The fly that won't flush!!

[redfruitgum]

So there has been housefly buzzing round the house today annoying me to no end in the process. So imagine my delight when putting towels in the bathroom i see that the fly has managed to get trapped in the water in the bottom of the toilet . Without hesitation i lept across the bathroom and flushed the toilet and he didn't flush . Three flushes he has survived now and he still there trying to struggle up the bowl. I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for him now .Do i just leave him to drown , think of a way to kill him, or launch a rescue operation ?

Keep on flushing. It's only a matter of time before toilet flush rip current drags him down the u bend eventually.

The toilet flush rip current since I posted this he survived flush #4. He seems to be some sort of invincible fly. I've put the toilet lid down on him for the time being.

Noooo let him out...its christmas

^shall we write and record a charity song for the toilet fly then?

Does the fly know it's Christmas time....

Christmas fly

I'm gonna head back upstairs to see if it's died yet

I would rescue him and put him outside. Ok it’s pouring down but give him a chance. It is Christmas after all! 2

OMG feeling sorry for a fly! Out of all the creatures on this earth,I think houseflies must be the only one that I feel no empathy or sympathy for,after learning how they eat! (not envy)

It's was part way up climbing up the toilet bowl. It has now survived flush #6

This fly wants to live. It's a fighter...

Jeez how pants must your toilet flush be.

Put a square or 2 of toilet paper in before you flush.

The fly seems to be earning its survival
(Hope you're not on a water meter OP...!)

Stop wasting water!
A drop of soap in the pan will make it drown. Then leave it until there is something to flush.

Harpic Full Strength.

Gonna try the loo paper idea.

How would soap drown the fly?

Push him under the water with the toilet brush until he drowns.

He's flushed

How would soap drown the fly?
It destroys the surface tension of the water so that the fly cannot sit above the surface. Often used to stop mosquito larvae living on water.

So long Mr fly. Valiant effort but as I predicted the toilet flush rip current did you in the end

Jesus Christ don’t get it out, if it’s survived four flushes that ain’t no normal fly, that’s a Jeff Goldblum hybrid fly!

Oh thank god.....
