Apparently Avon skin so soft is the best repellent. I’ve never used it myself but the coffee shop at Crinnan used to sell it. Must be something in it because that is midge country.
Crap call. FJ. I am now being eaten alive by pigeons.
Surely ptarmigan. Pigeons are so common and numerous.
David, David, David! You don't mean to say you've abandoned TT Week to go to that there London!!!
I suspect more ptarmigan are bitten by members than do the biting (perhaps not for seniors as shot can damage dental work). The club is frequented by Parakeets (sort of industrial budgerigars) but as far as I know have not bitten anyone (well, maybe an oik or two over the fence in the park but that doesn't count).
Not the happiest of TTs, Phil. Wet, wet, wet. The bikers don't seem to be that worried though. Some in the pub on Friday remarked that anyone coming and not prepared for the worst shouldn't bother. Did Bushy's "TT Village" for the first time last Saturday. Excellent pint for GBP 3 even if one has to drink it from a plastic. Unfortunately music started at 1830 instead of the 1930 advertised, fled to somewhere quieter.
Good one (Applause)
----'biking', back in 1952, 'McDonalds' would refer to a family of Jocks and had sfa to do with eating!
That would be OK - I prefer Tchaikovsky to Jazz! (Jester)
Don't they know that it has been reported that there is a massive decline in the presence of flying insects throughout Europe. They are deliberately ignoring the experts!
