What does it mean when you can smell burnt toast, but there is absolutely no possiblity of it being toast. I.e im sat at my desk but can smell toast burning. No one else can.. and theres no way it could be actually toast.

What does it mean? Is there a medical reason behind it?

its been linked to people who have suffered or could suffer a brain haemorage.

neurologists seem quick to dismiss the theory.

i think the latin name for it is "attentionus seekum"

If its hunger, ill stem the feeling with a cigarette or two - they always make the hunger prangs go away. Then wash it down with a large mug of Coffee - 3 parts coffee, 2 parts sugar.. hot water.

Could say that about everything here though couldnt you.

If we want to be pedantic about it, shall i pull the forum to pieces?

IT questions - there are plenty of IT forums out there
Car questions - there are plenty of Car forums out there
Legal questions - there are plenty of Legal forums out there
Relationship questions - there are plenty of Relationship forums out there

Welsh rarebit

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup porter beer
3/4 cup heavy cream
6 ounces (approximately 1 1/2 cups) shredded Cheddar
2 drops hot sauce
4 slices toasted rye bread

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to brown the flour. Whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add beer and whisk to combine. Pour in cream and whisk until well combined and smooth. Gradually add cheese, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and sauce is smooth; this will take 4 to 5 minutes. Add hot sauce. Pour over toast and serve immediately.

* In fact we all are. The real smart trick is actually knowing when.

But really, if youre that worried sitting on an internet forum isnt the place to get help. Go to casualty or get an emergency appointment with your doctor. Just in case it REALLY is serious.**

There is also a school of thought that says it was a ghost or spirit passing by you.

Especially apt if you were the only person to smell it as it may even have passed thru you.
Dont always have to be toast either, normaly any strong smells that cant be explained.

You wonder why people don't like you? You might want to reread your thread. Don't do it now, wait a couple of days till things have settled down. In the past I have voted with my feet and not responded to your self obsessed, attention seeking crap, but feel that right now I should say someting, not that you will pay any attention. You are entitled to your opinion but so am I. Anything you get you bring on yourself. Karma is a wonderful thing.

Yes, that's the only reason you annoy people :roll:

FWIW, I'm more usually with you than agin you, the endless "Oh no, another GYKD post" responses are past a joke- even if I thought the original posts were worthless, which I don't, the feeble and unpleasant responses are a hundred times worse, IMO. But you don't really think it's all "because you is gay" do you? Some, yeah, probably.

I would imagine almost everyone couldn't care less.
And, I think at this point, its reasonable to be very critical of his posts.
Ooh. Am I actually going to not completely agree with Northwind?

GYKD combines an astonishingly self centric string of posts with an apparent callous indifferance shown to all people who are not GYKD, ranging from "the immigrants" to some poor soul who he was cheering on to kill themselves.

And then talks about how everything is OK, since he is goal oriented.

But I know I am a pinko bleeding heart commie, post up boring threads, and in fairness am a lot less entertaining in general.
