Thread: Old Spice "Classic" No Longer Available in Australia

Sometimes it pays to read the whole sentence before jumping to conclusions!

Didn't Steve Moyes (sp?) the hang glider from Sydney get sponsored by Blue Stratos?

I met him years after when he was involved with an ultralight mob.

Solvol still available in a liquid form.

Definitely not the same as the cake of pumice impregnated soap.

The discerning gents amongst us know that the best bait for bush rats at your next B&S is Lynx Africa.
Paired with the smell of stale Bundy rum cans and diesel soot, and you got yourself a recipe for success.

Me, I am a true Land Rover man, I do not use deodorant or after shave. That's what the flaps on the Land Rover are for

Have you tried to buy Junket Tablets lately I managed to find 6 packets earlier this year in one Coles store near us after our local checked stock in other stores . When I asked at service desk no one knew what they were , fortunately they contacted there store room & girl in there knew what whey were . When she bought them out she said they had been taken off the shelf because they could not get them.

I'll be getting through a bit of it as I replace the front rotors this weekend!

I'm saving all remaining 'bar' supplies for my camping stash - yes I take it camping too.

A bar of good ol' Sunlight soap, once it's got a bit of moisture in it, rubbed in some clean sand or grit, is a good Solvol substitute.

Quite an interesting coincidence that you should mention that right now. This evening I had dinner with some elderly neighbours and was part of a conversation involving the words "junket", "rennet" and "flummery" for the first time in about thirty years.

Mind you, this is still not getting anybody any closer to solving the Old Spice problem.
