Wow; I haven't been in here for a few weeks and missed the kerfuffle.
FWIW I think the regular teafolks have every right to feel aggrieved. Why are the same limitations not being imposed on some of those God awful threads on SCP which are basically a boxing ring for the same old contributors? The same old contributors who claim to be holding down high powered jobs and running the country, while constantly posting boring argumentative drivel on a cycling forum.
It's not a good way to operate, IMHO, and has already caused at least 2 regular contributors to the forum to go elsewhere.
If it's for some technical reason, then fair enough but an explanation wouldn't go amiss. And consistency across the other boards would be good, too.

(1, or is it 9?) but no danger of getting to my limit :laugh:.
Hey @Brandane. If you drop me a PM, I can furnish you with an email address and you can discover exactly what the heck happened and where we all are :smile:

It would be interesting to know what some of the "Influential" people do?
It is quite apparent what my occupation is :smile:

Yes - what you have is a form of synaesthesia. The smell one is more unusual. Its not childhood evocation (although that may play a part in determining the smells, colours) its to do with our brains which are wired differently to other people! There are medical studies of it if you look it up. The difference between 'association' and synaesthesia is that we synaesthetes can't detach the sensation of smell or colour (or in some cases patterns and shapes) from the word. The sensation is just 'there'. I'm assuming its not just days of the week in your case. I have colours for every word! And they never change. Some have musical synaesthesia (my youngest son has this as well as word/colour).

Interestingly, it can be inherited. I asked my Mum a while ago and she said, yes she had always had it! Yet we had never mentioned it! My sister too has it (and sees shapes as well) and all my children have it. If you try to explain it to anyone who doesn't have it then they just don't understand!
Yeah, I get the smell thing with other things but I have always noticed it more with days of the week. I have experience of seeing shapes when listening to music or associated with particular people; it isn't as common as the smell issue but I have used it as a memory aid in the past. Interesting stuff!

I agree its not really a curse. Although my son finds it literally unbearable to listen to some kinds of music because it produces such vivid patterns and colours.
When I'm playing with distortion on, there are some levels of distortion that make my fillings want to leave home. It's too brittle and glittery. I'm OK with most music though. The types with glittery distortion is not something I'm going to listen to anyway.

I guess I must be one of the weird ones.
