$%*@&£# MIDGES

I just wish I had a decent stretch of road in my back garden so I could drive round and splat the above and send the results to the RSPB and let them sort out the numbers.
I've bought a midge proof(ha!) net so that when I go fishing,Horatio and/or Grissom and their crew don't have to try and trace my whereabouts through DNA recovered from the 8,000,000 relatives of my garden squaters. Midge proof, the rascals use it as a form of assault course to train up their muscles before the final assault on my delicate self. I suppose it's a way of sorting out the wheat from the chaff so in a way I feel proud that the Midges munching me (like that?) are only the best. Mind you after that last donut I reckon quite a few are suffering with hardened arteries. Maybe I should carry a health warning......

As i used to live in Scotland i totally agree with this. the @"£$%^&*)@ midges are really very annoying especially when you trying to have a barbecue on the beach.

It seems so unfair that after a long and dark winter, any pleasure in summer nights is spoilt by these pesky midges!

i have been to scotland so many times emma, and have been on the beach too. it is horrible when they come to eat your food. i understand where you are coming from the bloody things never leave me alone. they spoil the holiday.
