Lush - do you use the solid deodorants?

5000ml @5000ml (1923) • Belgium 1 Mar 07

I'm very curious about the solid deodorants, but I've heard lots of horrible stories about a painful burning sensation. Which deodorant do you use (if you use any of the solid ones) and would you recommend it to me? I'm currently...

Archduchess I got given a Fuwari at a shop meet last year, started using it, noticed that I was getting a sweaty smell by the end of the day and also came out in a horrible blistery rash under my arms, which was sore. Not worth it, when I can use a Dove spray that works...

Favourite Top Gear presenter?

Michal51 @Michal51 (659) • Germany 25 Jan 07

Who do you like most? Gentle Captain Slow? Trendy Hamster? Or Ironic Clarkson?

14 responses

Archduchess I love them all, and think they work well as a team, it's a brilliant dynamic and makes the show work, but Clarkson is probably my favourite, I love his turn of phrase, his belligerent no-nonsense attitude and his unerring belief that he is right, even when he...

How large is too large for a class?

bishojo17 @bishojo17 (46) • United States 21 Feb 07

In your opinion, how big does a class have to be before you feel like you can't connect with the students anymore? My question comes from my experience as a TA at a large university. In the past, I have mostly taught...

Archduchess I'm a primary teacher, so for me I would find 40 a really struggle. When I was a supply teacher I taught a couple of classes over 35 pupils and found it hard work, not least because I was trying to learn lots of new names. The marking was also a killer - 4...

Archduchess My very favourite is a Gingerman with a Fairy Jasmine/Christmas Carol and a Something Wicked melt. Having to hoard the last precious few gingermen I have now though, so it doesn't happen as often as I'd like. Big Blue and a Floating Island is another...

Lush: Do you stash or do you buy as you need and use fresh?

hezoid @hezoid (2144) 21 Feb 07

I've noticed there are quite a few Lush fans on here, and being a Lush addict myself i thought i'd ask you all whether you tend to stash a hoard of Lush products or if you tend to buy what you need as and when you need it so that...

Archduchess I have a huge stash - it's in a hatbox at the end of my bed that is about 70cm in diameter and 40 cm deep - it's packed with smaller boxes divided into soaps, BBs BBSs, shower gels etc. I stash too much really - my stash started to get a bit mental when I won...

Archduchess First time I went to the live stage show, I was about 11 years old, and volunteering as a first aider. I went with my mum (!) and hadn't been volunteering very long, so it was a bit of an eye opener seeing all the ushers and usherettes in drag with fishnets....

Archduchess I can teach myself using a computer, but the computer is is not teaching me. It is not responding to my learning needs, it doesn't find a different way of explaining things to me if I don't understand. It is an interactive base of information, but it is not...

Archduchess I read Lord of the Flies for GCSE English - I'm not sure I'd describe it as a "nice" book though! Powerful, thrilling, disturbing, compelling, and I can still remember a lot about it from about 8 years ago. I think we need explanations for things that...

Archduchess I never had a kite as a child - I always wanted one, my dad said he'd make one, but we just never got the time. When I was 15 or 16, me and my other half bought a Star Wars kite and spent evenings flying it over on the local school field. Fast forward to...
