God help us! Thrifty - Do they? I didn't know that. Sorry, but I remain unmoved and will continue to slaughter the little buggers. Baino - We don't need mosquitoes in this country to spread disease and poison the water. We have a Health Service and local councils who are much more efficient.

I distinctly remember in senior infants having one crawl over my face, the teacher saying "don't move" but I couldn't resist. It stung me beside my right eye, the bastard. A pox on all their hives. Oh that image reminds me of a Dr. Who episode, the proper one, with Tom Baker.
