Forming Attachments

If you are attracting newcomers, Tesco isn’t what you need :twisted:

Tesco is for me, Pixie.

Pick up some bleach then, and you’ll find that woman appearing from thin air!

I don’t need the woman, I’ve got my flies.

I have just one fly in my living room at the moment Harbal. He/she? (How can you tell?) only arrived this morning so I’m not emotionally attached in any way. It’s one of those dopey looking things that limp around the house and keep landing on my arm in the same spot, despite the fact that I have tried swatting it several times with the TV remote.

I have nicknamed it Dopey B******s or DB for short.

If it’s on the phone, it’s a she…

I’ve made an observation. Actually, I’m always making observations, but they are normally too trivial to mention. This observation just made it under the bar, but not without bumping its head.

The original two flies (A&B) completely ignored each other. No interaction whatsoever. This new pairing, however, is quite different. When fly A died -although it could have been fly B that died; it’s hard to say- and fly C took its place, the two behaved just the same as A&B did. But now, they seem to have teamed up, and they also seem to be having a negative influence on one another. It’s as if they are egging each other on. The behaviour of both fly B and fly C is far naughtier than was the case with fly A and fly B. They are walking on far more forbidden surfaces. I think it may be necessary for me to take action.

You are clearly having a bad influence on them, Harbal. They were good and decent flies before they came to you. Now you have ruined them!

@Pixie Knuckles

Now you have ruined them!

Not yet, Pixie, but I fear it may be imminent.

[Longdogs]

They sound like a couple of fly-by-nights.

[Aerolor]

What will you do if they lay eggs and have babies Harbal. Flies are notoriously bad at parenthood. :shock:

If they carry on as they are, they won’t be flying at all by tonight. :twisted:

I don’t know what I’ll do, but I will do something.

Without sounding cruel…

have you thought about getting one of those disgusting looking fly sticky strips that you can hang up wherever you wish to view them slowly and horribly in sticky glue stuck fast…imagine the fun with one of those…no fly by just stuck up…end up with a collection, like some people collect dead butterflies and mount them…on mountables

I’ve been trying to swat them with a rubber glove for the past hour. It’s unbelievable how fast the little sods can move. Their reflexes are quicker than lightning. :shock:

I’m so impressed, I’m tempted to let them off.
