, and an escape/complete disappearance to plan!

how do you recognise the smell of nitrous oxide???

Garlic I can recognise. Yesterday's currry. onions. red wine.. nitrous oxide? no.

theyoungvisiter · 07/06/2010 09:41

Erm, I'm not sure if I've already got on my pedant stool about this but it's NITRIC oxide that your body produces. Totally different substance with a totally different smell.

Lol at the body producing nitrous oxide.

That's laughing gas isn't it? If that were the case we would all be going round inhaling other people's breath and than howling with laughter and toppling over.

ShowOfHands · 07/06/2010 09:50

If they smell of nitrous oxide, ask them to flipping well share. N2O I think, laughing gas. NO, nitric oxide. I may be wrong though. School's a distant memory.

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/06/2010 09:50

What in the name of god does nitric oxide smell like anyway?

I sat at the back pissing around in GCSE chemsistry so can;t remember.

wtf is a pedant stool?

LordPanofthePeaks · 07/06/2010 11:36

a pedant stool is a thing of myth. Pendants are so tight-arsed they would lever let anything go.

theyoungvisiter · 07/06/2010 12:26

rofl lord pan!!

Olivia, in my head, a pedant stool is like a soapbox only less shouty.
