i was playing with my niece recently and all of a sudden she needed her nappies changed. wow, how can something so small and cute create something so bad. :laughing: :nauseated_face:

The damn pushfit outflow pipe under the kitchen sink got knocked the other day (probably by me) and when I emptied the washing up bowl it all evacuated straight out into the under-sink cupboard. FUCK. THAT. Take regular washing bowl water and add it to u-bend water and buerrrke, first thing in the morning too.

Fixed it and cleaned it before anyone else noticed though because I’m a pure hero (I didn’t want a kitchen full of the smell of canal decay)

That weird smell that comes from shrubs when you walk past. Reckon its dead birds or squirrels because it smells like what death is described as in books (sweetly rotten, due to the chemical changes a corpse endures)

Bairn 2 is on special formula and it reeks going in but coming out it actually makes me boak. Nearly spewed on her the other day.

Not recent - but when you go in the fruit bat room at the zoo

They are stinky little bastards and they like it hot and steamy with a load of past it’s best fruit about

Nothing against them though

Never smelled anything like the smell of the toilets at school when there was some sort of plumbing issue one time. Wasn’t just your standard sewage smell, it was like sewage that had been fermenting for a hundred years before being unleashed on the world. One of those where the smell was so bad that you were actually scared incase you accidentally breathed your nose slightly walking past, as it was enough to make you vomit on the spot.

Bought some dried pheasant strips from the doggy deli and they’re absolutely stinking the kitchen out.

He won’t be having them again.

Never buy the euphemistically title bulls pizzle, they smell exactly like dried cow dicks which is what they are

both of those things apparently also contribute to the smells of piss, cum and BV, none of which smell as bad as death but they do give you an idea of the kind of sickly sweet yet foul ballpark

Sure its not what I mentioned upthread…flowering currant? So pretty but so gross a smell.

I can smell them even when not in flower but took me years to identify exactly which bush it came from, now it’s in bloom its easy to identify as the culprit

Is that the one with the weird furry leaves? Spring is funny like this because there’s loads of stuff that smells amazing, but also loads of flowers that just reek and are horrible.

Also, on plant smells, this is really specific but it’s been bugging me for years - I went to Austin in Texas for SXSW a couple of times back in the day, and there was an incredible heavy floral smell that was all over the place while I was there both times (not skunk before any wags get in) which I’ve never been able to identify. Does anyone know what it might be?

Basically, what does Texas smell of

Its usually a shrub or hedge or a bush, different types of plants so that’s why I reckon something died in there, havent seen that flower before, will look out for it!
