ah flame throwers: The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

Dunno if this is true, but i was told that once you've been bitten by a mosquito they leave something in your blood thats like a tracer(not sure of what they were really saying, i dont know biology stuff!!). So, when others come along, they can detect you're a 'good meal' and hence they're more likely to bite you (compared to someone who hasnt been). So if you're the first person to be bitten on holiday before the rest of your group youre pretty f**cked. Probably a load of rubbish because it was a bit of a drunken/stoned conversation, but I thought it was funny anyway

Folks the "mosquitos" in ireland are in fact midges. REAL mosquitos are the size of flies and they really bite. You get rakes of them in scandinavia and also in texas, solution, don't go out on a still day, a nice bit of wind blows them to hell.....

my moan- i can't find my memory stick anywhere and it's got loads of my college work on it:(.

i didnt get any bites this evening thank god:)

Indy, I know the difference between a midge and mosquito. The creatures I was harrassed by in Kildare were mosquitos like this:



These are midges which are much smaller and also present on the site but far less annoying:

Actually the bites i've suffered lately are teh closest thing to Mozzie bites i've gotten since moving back here - also there is a large growth in the mosquito population in Ireland over the last couple of years.

why thank you DrIndy, for a while there i thought i actually knew something about what i was talking about, silly me! ill know better next time. :mad:
Mosquitoe are not the size of your average fly at all, they are much smaller and frailer. plus you cant mistake a mosquitos whine as it flies, its very distinct.

anyway, once again, i had to get out of bed twice last night to kill the ****ers! gggrrrrrrrrrrr

i heard that the mean temperature in Dublin has risen by a degree over the past 30 years(might be due to increased population and more buildings), that might be helping the midges/ mosquitos.
anyone ever squish a mosquito and see all the blood?

fade

yep. while it was suckin on me arm, it burst like an over ripe spot, eeeeuuuuuuuwwwwww

Wow. I was completely unaware that there were mosquitoes in Ireland..I know they're in the north of France and in some parts of England, but this is news to me. Has anyone tested them for diseases etc? I think I know the answer to this, but has the government done anything to stop their breeding?

Biting insects are horrible. A pox upon them!

to be honest, i wouldnt really worry about it. if there any sort of danger from it, we would be aware. why would the government d anything about their breeding, we are talking about an epidemic here, just a few insects! dont worry!!!!!!!!

Of note, malaria was endemic in the Thames valley in the middle ages and in fact was not eliminated from Europe entirely until the 1940's.

The mosquitos in England and europe can still carry malaria if given the chance!

hrm well havent been to any in a while due to living in the pav and doyles all year long but here's my two cents.. i know a lot of people who go to graces so used to end up there a lot but tbh the place kinda annoys me, especially since the music they play has always been so sh*te anytime ive been in there...so poppy and ugh. haydens is okay, havent been there that much, im not very sporty so thats probably why!! i like fletchers whenever i go there, never really went there that much back in the day because it sort of had an old mans pub rep, but then i guess it got a younger crowd so we investigated and i thought it was sound. so yeah fletchers is grand.

So is the world gonna end? lol



on a moan note, my best friend went away to the states for a year today, my bf is going away for 6weeks tomorrow as is another friend for 2weeks. ugh im jealous.

anytime ppl mention surfing i get a flashback of that sausage ad with the surfers, 'we look like posh students', with their surfer hair, having a fry before they set off to drive to the waves (maaaaan), then eating sausages and chips in the pub, wearing surfer hats (duuuuuude). i don't like that ad - and it's displaced my previous surfer mental image which was keanu reeves in 'point break' (yuuuuum).

snorlax

another insect bite me on the ankle and my whole ankle's swollen up and is real red and itchy.

(disclaimer to all insects: please leave me alone insects, i don't taste good .............)

snorlax

barely any secound round offers in TCD so means am out of job (at least for next week), most places were filled first round.

but on the plus side am likely to be working at freshers weeks throughout dublin the following week- UCD/ DCU and DIT, or possibly working with the Irish Wheelchair Association( if they ever get around to sending me my work contract:(), but they both will pay me well.
