I don't know how I'll deal with moths if I do.

Help me...

Simple. Don't eat the moths.

But they're just so damn tasty.

Plus: They are not bigger than your head

Do something like that every day.

How very boy-scout of you

I may be the only person ever to have saved a life with a sheet of Tesco Ultra Absorbent Kitchen Towel.

I usually just use my finger for that. Drowning, they'll grab on anything. And even if it's a wasp or bee or spider, they'll never sting you in that kind of situation.
As for those that keep banging their heads onto my windows trying to get out, I use a glass and a sheet of paper to let them out. This is something I have to do all the time now in the summer, there's every kinds of them here, moskitoes, flies, moths, grasshoppers, ants, spiders, everything. Why do they keep crashgating into my house I have no idea. There's such a beautiful world for them outside.

A friend of mine once told me 'Ness, don't be too open minded.....your brains will fall out'

Bloody moths!

Proof, if any were needed, that any old numpty can write a self-help book.
There could be some good money in that for you, Timothy!

That's the least offensive insult ever thrown at me!

And there's the worst

back to moths/crane-flies/assorted night-time flutterlets:
when i was living in the back of my truck i came to despise them.being semi-nocturnal and often living miles from the shops,at least once a week you could guarantee that while it was still dark a) i would find myself on my last candle;b) the very cheap,brand new lighter that i expected to last forever would pop its flint; c) an enormous moth would fly into said candle and extinguish it,before crash-landing into the bowl of cornflakes i was about to eat.

today's advice:wear goggles when examining corroded brake-pipes on your vehicle;or spend 2hours washing brake fluid out of your eyes,whilst thinking you are going blind...like i just did

That's just totally disenchanted my dream of living on the road.

Silly man, understand your situation though - how are things going?....Keep a cool head about it though

@ nick-there's two things to remember with regards to whatever you've heard about living on the road:
it sounds worse than it is.
and its far worse than it sounds.
(stangely these are both true).

@ Madame Butterfly-were you talking to me?if so,i'm fine (thank-you for asking).and whilst being a twitchy gobsh1te on the outside,inside i'm always icey cool. how about you?glad you're still with us...variety is the spice of life,non?

@ eastmidswhizzkid - Indeed kind Sir, and all is well with me thank-you for asking

Probably met some of your *brothers* on the street and yes helped them out then too.....

What's up for tonight.....can't seem to find a posting of mine....hmmm

though i'm all for helping people on the street,etc. living on the road was my choice.and i'm very choosy about who i call "brother".

i'm afraid a lot of posts have ended up in the trash-can...but nothing to stop you posting again (within Quiffys guidelines here)
be good now...

Good Advice-Foil fiddling taxi drivers by taking polaroid photos of street signs as you pass them.At the end of your journey you can confront him with evidence if he has taken an unnecessarily long route .

You have to "dig" things constantly.
