Bamboo can be bought from the likes of gardening centres as plant supports. A few years ago I made bamboo cane pens from the plant support canes. 10 x 4ft canes cost me £0.99. Thats the bamboo i was thinking about, maybe we need to have a flyswatter building competition lol.

It has to go through the customs and paperwork which ever place it come from. Thats why there is a row about it and nightly riots on our streets Really? Northern Ireland is now separated from the rest of the UK AND from the EU? How is smuggling from the Republic going? (Seriously, when laws get too crazy, reasonable people need to disobey them.)

N.I. is both IN and Out of both the UK and EU. Confused?, so are we. I no longer do any smuggling, latest smuggling, afaik, has just been fuel, alcohol drinks, tobacco and illegal type drugs.

Hardly any mosquitos here but we have a big black non-biting midge. One thing about this island is there are no insects or animals that want to injure or kill a person. Even the sharks along the coast are friendly - they are Basking Shark and they only eat plankton Here where we live, we don't have mosquitos either. Too hot, dry and windy (sometimes all at one time). Nor do we have skunks, living above the irrigation canal. I'm sure there are a few kicking about out in the sagebrush, but I've only seen one in 35 years. What we DO have is hordes of Wetsiders from what they call "The Greater Seattle Area", that descend on us and make life a nightmare. I'd actually prefer the mosquitos and skunks. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

I like to take them on the wing. There's the old tale of Creekbottom Joe, his paw and grandpaw. They've got a fly problem, so Joe chaws some plug, and lets fly. Down comes a fly. "Dang, boy" says his paw, "ya gotta practice." His shot nails six. "Children!" contributes grandpappy. His doesn't down a thing, and the fly goes on its way, buzzing in a high pitched tone. Joe and his pa eventually stop laughing. "I thought you said..." gasps the lad. " Well it was a kind act" grandpaw replies. "It'll never breed again, though." Quote
