They're all down in Bournemouth and the New Forest making my usual 15 minute drive to work a 45 minute nightmare!0 -
C'mon lj.... you know we know now.
IIRC you had an assumption but were never sure...LJ... i'd be careful you'll be getting all the married ones on your case looking for one of those 'internet' romances and looking to exchanging some of those saucy PMs...
Whaddya think I come here for? Eloquent debate?;)Mmmmmmmm ??
He's just jealous treliac, no-one PM's him I suspect (except me saying I'm not interested...:D)It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
The seaside doesn't smell like it did when I was a youngster, the aroma of salt, cockles etc seemed unique, now the smell is just like anywhere else, or maybe it is just my imagination.
Have to disagree, it was the first thing I noticed opening the car door. Though I could feel that it wasn't as strong, it is definitely still there...
(Possibly down to pollution, or alternatively a faulty memory)It's weird how certain smells conjure up your life. Nothing else works quite the same way.
New mown grass that's always home for me. Sawdust brings back my Da and musty auld books my grandfather. The smell of horses always makes me feel like a child again.
I love the smell of the sea, you drag it into your lungs and when you let it go you just feel different. More alive.
I have never eaten cockles though and dont intend to start.
One thing does I feel wageslave - music. How music can take you back, remind you of a loved one, or a particular moment, or feeling.
Howcome you can remember the words to a song, when you haven't heard that song for 20+ years?When i think of Blackpool i always remember that's where i was when Elvis died.

Oh that is so true.
I had forgotten.
Anything Tom Jones reminds me of my Mother.
My Ma isn't a smell, she is a sound:TRetail is the only therapy that works0
