Sometimes you can get a light bulb that smells like that.

Good god, i didnt know i wasnt the only one who thought this but yes i noticed it some time ago, rather worrying that a few of you think the same thing :/

Newcastle Brown when spilt smells like urine, I've had it spilt on me a few times and it smells like I wet myself. Definitely not the sort of smell that helps you attract the ladies!

Try a black light (UV) to find the source

Sugarpuffs dont smell like wee. It's the other way around.

If you eat sugarpuffs then your wee smells of them though!

I disagree. I haven't eaten them since the early 90s....and still...........I don't think I need to say any more.

Seems to me that air conditioning units start to smell a bit when they aren't maintained properly. Might be wrong though.

That would be Legionnaires Disease then.

If you've got any plants nearby check them out, over-watered one of ours not long ago, and this white mould like stuff grew on the pot's soil - stank of ammonia, think it was the roots rotting...

A couple of months back I smelt a uriny smell in my computer room, pretty sure it wasn't me. Went on for 4 or 5 days then one night my 4 gang extension plug in the wall socket decided to melt itself to the wall socket with the most horrendous cracking noise. Took the plug apart, after it had cooled down, and it looked like the neutral wire had shorted to the earth wire. According to DIY.not forums its likely to have been a slack connection on the neutral pin which lead to a high resistance joint. Over the years it must have overheated to the point the insulation broke down and caused the short. Damn lucky I was in the room when it happened. But yeah, I put the smell down to the final stages of the insulation melting/weeping before the big bang.
