Bloody brilliant things!

Bluebottles are shitty little fuckers living and laying eggs on anything dead or on a piece of dog sh*t somewhere but I suppose they do kinda do a 'clean up' job on anything rotting so maybe save our infection somehow?

I'm ok with spidies and will scoop one up in my hand to let it out of the sink or whatever

I like bumble bees but wasps just seem to live around sticky lolly wrappers and annoy us.

I hate mice because they eat rubbish and even eat each other (I have seen this in the office trap - how disgusting) I really don't know what mice are for.

Anyone for a Garibaldi Buscuit?

For me its the humble but bloody painful mosquito

i hate them with a passion, but they seem to be loving the taste of me at the moment,

they are very common here but add to that the country wide floods Poland suffered not long ago hence leaving many many pools of stagnant standing water and the average temperatures in the upper 20 lower 30s at the moment and this place is infested

i got a good 15 bites on Saturday alone when we headed out to the countryside, the wife thinks im insane when i do the full house patrol with the tea towel and torch before bed.

I've rescued a bat before, also a bird that flew into the window last summer. I hate wasps and the bloody midges that we get around here, vicious little buggers that they are. I hate wasps because when I was younger I was running through bushes on the edge of a river down sarf somewhere and I ran head first into a wasps nest. I got stung about 50-100 times and my friend had to pull one out of my ear canal and my parents were pulling the stingers out for hours afterwards. Think I went through a good few litres of vinegar that night!! I also move any frogs and newts that I happen to find in the garden back down to the stream before the dogs find them.

Mice don't bother me, but not the most hygenic of animals to have anywhere near the kitchen. I must admit though, living in the country you kind of just accept animals are going to live round you no matter what you do.

This year's crop seems keener than usual, even having me in full sun. I've just been gardening but they've (mostly) left me alone 'cos I'm covered in that Autan stuff, we've also got those Raid plug-in jobs. Yeah, it's pricey but it's better than scratching all night (although I've found the stuff for our fog's flea allergy is much better than anything for humans in that respect), accompanied of the drone of the mosquito that was hiding on something dark when you checked.

And what's with these stupid little flies that spend all their time trying to land in my eyes? They just keep flying at them until I have to drop what I'm doing and go fish them out again, bastards.

You guys in Poland/Croatia would it be worth buying one of those Blue UV light zapper things for the house? the kinda thing you'd see in a restaurant.

been thinking about it Welly, its getting fecking awful here at the moment, I know there is usually a fair few about here in the early and late parts of summer but this year it is officially at "plague" proportions, my delicate English skin is not made for such abuse, add to that the raging sun and Im starting to see why the Poles are such a hardy race

Why is the Champs-Élysées lined with trees?

Because Germans like to march in the shade

Now being of the Aryan type (over 6 foot, blonde haired, blue eyed and pale skin) Im really starting to understand this joke

[steve_earwig]

Holy crap

Had one, they only died laughing

Champs A Lesay

Do you mean Champs-Élysées?

Oh dear, it's spelling and grammar nazi time again (sorry)

Do all the older folks try to speak to you in German there? They either learned German or Russian here, and they figure 'cos English and German sound the same to them I should be able to understand. No matter how many times I tell them. In Croatian

i did yeah but in my defence its frog and dont speak proper frog like wot i do wiv ingerlish

as for the German/Russian thing, I think that Im that well known as the "Angol" round here, (its only a small town) they just use what little English they have, the amount that say "Good morning" to me at any time of day or night whether Im coming or going is quite amusing but kinda sweet too.

*and i fixored my lil mishtake

This one's pretty cool, it's £80 notes but then I noticed the dog's-doodads insecto-cutors are over £400.00

caught insects are hidden from view until it's so full they start spilling out onto the floor and/or stink.
