Default I'd rather meet a troll.......

.......than those nasty black b*(%£"ds that are running around the place...... three of them in the shower, bold as brass........I sent The Bloke in with a flame thrower....then made him throw Draino down the shower outlet.......so instead of dying, another four came up and ran amok round the bathroom....
I don't care, I know they are harmless, but I hate them, they spook me,

I shall be the founder member of the Echo, the Expats Cockroach Hating Organisation, our aim being to abolish the little gits from the world.

The Bloke will back me up on this one - I'm now a bundle of nerves, and actually too scared to get in the bath in case another one appears from somewhere.... :scared: Someone bring me another pint of Schnapps........

No other solution then really .........emigrate! Oh shit....you've already done that!

Okay, get the bug man out and pay him extra for double dosing the buggers!

Oh, and if you decide not to step foot in your bathroom until they've all gone back to their little holes....it's a bit hot and sticky over there chuck, you'll be a bit riffy by Christmas! Tin bath...back yard...sorted!

These are the flying buggers - first one I met flew into my face, then landed on my keyboard, mid-post.....! (not as bad as Bondipom, they were breeding inside his keyboard.). These gits like the bait things, so we have to wait to view them, then spray like hell. The place is very cheap rent, very dodgy landlord, all cash etc, so I daren't make too many waves. The odd or two is fine, I can cope, but tonight was just OTT.

I've now braved the roach den and had a good long bath, armed with wine bottle and mobile phone, ready to call for help! There is a heavy saucepan over the shower outlet, and I can almost hear them underneath...."altogether now, heave......!". Tomorrow I shall be shopping for something nuclear, and looking for a pet Huntsman

Oh Poll, you poor thing.

I'd definitely say you were at desperate measures if you're getting a huntsman involved

Shame your cockies aren't as amiable as this little guy! Ever thought of breaking out the VB?
