to be hiding under a blanket because....

[VoldemortsNipple]

There's feckin mosquitoes trying to ambush me. Seriously, in Liverpool!

Why can't they Fuck the Fuck off back to Borneo!

I was viciously attacked by a Daddy-long-legs earlier that flew in my direction right at me :(

I feel your pain...

The little fuckers nearly killed me once. They're certainly not getting a bite out of me again!

Well dh went out and bought a gun some fly spray and we've killed at least 20! :o

I can't stop laughing at "Seriously, in Liverpool!"

Errrm...they're all over the rest of the UK so why not Liverpool?

Or should they be scared of Scousers?

My DS has been bitten alive by them as usual this year and we're in London

Perhaps we're not 'ard enough to scare them off?

I didn't know you could get them here until one landed on my arm the other day. Seriously I too was like seriously, in Edinburgh?!?

Marmite is supposed to work.

I eat it on Toast most mornings and never get bitten but when I went camping Last week I was eaten alive - I didn't eat any marmite though. Coincidence??? Hmmm??? Hmm??? I think not!

Do you just eat the Marmite or smother yourself in it?

Eat it apparently - thankfully. I embrace my pale and pastey look. Don't fancy that level of tan :)

They fuck me right off to be honest.

Every fecking year we get bitten alive by me and DS3 are allergic to the bites so we come up in massive lumps.

Nextdoor have a fish pond and they don't clear the mosquito larvae

Haha worraLiberty this is the first year I've seen mosquitoes in Liverpool. I knew they were down south, but its normally too cold for them here.

One landed on the shower door yesterday and sat there staring at me. As Soon as a turned the shower off it flew in to get me!

You feed the Marmite to the mosquitos. That'll teach the feckers.

We went to Glencoe years ago camping and as soon as I stepped out of the car I was itching all over, bloody mossies! Luckily I had a spray to use but you literally had to cover yourself head to toe in the stuff, one day I missed a small patch on my face and I knew about it!

I must be very tasty

We get them in the back bedroom (DS3's) and also in the bathroom.

I've found the best way to kill them in the bathroom is to sneak up on them with a wet bit of tissue and splat them against the tiles...they're slower than normal flies by far.

Littlemiss you sure that wasn't the infamous midges?

Avon skin so soft body lotion works for me- it repels the little fuckers. I didn't get bitten once in Thailand and usually I'm a banquet for the horrible bastards. I actually read the US Navy use it for the same purpose..

Excuse me - in Glencoe they were midges not mossies! We are very particular about that here in Scotland. Unlike mossies they like it cold, wet and grumpy.

Hmmm Glencoe would be midges. Evil little bastards!

I blame the last government! They must have allowed them in with their dodgy migration laws :o

Marmite. hmm, you either love it or hate it unless your a mozzie and then you hate it :)

Billions of the fuckers in wiltshire this evening.

Is that even allowed?

Oops sorry didn't mean to offend! Feel free to give me a biscuit lol! Glencoe is a beautiful place (creep creep)

I blame being seriously sleep deprived due to a heavy cold!

On a seperate note if anyone knows any good things to help a cold I would be grateful! (sorry for the hijacking but I am desperate now)!!

love the idea of rubbing marmite on a midgie though! I'm off to catch one and try it...

Please God it will soon be cold enough to kill off the entire insect world!

Not bees, I know they are somehow necessary to avoid the world coming to an end, but the rest of them can just DIE! This is England, not bloody Africa!

Scally mozzies!

the worst!

They really did almost kill me - dengue hemorrhagic fever, Google it and be afraid.

I got bitten on the underside of my foot the other week. Seriously, wtf? It bloody killed and I had a massive allergic bump for ages.

MrsTerry They really nearly killed me too. Feckin malaria parasite sat laying dormant for over 12 months. So when I contracted it, nobody thorght it would be that.

Where did you contract Dengue fever? I was in the depths of the Borneo jungle when I contracted Malaria. We were warned to stay well clear of stagnant water for fear of the Dengue :o
