Fekkin Flies

[Annette Curtain]

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

Flick them with a tea towel like the big boys used to do to your arse as you passed them in the showers...

Or was it just me?

Anyway, hand to eye coordination is called for or you can smash your own window.

And when its buzzy body hits the deck it is very satisfying

If you don't want to see the inside of Guantanamo, tempting as it might be, avoid flicking the President's head with a tea towel

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.

You need to bring a little buzz of your own to the proceedings, 'Nette - and for that, these electrified fly swatters are just the thing. Great fun for all the family.

My friend actually got their original ones in an S&M shop. Apparently their original purpose has been, er, abused.

James Bond had the right idea

And how is "your friend" enjoying them *Bob*?

[*Bob*]

"He" has been very happy with the results.

[Annette Curtain]

Hey *Bob* i'm warming (in all the right places) to your recommended appliance

I wonder if it would heighten the effectiveness when the "mist of death" was added

They're not mains operated are they ?

Ask your friend would you

[*Bob*]

Batteries in the handle. Button on the handle. Press button to electrify grid. BOOM.

So MY FRIEND says

Fly spray works - straight away they fly out the window - so would I - I know its dodgy

The mains fly catcher I got has caught exactly none :(

Like the tennis game idea - exercise built in.
