Wan't some help please.
Some time back, an ex Booty mentioned a subject on here that is of interest to me.
He told of a product made by Avon, that although not designed for it, actually repelled insects like Gnats and mosquitoes.
He said it was widely used by the boot necks around Faslane and Holy Lock.
Anyone got a name for the stuff as I would be grateful to learn it and if it is still available.
If not anything else recommended?
Cheers
Rummy.
When I was a child I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child.
When I became a man I joined Rum Ration, it was a natural progression.
But with swearing.

It's called Skin So Soft Rumrat, and it's made by Avon. It works a treat, used it on a course on Salisbury Plain in blistering heat where the midges moved in swarms so well organised I swear they were part of a criminal syndicate.

Submariners seldom cheat, and NEVER lie!
Why is it acceptable to cry at a wedding but not to laugh at a funeral?
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and fitness!

The Mountain flavoured one is the best.
Give a man a fish and he'll feed his family for a day,
teach a man to fish and he'll sit round on a boat all day drinking beer.

So we have a bloke with skin like a crocodiles number ones, mincing around smelling like a tarts handbag, kin poof.
Sent from my trimphone using one finger and shouting

Now usually I don't feel sorry for blokes who self inflict injury. However the one little droll remark you made does not in my opinion warrant what she said she would do to you if she got hold of you.
Now after she was drummed out of the SS. for extreme brutality, she gave lectures to the Taliban and Idi Amin on methods of terrorism within the community.
Her latest book "Flaying and its place in humour" is a best seller in Saudi Arabia.
Fuck your luck you poor bastard.
You could always hide where the Midges breed.
To everyone else who replied, Thank You.
Rummers.

Bliss.
It kind of makes me think that because you are still around, God really is not true.
I'm so upset (being sensitive)
