Would make a great thread, this - some of the pictures on the packaging are hilarious!

It would. Consider it done.

Serves 8 - but only if 6 hate salad

Pay and display machines that don't take a card...90% of them.

Then I had a brain wave, as I was in Scarborough I hit the arcade and got 30 quids worth of pound coins from the change machine = sorted for a week.

...I hate a pocket full of coins though

I was thinking about this the other day. I don’t think I have actually paid for anything using coins for years. What is the point of them

Flies ….. horrible little dirty pointless barstewards… I’m currently staying in a house in Powys, mid wales. The house itself is lovely but it’s in the middle of the countryside and the infestation of flies is maddening… glad I’m going home today.

Not at all pointless, you just don't know the point of them which isn't the same thing.

Just put a small wildlife pond in the back garden. About a month in and its teeming with mosquito larvae and I'm starting to get concerned about the family finding my dessicated husk if I decide to sit out of an evening.

This weekend, mosquito larvae all gone thanks to the arrival of semaphore flies at the pond who have eaten them all.

Kids football tournaments, hours at a venue for very little football. I hate them, complete waste of time.

Don't you have any mates of your own age you could play with?

I don’t mind insects and stuff, even got a bee hotel in my garden, it’s just bloody flies

There's hundreds of species of flies mate. Some are actually quite useful.

Horse flies are bastards though. The ones that drive me mad are those quite small ones that fly in short straight lines before an abrupt change of direction, usually under a light fitting. Impossible to take those guys out with a flick of a tea towel.

I got myself a racquet run off batteries which gives them an electric shock, had hours of fun today toasting them on there, don’t half smell when burning though

I remember as a kid my parents basically dousing the house in some horrendous insecticide daily during the summer if any small winged creature happened to trespass.

Now it's all tales of how there was so much more wildlife when they were young.
