I'm using The Sun's report because it says both "conkfidence" and "conk-quering".

No, it's not cocaine.

I can't believe this would ever be legal. Society would break down!

(seems to be related to the effects of MDMA)

I do love the "set to be a hit with jittery Brits" parenthesis.

Alba, Monday, 16 July 2007 11:58 (nineteen years ago)

Thank god the word following this sentence is in bold and in capitals:

DOCS have invented a spray which cures shyness — by being squirted up the

StanM, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:05 (nineteen years ago)

This is a bad day for girls who fancy shy boys.

Madchen, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:06 (nineteen years ago)

better than paxil?

Heave Ho, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:09 (nineteen years ago)

I am trying to think of a clever analogy to describe the absurdity of fancying shy boys.

Alba, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:12 (nineteen years ago)

isn't that some kind of gravy?

Ed, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:12 (nineteen years ago)

Gravy is always a good ice-breaker.

Alba, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:13 (nineteen years ago)

"Gravy with that?"
"Ooh no, I'm vegetarian and shy"
"It's your lucky day!"

Alba, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:14 (nineteen years ago)

Are you saying that us poor boys who can't afford the spray can just sniff gravy instead?

StanM, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:18 (nineteen years ago)

what if you're already confident? does it just turn you into a total cunt?

it basically *is* cocaine, isn't it?

StanM, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:21 (nineteen years ago)

Gravy isn't mentioned here at all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytocin

StanM, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:22 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, is it just oxytocin?

The crush neurotransmitter! I've been saying this for years.

Masonic Boom, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:23 (nineteen years ago)

Nose jokes aside, I think it's supposed to be more "confidence through connection than "confidence through stridency", so ODing on it might turn you more into a pawing jelly than a black-suited Spider-Man.

Alba, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:25 (nineteen years ago)

StanM, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

Tracer Hand, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

This is why some people need less confidence, not more.

Matt DC, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:49 (nineteen years ago)

Trayce, Monday, 16 July 2007 13:16 (nineteen years ago)

If that "bird" in the pic is indeed using the nose spray, I ain't having none of it. She looks like she could use some gak for chrissakes!

BTW Stan, did you attend the Sly Stone performance in Ghent?

nathalie, Monday, 16 July 2007 13:18 (nineteen years ago)

Trayce, I think yr mate went on a DATE with my bandmate?

Masonic Boom, Monday, 16 July 2007 13:19 (nineteen years ago)

Nathalie: no, I only went that one night when Cinematic Orchestra (way more jazzy than on their albums) and DJ Shadow (great) played.

StanM, Monday, 16 July 2007 13:19 (nineteen years ago)

Haha o rly? xpost

That's what too much anti-shyness-nose-spray does to you :-(

StanM, Monday, 16 July 2007 13:22 (nineteen years ago)

Why not call it "Nosegay"?

Mark G, Monday, 16 July 2007 13:29 (nineteen years ago)

I hope it makes yr nose spray out a fountain of blood, forcing people to ask you what's wrong. INSTANT CONVERSATION TOPIC.

jessie monster, Monday, 16 July 2007 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

that PT-141 thing sounds more like it'd make your nose spray out a fountain of jizz.

ken c, Monday, 16 July 2007 13:39 (nineteen years ago)

Ken: yah! I knew him before he moved over to London! And he mentioned doing a gig with you guys and I was all omg i know Ken!

Are you ILX's Shyness Correspondent?

Tom D., Thursday, 22 May 2008 12:52 (eighteen years ago)

Hooray, a fantastic new wonder drug that lets the kids who stopped talking because they were laughing stocks in school forget that people are jerks for long enough to make themselves laughing stocks again.

Wait, I thought that was what messageboards and/or alcohol were for.

a passing spacecadet, Thursday, 22 May 2008 13:05 (eighteen years ago)

This stuffs's only £35. Bargain!

They found that people who inhaled the "love hormone" oxytocin continued to trust strangers with their money - even after they were betrayed.

this is supposed to be a good thing?

ken c, Thursday, 22 May 2008 13:15 (eighteen years ago)

xpost lol even if it's a rip-off people will continue to trust it with their money DO YOU SEE

ken c, Thursday, 22 May 2008 13:16 (eighteen years ago)

They found that people who inhaled the "love hormone" oxytocin continued to trust strangers with their money - even after they were betrayed.

This may explain the Conservative Party's current 20% lead in opinion polls
