h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

While I was making my breakfast this morning a sodding great mozzer alighted on my cutting board. Quick as a flash I swatted at it but not quick enough. I didn't see it fly off but there were no body parts when I took my hand away so I must have missed it.

A while later I was doing some cleaning in the bathroom, and out of the corner of my eye I noticed it on the shower curtain. What's more it was in the fold of the shower curtain so it was pretty easy to get my hands either side of it without it seeing anything and... SLAP!

Result! One dead mozzer, and it hadn't had a feed of blood lately so there was no red mess on the white cloth curtain that I would probably have had a hard time trying to clean off and even then not removed completely, so double result

Good on you!

I knew you'd be pleased about that

The craftiest skeeters are those I find on the inside of my windshield of my car. They some how manage to end up between my knuckles every time I try to back hand them. And they also tend to know when I'm too busy watching the road to be able to swat them. Once I'm at a stoplight, they dive down to the crevice.

Strange, I always imagined that you had hello kitty curtains... mosquitos plague me when I'm at my Father's, in the fens, they're not such a problem in the city here though thank BoB...

Y'all don't know what a plague of mosquitoes is like. We call it summer here on the Gulf Coast.

Seriously, when my dad was a teen, screen doors would blacken with them and everyone wore bandanas and kerchiefs over their noses when outside.

It's better now (unless you're a firefly), but still can get pretty brutal between sprayings.

By the way, Gosho. You're the star of a comic strip this week.

(Two more days to go)

Actually 2legs, I do... but don't tell anyone

I keep toying with the idea of replaceing my boring blue shower curtain, with an hello kitty, or soemthing simular, style one... Just to annoy the heck out of my lodger

What about a curtain? I'm sure there must be someone that sells those... and if there isn't, then I see a marketing opportunity

yeeeees! a shower curtain with ickle pretty little potential breakfasts err... piggies on it!

Exactly! What better to get you in the mood for breakfast than a shower curtain with bacon on it

So many choices. http://www.cafepress.com/+bacon+shower-curtains

Blimey

Although at $44 for a shower curtain I'd be tempted to just make one out of the real thing

damn... thats expensive for a shower curtain! I may have to go for the hello kitty one afterall... they seemed to be very inexpesnive on a certain auction website

That's not the ONLY source for Bacon Shower Curtains. It's just the first one that came up on my web search. Don't give up hope.

I don't think I can do it though; I now have the immage, of a shower-curtain, made of actual* bacon, sewn together in my head I'm not sure though, if the idea may actually disturb me too much for it to be a good idea

I once had a pure black shower curtain (by design, not by dirt or mildew ). It didn't let a bit of light in, and you could hardly see a thing in the shower. After I got used to that I started to quite like it - it was like climbing into a little relaxing cocoon or something. Very and mellowing.

A black curtain would be a sensible option here.... to say the mildew here is probably holding half the tiling in the bathroom in place... I can't ever seem to get on top of it, and its always back so* quickly, you can't even spend a day to do one section of tiling, beofre doing another the next day, and its already back on the first lot... They must put something mildew love to eat, in the grouting the idiots who put in my bathroom used
Mind, the black curtain wouldn't matter here, too much light wise; the curtain gos across the side of the bath, and the other long side of the bath, has a window above it, a little above waist height...

Well, at least it's *above* waist height...
