    Have just emerged from the office to an unpleasant smell in the air. It smells a bit like sick and doesn't seem localised to the street just outside my office. Anybody know what it is?

    I know St James's Gate can emit a noticeable smell from brewing, but that's a pleasant sort of malty smell. This is not the same.

    probably a junkie puked all over the place, common practice in town these days

    There's a terrible smell around East Wall at the moment... thought it might be a gas leak. There's no fields near here in need of fertiliser either.
    Was there Wednesday lunchtime also.

    Probably blowing in off the incinerator.

    Spot on.

    Have gotten that smell out as far as Howth, Malahide and Dollymount, when the wind is blowing in a certain direction.

    =(:-) Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude (-:)=

    It's out Clondalkin / Ballyfermot direction too

    Can't believe it's the incinerator though - that's supposed to burn at 1000s of degrees isn't it?

    There are several different smells that come from James's Gate depending on what they're doing. Boiling hops produces a slightly acrid green-veg smell that could possibly be what you're describing. It's much more noticeable on cold days.

    I really thought it smelled like fertiliser and just presumed it was blowing from the mountains or something.
