UK Has Same Problems As Australia
 
What hope is there for a returning POM I was hoping to leave these behind , the little sods have beat me back .






Ouch ... giant mosquito



King-size mozzies hit UK
SWARMS of super-mozzies are causing chaos at holiday hot spots.

The outsize insects are plaguing sunbathers on the east coast of Yorkshire and Humberside.

Experts say they could have blown across from the flood-hit continent.

And they warned that the plague could spread across the UK due to the warm, wet weather in the North and Midlands.

Mosquitoes twice as large as usual have caused misery in Germany and Austria.

In the Czech Republic, several cows have bled to death from the huge number of bites.

On the UK east coast at Cleethorpes, Lincs, one victim said: “I had a bite that swelled to the size of an egg.�

Another said: “My family were on the beach and the mozzies just came down like a cloud.

“They were everywhere, even getting in our mouths.�

If I can handle my blood sucking agent,I'm sure I can handle a flamin' mozzie

Hey, now posting news paper articles seems the fashionable thing to do (as well as guaranteeing your kid a lifetime of abuse by giving him a stoopid name),can I post an article from the Sunday sport involving silicone & suffocation!
