Mosquitoes !..What Are They Good For ?
« on: 01/03/2009 22:55:40 »
"Mosquito's, What Are They Good For ?..Absolutely Nothing Say It Again " sang Edwin Starr in 1970 ...although,a freak cough and a clearance of the throat garbled the first word from ' mosquito' to 'war '....

Look, here's a mozzie enjoying a McCorpuscle (from a MaccyDees employee)...

 [ Invalid Attachment ]

Can ewe think of any use for a mozzie ?..are there any redeeming features to them at all ?

I don't know, I can't think of any...they're a blimmin nuisance *le sigh*

whajafink ?...any goodness there at all ?

I have just taken stock of one if these - a mosquito zapper! Now I can practice my FOG backhand at the same time as ridding my house of these pesky blighters!
