Oh blimey Super!  Good that you're feeling better tonight though

*sigh*

And I didn't even win the bloody lottery 

And why is that bloke looking all moony-eyed at David Wicks in Casualty? And please don't tell me, coz I don't really care

Is Casualty still going?

Yup

Hahahahahahahaha - your avi

LOL! Yes and on the last odd episode I saw, they've changed their format 

Nor me Ah wait...I didn't put it on!

Ah Duckster...a gawjuss flutterby avi

You forgot the "Proms" BBC2.........

Well, it does help if you do   I never check mine until Sundays

What was odd about it - did Charlie Whatsit have two facial expressions??

Just read back.........you did'nt ........

Nah, what I meant was I don't follow it every week 

I only like Land of Hope and Glory

I am such a pleb

I knew that

I mean, obviously Charlie wouldn't have two facial expressions

I did.....I edited

Fly update....took the cling film off as thought I was making life too difficult for them....They still took no notice....but, they do seem to have buggad off anyway

I have Zaph to thank for it. I just ain't that clever.

But where have they buggered off to? I don't like sharing my bedroom with them

It's a bit Ladybirdist though, isn't it? Didn't you hate them too? 

Camelot's alright!   

I keep having to shut my eyes cos its a bit bloodthirsty..    

but it beats Casualty!

Strangely Sprouty they aren't venturing upstairs..thank God

Ah ... now you are talking, I've done Blenheim and Radley (and my mum loves it too xx)

But I have to be there, I don't much like it on the telly

Watching Amy, who is Wallander?

I've got a 'coughsshoppingchannel' on beside me with the sound down, allthough I've just been to the lounge and had a listen to some choons. I may go  back there 

Another thread which is going to turn into a SIT.

Oh fer gawd sake! 

For anyone who may be interested...The red wine vinegar and fairy liquid concoction yielded zero results!

One not to try then 

Might work for fruit flies Sprouty?.....Anyways, seems fewer of them now..... Oh and for the record there's no food left out, I don't have a 'minging' house, I disinfect my kitchen worktops about 20 times a day, the loo gets cleaned and bleached at least once a day etc. etc.....The whole village has the problem, it's not just me!

Awww. I know   They're buggers though aren't they? 

Sprouty, everything I've read/googled suggests that it must be something I'm doing/not doing re cleanliness etc. Admittedly, I'm never going to get nominated for Suzie Homemaker's OCD prize LOL, but it is a problem for the whole village, not just me.

Hey, Ho, I'll be eternally thankful that it's only a fly prob' I've got, as all those poor buggers in the cities are experiencing what they are, I'm watching the 'yoof' in my village this week playing out on the green every evening: hide and seek; frisbee; water balloon flights etc. etc.....entirely different world

Super, there's nothing you can do, they're going to get in whatever. It's damage limitation I think. And like you're doing, not leaving any bait etc.

And to your second point. I know what you're saying. That takes me back to the time I was younger when we used to play rounders in the square outside our houses with some strategically planted (when they were at time) trees for posts 

Have you tried good old fly paper Super? 

If so sorry, I've not read back. 

No.....but that toxic spray is pretty effective

It's lovely to see it Sprouty, children being children and 'playing out' ...the bus stop is the 'goal post' when they're playing footbal/rugby

Ah, see they'd get ASBOs for that around here. 

I know Bliz, I know....they'd get 'em x miles down't road too.....bliddy complainers.....OUTRAGE 'cos the ball went into their garden, them biddy irresponsible parents should control their kids.......i.e. keep them indoors on their playstations etc. etc.......Bloody adults have to start taking responsibility for the constructs they have created of the 'yoof' of today imo

I need to edit my 'favourite' 10 books to include Blake Morrison's 'As If'
