Bloody metrosexuals, Castrol R is the smell for real men.
Makes you wonder why women use floral perfumes to attract men logically it should be freshly soaped leather upholstery with just a hint of mohair and musk or for the sporty types Castrol R and hot steel and rubber ( I used to spend time in the pits ). Derek

Well, he's one of the "out" gay MPs, but OTOH he used to own a very tatty S2
109, so there's no telling where that is on the scale of metrosexuality. There was an article about him in one of the mags a few years ago, where he expressed complete devotion to the vehicle (carried all his materials for a house project in France IIRC), but was considering selling as it needed a full rebuild. Dunno whether he still has it.
He was also a war correspondent for a while, not something to be taken lightly.
At the end of the day, I was just cracking a gag about Castrol R being a real man's oil, I don't think I want to go into the ins and outs of Matthew Paris's city/country credentials!

Oh sure, and I don't take him lightly either. I have the greatest of respect for his courage in being one of the first "out" MPs, at a time when it must have been a tough thing to do, especially in the Conservative Party. Plus he's a sane commentator on politics, he seems a really nice guy, and he loves Land Rovers. It was his comment on men wearing EP90 under the armpits that had me chuckling. I sometimes do this, though in my case it's always accidental.
I'll be replacing the front differential on the pinzgauer over the coming month or so, I'm expecting to get a whole coating of the stuff in the process!

Splash it on all ovah!
Tease...
My old Dad was in the motor trade for about 50 years and he used to buy the odd retired Austin Sheerline off his pals in in the " hatches matches and dispatches" trade I remember we had at least 5 that aroma with Kensitas or Romeo and Juliet (when flush) smoke brings back fond memories
Worth noting that Mr Parris is also Gay. I'm surprised he's aware of what women should smell of.

Perhaps that counts as "theoretical" knowledge - stuff you know but never use. :-)
One of my ex's favourite smells was EP90, and she too thought it should be made into a perfume. (And for all you lonely men out there, no, she isn't available).
Why not continue supporting the institutionalised politically manipulated stereotypes that act to further the oppression of individual freedom and collective harmony, Alex?
;-)
Heh, in the same sentence too!
Hehe. As a member of the oppressed minority in question, I'm entitled to be stereotypical.....
Oh, for the record, I do find the scent of EP90 quite alluring. However, i'd not want my boyfriends to smell of it every day.
