Personal HygieneThere comes a point at which your hygiene becomes less your problem and more everyone else's:
My old school nurse never seemed to wash - instead she wrapped herself in crepe bandages from the first aid kits. The smell was beyond pungent. If you got ill at school, it was better to suffer than try and explain symptoms whilst only breathing out.
When she was eventually 'let go',they had to strip the wallpaper in her office to get rid of the lingering odour.
How scuzzy have you got? Or, failing that, how bad have people you know got?

A great story about sickWhen I was still living with my parents, my whole family had gone away for a couple of weeks leaving me on my own in the house.
I was to film a friends wedding.
Unfortunately the previous night I had drunk a bottle of vodka with friends, I was so drunk. I vaguely remember being sick on the floor of my bedroom during the night. When I woke up I was seriously late so I left the sick there on the floor. I left it there for a full week and just slept in another room.
Shortly before my parents came back from holiday I simply ran the vacuum cleaner over it and the carpet was clean, if not a little stained. They were none the wiser.
The same week I had a nosebleed - I blew out as much as I could all over the shower walls and left it there. I invited my friends round to see what looked like a murder scene.
