I have just got home from work and noticed that my entire leg and foot have swollen up ridiculously due to said bite. I Cant quite believe such a small thing could make my foot so huge. So if you do get bitten by anything similar, dont ignore it and assume it will go away! What a drama ...

I agree, the Blandford fly does sound like the beastie ... both times I have been bitten the session centred around the lake area. Many thanks for all the advice and links.

People always say horsefly bites hurt to hell ... but I never see or feel them at the time. I just get a small country growing on my leg the next day. And now they bite through clothes ... it just gets worse. Guess I'll have to give up excersise. Shame.

It concerns me that i'm being mistaken for a horse. Clearly I must try harder whilst rolling in the mud. Amazing - thanks for the tip! :) woofmarkthedog Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > HorseFlies > > ( they are evil at this time of the year ) > > Try Avon " skin so soft " dry oil spray ( it's the > very, very* best repellent there is ) > > > W**F > > (*very)

So it migrates ... it's both clever and evil ... Though it sounds like your bites may have contributed to the realism of your Indiana Jones visit. :)

Not aimed exclusively at Peckham Rye Mil-Fit goers ... but twice now, during the session I have been bitten by 'something' on the back of my legs. Said 'bite', the following morning has swelled up to the size of a tennis ball, bigger even, rock solid to the touch... once accompanied by a 5cm diametre purple bruise-like-lump. Anyone had a similar experience whilst rolling in mud on the Rye / know what it could be / know how I might stop it munching on my flesh?

It?s worth waiting > Jamil wasn't a nasty previous tenant, he was a kind and responsible family man who worked very hard to run Two Trees and Two Trees Lounge - both good and very popular restaurants. Two Trees closed down (if i remember correctly) due to issues with the lease, hence why he bought the Lounge next door before his family moved away. The Lounge is now the Italian place. But agreed - do something with the place - Two Trees weekend breakfasts are sorely missed!

Wow. That is so generalising and presumptious thats it's borderline amusing. Do you know anyone that actually went /goes to Alleyn's to justify such comments?

I wish....student..:(

No worries, and thanks Perhaps I will come on here to fight, I feel like Ive been for a run.:)

'awesome idea actually..assuming the tickets havent gone like hotcakes, I'll check it out. Thanks.' That was what i posted to thank you. Perhaps i did it wrong. Sorry if i irritated you.

Wow...awesome. Present no. 2 potentially! Cheers

Tony, I'm really not going to give you that rise you seem so desperate to get out of me, because frankly I have better things with to do with my time than arguing with a stranger on the internet who suggested I get my boyfriend a hooker for his birthday. Perhaps unlike you, Im not here for jest,argument,social activity,and vicious banter... I think this website is a useful tool for information and I like to use it so. And thats not a criticism. Ive been thanking people as I have gone along, yourself included I believe after the suggestion of the Ashes, and considering the comments were still going strong yesterday I dont think it unreasonable that at 10am in the morning I havent posted to thank everyone for their comments. I dont wake up and sign in just to see what witty thesaurus-aided remarks have appeared since i went to bed. So please, If you want a fight, go and pick on someone else, Im really not interested. But thank you for your Ashes suggestion, it was helpful. And thanks, of course, to all others who chipped in. Great info, and Im sure will help others also...went for gig tickets in end, which I found after Keef suggested. Off to see the pixies at Brixton:) . Sorry I couldnt say so right away yesterday, I happened..god forbid...to be doing something else.

paintballing...nice!

do you live on here?

Thanks Keef...love the huge steak thingo, know he would too..definitely an option

awesome idea actually..assuming the tickets havent gone like hotcakes, I'll check it out. Thanks.

thank you keef for having a more advanced personality than a 12 year old.. He's probably somewhere in between the two as well, walking the fine line between cool and dorky. Hes an aussie living in london..Loves games, computers, poker, live music, cooking.. Im not totally out of ideas, but I thought a thread here might be inspiring. Naive that I am.

clearly this wasn't a good idea

...it's all in the title really... ideas?
