Escaped maggots


The Flying Tench

Recommended Posts

Funnily enough I've just survived several days nagging over Christmas because of the number of bluebottles that were buzzing around in the garage.

 

Especially as my aged Mother-in-Law was in residence and the downstairs loo is in the garage!

 

I think that I finally got away with explaining that a mouse or something must have died in there, under all those bits of old bicycles etc :)

 

But then I took out a fishing bag yesterday, and found a handfull of chryslis cases amongst the mildewed bread slices in the bottom!

 

OOps! That reminds me, I went fishing yesterday, and the bags been in the hall all night!!

I once left a bait box of pinkies in a tent. All the next day I found them everywhere! Even after taping the holes, they still get out!

 

 

Another time, I left a box with only about 100 in the greenhouse, 3 weeks later I found it.... full. As you can guess the originals had turned into fly's and laid eegs, which have hatched and ate the dead originals, and that has continued. Being in a greenhouse, well, another week or so and the lid would have come off. Suffice to say, the bait box was burned with them inside, I couldn't bare to open it fully!

As no one else seems to be going to ask the obvious.

How the hell does Davy get pinkies on them great big hooks he uses. How many does it take to tempt an average Skate(although i gather he dosn't catch average ones). And finaly does he use any particular additive fishy or otherwise?

a pint of pikies, now those little fellas will make quite a mess! selling clothes pegs and tarmacing your drive    

Don't do drives now, too much like hard work. Now its a quick job cloaking fascias and bargeboards with instantly discolouring u.p.v.c.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle
