I am master fly killer, well almost. I can almost bruce lee catch with chopsticks. Instead of chopsticks i use my fingers lol.  A good cleanup game is required.

 

Fly swats are handy!

Mrs. FFF bought me one of those electric fly zapper things. They are a electified mesh that electrocute tiny flying creatures.

I had a wasp fly into it last year. It went with a heck of a crack and spark and even a little smoke came from its still slightly moving body for a while

 

You would love it.

Edit: only takes a couple of batteries to operate.

Here's mine

Idiots marching in the streets, no masks and thousands strong. Marching for less rules and no lockdowns, despite their actions prolonging the need for Said rules and restrictions!

Spoilers that you can't avoid. Scrolling down a completely unrelated web page, and a headline jumps out at you, and by the time you've read, it, and realised you really didn't want to read it, you've absorbed it. 

 

A pretty minor, definitely first world problem, but an annoyance nonetheless.

Outdoors, fresh air makes sod all difference, like we have seen literally no evidence of spikes after all the media coverage of packed beaches.

BBC Football does this. Scorll down to the bottom of a match report on a Saturday evening, and it spoils anything you've been trying to avoid on the main Sports page by showing the headline storys at the bottom.

Probably wouldn't start reading match reports if you don't want to know the scores tbf

Not being allowed a day off work for a mates funeral and only being allowed to have a few hours off for the service as annual leave, when people have been off for months fully paid with naff all wrong with them. 

 

The way UK employers treat their staff is appalling.

Plenty of cases proven to be as a result of the euros and a packed Wembley. Case rates have rocketed in the last 4 weeks so I'd say your theory of 'its outside' is pretty far off. 

 

With cases rising comes more hospitalisations and deaths, usually a few weeks behind, as we're seeing now. 

 

Respiratory diseases spread in air droplets, air droplets exist anywhere.

Proven? Show me the proof or is it more assumptions? The original poster stated packed beaches and there being no spikes, which is true.

Anyways this is for the coronavirus thread 😊

You misunderstand. I read to the bottom of a football match report, and it has a headline underneath for the F1 qualifying, which I've recorded to watch later. I purposely avoid the main Sport section so I don't see it, then scroll to the bottom of  Wolves v Brighton and it gets spoiled.

The email from the club announcing the new away kit:

 

'Introducing Our New 2021/22 Away Kit ????'

 

They've gone full YouTuber by putting question marks in a title when there's absolutely no question that the title is accurately describing what the content is about. Probably bugs me more than it should to be honest.

This kind of thing annoys me too. Similar to the poster here who insits on putting three exclamation marks after the first sentence of every post, even when it makes absolutely no sense

They haven't, the ???? is a default thing on their email system which is meant to be filled with your name but if they don't have it on file (or it's badly managed) the question marks will appear instead.

 

Nope. Its an emoji.

They're definitely question marks in my Gmail app. Either way, Youtubers who put question marks in their video titles when not asking questions still grinds my gears

People who seem to spend their lives discussing the latest outrage caused by controversial political commentators they oppose.

 

You're keeping them relevant all so you can prove to the internet just how clever you are, you absolute idiots.

There is a BIG difference between packed concourses, sitting next to someone in a stadium for 2 hours and wandering down the street.
