Damn! he could make a few quid helping with Uni essays. Don't know how I'd have got by without inane filler.

It's quicker to read the book than wait for the punchline of the story my other half is telling

The point was I had an onion on my belt - which was the style at the time

****ing ants

They're everywhere at home. The slightest crumb or anything remotely sticky and they're all over it. Trying to get two teenagers to remember to clean up after themselves so there's nothing for the ants is doing my head in

****ing pain the arse

**** flys.

Just came back from Hedland and I must have swallowed a kilo of flys. ****en things are all over you.

All they need is a bit of garlic sauce.

I got woken up a couple of hours ago and haven't been able to get back to sleep. Morning alarm goes off in an hour

That's when you'll be able to get back to sleep

Midnight snack - they get stuck in the jam


In all seriousness if your kids aren't little, try and find where they are coming in and put a mixture of sugar and borax in a jar lid near that area and they will eat from that and take the borax back to the nest

Borax sounds like a good idea

Thanks

When girls tell you that she's "not looking for a relationship right now" when really they mean "Sorry, I don't want to date you". I'd rather the cold hard truth, but that's probably too much to ask.

a rejection is a rejection, its generally a tough thing for both parties involved, and most people feel cruel being blunt about it. the end result is the same tho.

Yeah I get that. I'm not expecting them to sit down and give me constructive criticism but sometimes I'd like to know where things went wrong. Obviously it's not something I'd expect from them or feel that I'm owed that, but it'd be nice for the peace of mind.

Doctors. You can turn up at 9.30am and the campaigners will still be an hour behind.

And what about if you have dogs?

Then don't use it

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Put it in places the dogs can't get to.

I've always found Antrid very effective (I think it contains borax). It looks like honey and you just put a bit in an old jar lid and put it on the corner of the bench or wherever the ants are coming from. Works a treat. May need to do it a couple of times if your ant problem is very bad but it definitely works.

Amdro worked for me mate. Still have some ant traffic but nowhere near as bad what it was ! I just don't think we can ever fully be rid of the little ****s

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

How do I get rid of the ants then

 

[Biggie]

My father seems to talk with a thesaurus planted up his arse in perpetuity.

Some of the words he uses and ways he describes up just make you wince. Someone wasn't drunk, they imbibed prodigiously and unencumbered. Someone wasn't unhappy, they were less than joyously delighted in abundance.

Very grating at times. Just spit it out, papa.
