Invasion - Fruit Flies Conquer the World

[cisono]

Is anyone else experiencing an invasion of fruit flies?

I got a couple together with a punnet of peaches. Within a day, there were dozens of them flying around my kitchen. They seem to like my (yet fruitless) tomato plants and every day that goes by there are more and more of them (flies, not tomatoes).

Any idea how to get rid of them without utilising dangerous chemicals?

Maybe next time, give the "Free Fruit Flies" promotion as miss?

The Comedians

UK, ITV (Granada), Standup, colour, 1971

Remarkably popular in its early years, The Comedians was standup humour plain and simple. Recruited from the hard-drinking northern night-clubs that were their staple environment, Granada put the North's best 'unknown' comics into the studio - even though some had been working for 20 years many were appearing on TV for the first time - taped their (expletives-deleted) acts and edited the material into non-stop barrages of cracks and quips to slay the audiences at home, packing up to 50 jokes into each half-hour show. True, many of the lines were so old that they creaked, and there was a fair dose of racist, sexist and physical-defect material that was only just acceptable then and would not be so today, but mostly the jokes were of the three-men-in-a-bar, Irishman and mother-in-law variety. Viewers took to the show with enthusiasm and from those first few golden series many stars were born, among them Frank Carson (a bluff Ulsterman), Colin Crompton (a weedy northerner), Ken Goodwin (a stutterer), Charlie Williams (a black Yorkshireman), Bernard Manning (a portly clubman), Tom O'Connor (the boy next door), Jim Bowen (a stone-faced ex-deputy headmaster), Lennie Bennett (a giggler), MacBeth (a FoxesTalk thread contributor) and Mike Reid (a cockney), all of whom found their nightly fees skyrocketing from around £50 to £1000 or more.

I'd just use some dangerous chemicals and be done with it.
