Rotting meat !!!

I used to work in a mortuary, so I came across some horrendous odours ! Think of a body that's been dead for a few weeks, and falls apart when you move it - absolutely horrific ! I've seen bodies so badly decomposed that they weren't much more than a stain on the ground..............

Death has its own distinct odour, and you never forget it, but you do get used to it. What you've experienced is a kind of "nasal image", and other smells will trigger the memory, for a while - it goes away, in time.

The trick with the Vick works better if you put it just inside your nostrils - not too far up, and don't leave it too long, or it can irritate your skin !

Put the vic on your ball sack and it  will take your mind of the smell 100% mate ..

The thing about this was the impact shock power that it had on both of us. Is wasn't a "Blimey, that was a bit gamey" sort of thing, it was a complete auto reaction like getting an electric shock or something. Both of us have had dealings with gutting animals but rotten slurry was in a different league.  To me it was sort of like a mix of ammonia, old copper coins, Branston pickle and shite. Whatever It bowled us over. The aftermath was the lingering sensation in the mouth and nose.
