That is possibly the most 'Wellington' thing ever posted on this forum.

I thought it was a bit more Coromandel...

Are you trying to turn me on?

i'll wear the 'Auckland tag on that one. We do tend to have lower concentrations of smelly folk, batshit crazy people and women who wear skirts over trousers. It's a terrible situation we really should address.

The problem with being stinkiness is people are often to polite to tell you you're having a reek. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

By the time you can smell your own stink you're well past your used by date, you sure its not the armpit shaving causing the itching? maybe you should wax :mrgreen:

I have a wife and a very blunt cousin, both of whom would let me know if I needed to change my non-deodorant wearing ways. I think most people who stink do so because they don't shower/change their clothes/clean their teeth. I do all these things.
