Personal HygieneThere comes a point at which your hygiene becomes less your problem and more everyone else's:
My old school nurse never seemed to wash - instead she wrapped herself in crepe bandages from the first aid kits. The smell was beyond pungent. If you got ill at school, it was better to suffer than try and explain symptoms whilst only breathing out.
When she was eventually 'let go',they had to strip the wallpaper in her office to get rid of the lingering odour.
How scuzzy have you got? Or, failing that, how bad have people you know got?

MaplinWhether to go to Maplins is always an agonising decision. You know you will receive professional advice by people who understand their products, but that you will feel sick by the end of it.
The last time I went there to return a faulty microphone, I placed my receipt on the counter. The assistant was bleeding heavily from two of his fingers, but he continued to bite the remaining ones. While he was talking, he was dripping from the end of his nose. So after a few seconds the receipt was covered with blood and snot, like something found on a car crash victim. He then placed the receipt back in my hand and told me to go to the other till. I was physically retching but he seemed completely unperturbed.
Why don't geeks WASH? Do they think it will rinse away their super powers? You are not an avatar on second life! You are a person, and you stink!
Edit: In the Holborn branch a GIRL recently started working there. The difference is spectacular; it smells like an explosion in a Lynx factory.
An olfactory assault of Slazenger Sport.
