Simply Stu Your Goat, Right Away

Clairsentance

Thursday 7th February

This morning, I was standing in the crowded work kitchen, waiting to make my cup of tea and I was hit with a well-known odour…

Marmite? Ugh!

Actually, I quite like Marmite, but the smell is certainly distinctive and not something I care to smell in the morning before my cup of tea.

Anyway… I made my way through the hoarde to the toaster area to investigate the presence of the aforementioned Marmite, and there it was.

However, the Marmite-bearer had not yet opened his jar. I had not seen the jar. I can only suppose that I have developed the power of clairvoyant smell, possibly now known as something like clairsentance if my English-French dictionary is to be trusted.

I’m not sure how I will be able to capitalise on my new found skill… watch this space…

  3. Heheh. I’m already seeing a lucrative “Heroes” spoof in the offing.

    A Mild-mannered software engineer who can smell the future,
    A schoolkid who can tell when it’s raining on the far side of the earth,
    A sexy cinema usherette who can turn steam to water faster than it would do naturally,
    A divorced college professor who can balance almost anything on the end of his pen…
