I don’t think it’s actually his own scent.

@Catogrande i wouldn't be surprised if Woodsmoke and Leather was @Victor-Meldrew 's scent

He’s given plenty of hints about his age so I’d guess stale biscuits and worthers originals with some underlying aroma of yesterdays piss.

@Kiwiwomble have you googled Gwyneth's candles?

@taniwharugby i think i remember something about them so dont think i will

What the fuck does your appalling taste in whisky have to do with this?

@Victor-Meldrew I’m loving your responses. SO Grumpy !

Applaud your use of euphemism there.

@Victor-Meldrew Ian Dury had some sage advice about candles.

This could go in any number of threads...
We recently bought 100ml of fragrance oil to make some candles as Christmas gifts - sum total of £6.99. It arrived with eight double-sided A4 pages of safety and hazard information to comply with EU regulations.
WTAF?
Is it safety information related to making scented candles or instructions on how to retrieve and reattach your balls?

He wouldn’t like this thread. He always found lots of reasons to be cheerful.

I'm in a Kafkaesque hell.
Jumped online to order my sister, god daughter, and nieces Xmas presents. All NZ websites. Using my NZ debit card. Push payment and it goes to a secure banking page where it sends a code to my NZ phone number. Repeat it again with my credit card. Same outcome.
So, put my NZ sim in my phone turn it on and I don't have enough credit for roaming. Go to add credit, which I usually do at the airport before flying to NZ with no issue, and yep you guessed it I go to the secure banking page where they send a code to my NZ number.
What's annoying as this seems to be fairly recent as I used the same card to order a birthday present for my sister in August with no issue.
Very very grumpy at the moment.

Another well thought out business process then. Still, it's enabled some compliance officer somewhere to tick a box.
Email the CEO and ask him how he/she'd manage in the same circumstances.

Oh damn, I'm not that much of a grumpy old man. I think this is pretty much standard practice these days for many retails/banks. I just used the thread to vent.
Plus, I earn part of my living in compliance so I can't complain too much.

Jeez mate, you're getting soft. Make the fluffybunnies share your pain.
