Probably the whole island too.
For some reason, this morning everywhere smells of horse shit. I’ve checked my shoes and I don’t think it’s me:rolleyes:
(the rolleyes is meant to be an ‘it wasn’t me’ face)
I probably shouldn’t Pit my town for stinking, but that smell is strong!
Be glad you don’t live in Gary, Indiana. I bet they’d call it perfume there:D
I remember in Worthington, MN, how the whole town was scented by the pig rendering plant. One got used to it, but when the wind was wrong, one wished one lived next to a nice, clean pulp mill.
(Yes, I know how a pulp mill smells.)
It’s so nice to live out here in the boonies of northern Montana, where the most common aroma on the breeze is sweetgrass. 
Have you ever thought about a job with the Isle of Man tourist board, Lobsang?
I quite like the smell of horse shit.
you seem to know a lot about manure, jjimm, like the fact that you can by lion poo to scare off cats!
I didn’t know that
You a poo-expert?
oh, and Lobsang: that’s just the clean, healthy, smell of the country yer smelling. Take a deep longful, you don’t know how blessed you are!
Well I am full of shit, elfje.
sezoo?
i’ll send the boys around to kneecap them.
you poor thing
(gives jjimm a pat on the back)
Well, Lobsang you could always follow the scent, toting a shovel. When you find the source, bring some back to your place and start a nice tomato garden. Horse manure makes WONDERFUL tomatos. That’s one way you could “make lemonade out of that lemon”.
((Lobsang)) You poor thing. You have my sympathy. If you’re not alarming strangers because of paranoia due to a fear of seagull “bombardment”, you are having your olfactory senses assailed. I hope things get better for you.
Why has no one mentioned Slough U.K. yet?
If the wind blows one way it smells of chocolate from the Mars factory, and if it blows the other it smells of the nearby sewage works. The town where I was born, now famous from 'The Office" tv series. People who lived or worked in Slough, fondly remember it, like some old war from which they barely survived.
Yesterday I got the first whiff of Toronto summer … smog exhaust and lake pollution and Og-knows-what else. I’d much prefer a bit of horse shit !
Driving to work, I noticed the area smelled of horse poo. This is odd because it has never smelled of horses before. Generally it smells of cow and people poop (not the best sanitation around there). Gotta say I was intrigued, not something I usually am when offal is concerned.
And with all that smell of horse poop, there’s gotta be ponies somewhere. Get to searchin’!
I just want to say how amusing it was, between 4:12pm and 4.33pm my time, to see a thread called “My town stinks of shite!” with the last poster named cowgirl
Well I could get jjimm to visit.
Actually the manx people would want someone like me working for the tourist board, I’d scare all the "comeover"s away.
You’re gonna have to explain that term for me - at the moment it sounds like the Isle of Man has a major porn problen.
See? All that Manx porn made me unable to spell ‘problem’.
the cumovers are the people who come here to live from England,Scotland,Ireland etc… I am one of the cumovers.
Soon I will be posting “My town stinks of hi-octane fuel” As the TT has started.
Sorry, pal, but “cumovers” sounds even more porn-like.
That was the intention.

Hmm. My school smells like cows from time to time.
I love it!
