I like the Summer weather


But I HATE the Fekkin Flies


Of course everything is kept spic and span in the Curtain kitchen, but still they come in and buzz me and the windows.

Though i'm not keen on inhaling Fly Spray whilst attempting to ELIMINATE each and every one of the pesky things in my house.


However, they are hard to catch and kill. But if you have a plant mister to hand, then a few sprays of water in the air as they pass makes them wet, which in turn slows them down considerably.


THEN YOU CAN KILL THEM TO DEATH-DEATH-DEATH AT YOUR LEISURE

Does the shop sell a holster to go with that gun ?


I developed the "mist of death" method after the "flick" method caused too much collateral damage. One very precious bone china Charles & Diana mug (complete with gilt rim) was propelled from the work surface whilst trying to purge said invaders. It wasn't a pleasant sight seeing the happy couple in pieces on the floor


The beauty of the "mist of death" is that you actually encourage the fly to fly itself to near exhaustion, adding another, then another layer of water to its flagging body in each misty fly by


The creature usually ends up perched on a window frame, desperately trying to dry off. It's at this stage you can choose your method of execution


I prefer a blast of Mr Muscle or even a squirt of Fairy. However, if you like the sound of a fly being crushed, then a crumpled tissue is quite effective


In all it's quite empowering to know that each time i'm buzz bombed by one, that I can assassinate it with my foolproof "mist of death" method, if I so wish.

    • 'Tom Lehrer, acclaimed musical satirist of cold war era, dies aged 97' https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/28/tom-lehrer-dies-aged-97-dead-musical-satirist  
    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
