That's why you need an Executioner Fly Killer Tennis Racket Zapper, which is way more expensive than a rolled up newspaper or a tin of fly spray, but a million times more satisfying (cheaper, sking door and window in your house or car to give them a clear passage back out and they will defiantly refuse to cooperate .tter versions are available).https://www.bugasalt.co.uk/?tw_source=google&t...
I now refer to house flies as "victims". Not one who enters our flat now survives.

That's something that's bugged me for years.king door and window in your house or car to give them a clear passage back out and they will defiantly refuse to cooperate .
Deserves recognition.
Can I ask when people [increasingly] draw attention to a post by writing "deserves recognition" - do you really think you are the only thread follower out of hundreds[?] who has noticed the comment and understood its undeniably complex yet comic meaning?
Postal voting.
The voting slip is folded in such a way that it doesn't fit into the envelope provided for it. So you have to refold it, and you know from personalexperience that the multiple ways people have of folding this is a pita to the vote counters.
Then you put sealed envelope A duly identified with the provided adhesive label into envelope B together with your signed Postal Voting Statement, which then doesn't quite fit properly into envelope B. It's just a fraction too large.

Methinks you put your vote in the wrong envelope... The voting slip is folded in such a way that it doesn't fit into the envelope provided for it. So you have to refold it, and you know from personalexperience that the multiple ways people have of folding this is a pita to the vote counters.

I guess maybe they differ from Council to council?
Not really, I'm the only onehere in the presence of the envelopes pre printed with the necessary A and B identity in very large bold font. So there's no mistake, innocent or otherwise. May be different in other constituencies, but in ours every ruddy time the same.
So then one wonders why individuals might decide to argue with someone who has already declared they are really quite annoyed. Maybe it's just to deliberately create an argument, against posting rules in case forgotten.
To make things worse the other one opened with "methinks" which almost qualifies an immediate response starting with oh just fk off.

Presumably this is all done independently by each constituency rather than centrally, which must be inefficient? Mine all fitted fine and the envelope was printed rather than having a sticky label.

Ah see my reply above. I would have assumed they were all standard but having never postal voted anywhere else, I wouldn't know differently So then one wonders why individuals might decide to argue with someone who has already declared they are really quite annoyed.

Odd that they get something so basic so wrong!
Oh sorry forgot something else to add to the annoyance. The signed postal voting statement that is just a fraction too large to fit into the envelope is also marked "Do not fold".
Add in something very subjective that I'm also voting for someone to whom I really don't want to give my support simply because all the other options are so awful they're the least unpleasant option. How have we got to this state?

Sci-fi, usually Star Trek and it's many variants. The Star Ship is frequently shown traveling through a gaseous field of some sort, particularly in opening credits. But assuming the ship is a couple of hundred metres long and it's seen taking 2 to 3 seconds to travel it's own length through the cloud, it's pretty much stationary in space terms, 200-300mph, what feckin' use is that?
