Two darts stars have kicked up a stink by accusing each other of farting on stage and creating a “rotten” smell during a Grand Slam clash in Wolverhampton, UK. Scotland’s Gary Anderson and Dutchman Wesley Harms have each blamed the other for being behind the noxious air on stage as they met in the Grand Slam of Darts second round. Anderson ran out a 10-2 winner, but all the talk after the match was about the odour near the oche. “It’ll take me two nights to lose this smell from my nose,” Harms told Dutch TV station RTL7L, implying that the stench had been dealt out by the Scot. When presented with the accusation, Anderson revealed he had also sensed the odor on stage – but said he thought his Dutch rival had been the one with flatulence issues. “I thought Wesley had farted on stage… you can put your finger up my arse, there’ll be no smell there,” said the no-nonsense Scot. “I thought he’d s***, and I went, … [Read more...] about Farting row lingers as darts stars accuse each other of causing ‘rotten’ smell on stage
Why bad smell from nose
An unbearable smell is stopping these villagers going outside
Villagers in a Valleys community say they are enduring "awful" living conditions as the result of dust and a terrible smell. People in Gelligaer say they won't invite people to visit and their children cannot play outside as a result. Rob Salter, owner of Greenhill Stores, said: “The smell burns your nose, it is absolutely disgusting. You can’t open your windows in the summer, that’s how bad it is." He also said there are “more flies and rats around the area" and that one family had to leave as a result. Earlier this year, Welsh towns and cities were named among the most polluted in Britain. The smell and dust are coming from a nearby quarry and recycling plant. The owners, Bryn Group, say they are listening to residents' concerns and taking action. They said the heatwave was making the dust more of a problem. The smell and the extent of the dust problem is immediately obvious to any visitor. Parents say they are now very concerned about the effects the dust, … [Read more...] about An unbearable smell is stopping these villagers going outside
How to cure a bad hangover
Whether you were out celebrating or commiserating, a hangover is one of the biggest buzz kills. Bright lights followed by a banging headache and that nauseous feeling that just won't go away. Whilst those lucky enough not to have commitments can sleep through it, most of us may have work or families to look after. So, if you need a quick fix, to banish the bane of last night, these could be some of the best cures. From cures that your mum probably taught you to science approved tricks, with the help of the Mirror , we have them all. Here's how to cure a hangover next time you find yourself on the brink the morning after. 1. Drink lots of water We're starting with an obvious one, but it's also the best. Drinking alcohol stops the body from creating a chemical called vasopressin, which means your kidneys send water straight to your bladder instead of absorbing into the body. It's also behind the reason for needing to go to the toilet so many times while you're actually drinking. This … [Read more...] about How to cure a bad hangover
This is why Waterbeach smells so bad
A recycling centre in Cambridgeshire has vowed to stop composting if the smell from their site gets too strong during the heatwave – with an ‘odour monitoring officer’ checking the smell. Since September last year, villagers have been complaining that an odour which smells like "putting your head into a bin" from AmeyCespa's Waste Management Park in Waterbeach has been making them feel ill. The lingering smell from the site has previously affected a number of people, particularly those with asthma. The company plant recycles domestic garden and kitchen waste produced in Cambridgeshire into quality soil improver, available free of charge for members of the public to take and use back in their gardens. The Environment Agency (EA) visited the 400-acre site on Ely Road in July last year, and confirmed that the company "needed to do more" to control odour emissions from the site. People living or working near the recycling site claim that the smell has been worse over the … [Read more...] about This is why Waterbeach smells so bad
Smelling chlorine at a pool is bad news
Chlorine is one of those smells that's instantly recognisable. Just a whiff of it can conjure up fond (or not so) childhood memories of swimming lessons, galas and days out. A sudden blast of chlorine may also remind you that you should probably give your house a quick clean, but it remains that chlorine and swimming pools are forever linked in our minds and noses. But that strong chemical smell isn't all it's cracked up to be... A strong chlorine smell doesn't indicate high levels of chlorine at all, according to the National Swimming Pool Foundation ( nspf.org ). In fact, it indicates some real nasties lurking in the water. Experts at the Water Quality and Health Council, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and that NSPF said properly treated swimming pools do not have a strong chemical smell. Instead, when chlorine in pool water combines with urine, feces, sweat, and dirt from swimmers’ bodies, the mixture produces chemical irritants called chloramines. It's … [Read more...] about Smelling chlorine at a pool is bad news
