Well, if ye can get baby powder scented candles (true, a former colleague got one and it was nauseating) chances are you can get petrol-based ones. This is usually where I'd say 'if all else fails, why not make your own?' but that's asking for trouble. Still there are worse things to do with the stuff. ETA: Yes, you can get one!

Me too! Only with some really good Artisan bread, a couple of olives and some really good Cabernet!!!! I'm far too miserly for artisan bread and fancy wine, but I'm taken withe olives. If they're stuffed even better. @boulder88 I'll keep that in mind. :)Good thing is, Sky won't want both WWE and AEW so there is a chance we could get it for free, even in a dead timeslot. Hopper, I have at least 25 years on you. Believe me, you won't mind spending extra money on some good liquid of your choice and artisan bread !

You're right SCG, I'll certainly end up having a damn good artisan bread cured meat and olive sandwich before the year is out.

I love watching ASMR videos to relax (they're essentially videos with relaxing sounds/whispering and simulated personal attention). I know lots of people find them creepy or weird, but I don't care, I like having cute girls put me to sleep, lol. Stuff like this: well just discovered i love girls whispering in my headphones real next level stuf when you listen to this with headphones on and close your eyes

since you guys are talking about ASMR, here's the worst of them all. every time this video appears on the twitter timeline i feel like sticking my eyes with a fork. Okay, that is torture... I want to stick a fork in my eyes and ears after forcing myself to watch and listen to a minute of that.

I have always been a weird nerd and I love so many weird, nerdy things. A few just off the top of my head...
I love a lot of different manga and anime, but especially the giant robot space opera series from the 1980s like Gundam and Macross. I guess because I watched some of them as a kid, I still have a soft spot for these old series.
Even though I'm very girly and generally not into action genres or military history, I can't get enough historical fiction about the British navy during the Napoleonic Wars, like Horatio Hornblower or Master and Commander.
Someone mentioned morris dancing, I'm right there with you on all those old English customs and folk music (the real thing, not the lame watered down modern reinterpretations), also Irish and Scottish music including bagpipes, uillean pipes, sean nos, all of it. As for food, I like a lot of Asian food too but I don't like meat or fish that much. I could happily eat rice, tofu and vegetables for every meal, which I think a lot of Americans find weird but is not that unusual in Asian countries. Tofu in the US tastes terrible, but made properly it can be delicious, don't judge it until you've had the real thing. It's like eating Wonder Bread and saying you hate all bread.
Speaking of bread, I make a lot of my own bread when I have the time, but I have yet to master a really good sourdough rye.
I've been making my own kefir and drinking it every day, so healthy and delicious! I love to eat the grains, they are kind of chewy and taste like cheese. Weird, I know.

I forgot about that scene from Zoolander. That's hilarious! I also like that the male model's name was "Brint." Perfect name for a guy who lights a cigarette while doused in gasoline. Looking into my candle options

I love going to Lowe's (hardware/home improvement store). I think the sensory experience of it kind of takes me back to the days when I was younger and not burdened with adulting and responsibility lol. The smell that's kind of a mix of industrial and freshly cut wood. I used to go with my dad when I was a kid and I liked walking around and looking at all the stuff (back in the days when you'd just let your kid roam around unsupervised lol). I still love to go and just mill around. Especially the plants and garden section

I like tinkering with microcontrollers like Arduinos and such. I also like train travel. I love train travel, too! Generally the act of travelling - it always feels like being suspended between two worlds to me. Anything seems possible, when you're on a journey. I always imagine getting off the train at some random stop and just leaving the life I know (Not that I'd ever actually do it.) Totally know what you mean. There’s a certain charm about random little towns the trains stop at, especially through Europe (I’m on the US east coast so the only little towns on the Amtrak are like, Wilmington, Delaware).

Looking into my candle options Yep, alongside the David Bowie cameo one of my favourite scenes in the film is that gasoline fight, they just look so happy! And of course, like you said Brint had the perfect name. Back on track, I'm a big fan of Coronation Street and never miss an episode, even if it's taken a real nosedive since the last producer was bought in. What? I've been watching it since I was about 6, I'm not gonna stop now am I? Although I do kind of want to as even for a soap some of the recent storylines have been awful. But loyalty is what it is.

One has just occurred to me...
Some of you know I work for an airline, I love the smell of burnt aviation fuel which you smell when a jet taxies past, effectively the exhaust fumes.

I’m hoping AEW lives up to the hype. Me too. No news on a UK deal so far though. They have the makings of being a legit threat to WWE if enough invest. I don’t know, right now they’re a T-shirt company, basically. I WANT a legit option that isnt wwe, because 1. Competition makes everyone better and 2. Wwe is...not the greatest company. I WANT them to succeed, Kenny omega and jimmy havoc are my favorite male wrestlers, I guess we’ll see hahaha

fray I agree. Fortunatly the roster announced so far is solid competition to the WWE and as for the content, I imagine that AEW will push the envelope the best they can. Agreed about Omega and Havoc, they're in the best place. WWE would't know what to do with them.

This idea that AEW is a T-shirt company only was a funny meme for awhile and a trendy joke on the forums, but the reality is they’ve sold out a 12,000 seat building in a half hour that they’ll perform at in 2 weeks with 2 other shows announced to follow and a largely rumored TV deal to be announced next week. They’re gonna be just fine especially if they land on TNT/TBS.
Havoc is absolutely where he belongs. He would never make it in a WWE style and format. Kenny Omega however, he can be the top guy in any universe.
