The most rancid smell you have ever whiffed is?

I once had to dissect a rat in biology class and remove all the organs. Absolutely fucking ville smell.

On the upside, since stitching the rat back up I hear it's gone and got itself a job for Sky commentating on United games. Gary something his name was.

The Columbia River Watershed in Late August near the Georgia Pacific Pulp Mill in Washington. A lot of sewage and fertilizer run off hits the river that time of year. And when the heat reaches into the upper nineties, it's almost unbearable. Not so much the river by itself, but the chemicals from the mill fight with ones from the river to create this baking shit smell. It's so bad once you experience that it imprints on your brain permanently.

Newall Green school playing fields football pitch middle of summer, someone had dug a Pigs head into a penalty area and it stank the entire pitch out so much it was unplayable.

No. Not at all. Most of the fishing is done nearing the mouth of the Pacific when the salmon work upstream. But fishing near the Willamette/Columbia convergence is all but dead. They try to mask the smell now using chemicals though. It makes things a little better. I grew up around a paper mill and sewage treatment facility so I am used to it.

Bearded Dragon diarrhoea. Can't even put into words how much it hits you, I pulled the muscles in my side with how badly I gagged/wretched. Their shit normally smells pretty bad, particularly if you clean it up straight away, but he had diarrhoea on my carpet when I let him run around, so went to clean it up straight away and, fucking hell, you could weaponise the smell. It was one of those that's so strong you don't really even smell it, you feel it. (top tip, don't overfeed lizards, they will commit war crimes)

Waiting for A level results I got a temporary job in a factory that made cottage cheese, trifles meat and fish paste. It was close to closing down so as a temp they gave me the job of spiking big cans of anchovies which had failed bacteriology. My daily treat was a ride to the tip with my day’s work. i never touched fish paste, anchovies or anything that smelled fishy ever since. That was in 1973.

 

[york away to this!]

There's a stench of self-entitlement drifting over from Merseyside this afternoon...

Removal of gentleman that had passed away many weeks earlier at the height of summer.He was difficult to evacuate owing to skin slippage caused by putrefaction.A close runner up was Pennine bait maggot farm on Tod Moor where I lasted only half a day.I had to walk home in my wellies because the bus driver would not let me on.They made me empty the wagon full of hosses heads and and trotters hoofs and offal all destined for the fly room.I had to burn my clothes and the smell was in my pores days after.A lady who had worked there since the companies inception hand packed the maggots into the tubs and used to eat her butties on the assembly line and she offered me one as I had not brought anything in but I wasn't hungry.
