The Flies Have It.

[Shot]

Sure seems to be a lot of flies these days following the rain. I was a little bored today, and counted them. I came up with 32,541,227,803 on Phuket. This of course is not an exact number, because a few died (or were murdered), and some were born while I was counting.

One fell into my beer a few mins ago.

Are they dead or just drinking your beer? I want to adjust the numbers if needed.

Yes, here in Kamala too. They are now hiding in laundry that is drying. Never seen that before.

[BabyJebus]

been told that wearing those little anti-static pads for the washing machine on you will get rid of them

I thought that the Royal Artillery killed them all in India in 1940? That's what my dad told me.

And Spike Milligan.

And that is just the ones that are registered on the tabian baan here. Most are immigrant worker flies or from other provinces.

Phuket police are treating this incident as suicide.

What, did it have its wings tied together behind it back?

Reported in a news source that we are not allowed to mention on this forum.

There is a fly convention being held on Phuket this week.

Phuket MICE (Meetings/Incentives/Conventions/Events) will stage the convention. The article states that Phuket is going to be "the hub" of fly conventions in the future.

Due to members "flying" in, the tuk-tuks were unable to blockade the airport, and were angry the flies had organised their own transport.

Of course, with so many coming for the convention, there would have to be a tragedy. Forum member, Hans Gruber, has already reported a drowning. More tragedy is expected over the next week.

The flies will visit Bangla Road on their stay, thus, living up to their their name, "Bar Flies."

The TAT has stated the "REAL" number of flies attending this convention is not 32,541,227,803, as reported by the OP, but 986,687,964,253,539,823,614.

Shops owners have reported a huge increase in the sale of repellant and have tripled the cost of each can accordingly, although Thai's will still pay the usual price.

Patong Police will be out in force, as Patong is now a "Safety Zone" and will have a "crackdown" on "flying" without a helmet and will be too busy doing this duty to investigate assaults, drug dealing, stabbings, murders, thefts etc.

At the moment I stay in mosquito territory even called Bang Niang (north of Khao Lak). I hate the bastards...

They go in for a taste and sometimes fall in but I rescue them to rescue my beer.

[Old Croc]

Perhaps Hans should cut down on the crushed mosquito coil in his beer...

Looking forward to some more Dengue and Chikungunya then.

I'm not! I already had Chikungunya for over two years. At least I can't get it again, but there are three strains of Dengue I would rather not catch!

Chikungunya isn’t that bad. Really not much worse than being run over by a cement truck…………17 times.

I don't think I would wish on anyone. Other than the doctors that said I could work and disallowed my disability claim!
