Beau Peep Notice Board

You know how if you like things online then you keep seeing more, well I don't know if the whole world has gone crazy for the Bayeux Tapestry or if it is just me.

I am seeing it everywhere, both stories about the embroidery and memes in the style of.

I am currently reading a book were each "scene" is explained, unfortunately by a man with no imagination who doesn't like to either go with popular opinion of make stuff up himself - just the facts - which seem to be we don't know the whole meaning for most of the scenes.

It is very interesting how the fabric has survived and kept its colours all this time.  Anyone popping down to see it in all its glory?

I was right about the pot. Found this online:

Natural Sources:

Marijuana: Certain strains of marijuana produce a strong, skunk-like aroma due to similar terpene profiles. These terpenes mimic the thiols responsible for the skunk’s defensive spray.
Some Vegetables: Vegetables in the Allium family, such as garlic and onions, can emit sulfurous odors, particularly when decaying.
Burning Rubber: The chemical breakdown of rubber releases sulfur compounds that can resemble the skunk scent.
Decaying Organic Matter: Anaerobic decomposition of organic material releases hydrogen sulfide and other sulfurous gases, resulting in an odor similar to a skunk.

Mechanical and Chemical Sources:

Natural Gas Leaks: While natural gas itself is odorless, utilities often add a mercaptan (a thiol-based compound) to it so that leaks can be detected easily. Mercaptans have a pungent, skunk-like odor.
Electrical Problems: Overheated electrical components or faulty wiring can sometimes emit a burning smell containing sulfurous compounds.
Chemical Spills: Certain chemicals, particularly those containing sulfur, can produce odors that are remarkably similar to skunk spray.

I will have to think on it, I think of it more as a pain and a sucking of the air out of the lungs than a particular scent. 

Happy to help Tarqs,

t is a slimy smell that sticks and if you have a headache coming on already, it will single out that part of your brain and burrow in. It puddles on the top of your lungs attempting to choke you with the weight of its odor. Your eyes will sting.

I was at a beach once and thought I smelled skunk but it turned out to be teenagers smoking pot. I think skunk is another slang term for pot?

The original Star Trek was more science fiction than the later next generation episodes, which had omnipotent beings, psychic powers and reality manipulation. At least the original, even if it could not give a technological answer, presumed there was one. Star Wars is more science fantasy with the force.

The original? You mean the one with the Tribbles and the alien rock?
