        You are NOT wrong on this. They must be driving the builder bonkers today as they are me and I'm in the house!
        Think as it's the first day for about 3 years that it hasn't rained here they have all decided to come out for a parteee

          Well I've seen a horse fly
          I've seen a dragon fly
          I've seen a house fly
          (Laughing)
          I’ve seen all that too

          I've seen a peanut stand,
          Heard a rubber band,
          I've seen a needle that winked it's eye.
          But I be done seen about everything
          When I see a Thunder Fly
          What you say boy?
          I said when I see a Thunder Fly

          I seen a front porch swing,
          Heard a diamond ring,
          I seen a polka-dot railroad tie.
          But I be done seen bout everything
          When I see a Thunder Fly

          Ratatatatt Dooo Dooo Dooww Wowww

          I seen a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck
          And they tell me a man made a vegetable truck
          I didn't see that, I only heard
          But just to be sociable, I'll take your word.

          I heard a fireside chat,
          I saw a baseball bat
          And I just laughed till I thought I'd die.
          But I'd been done seen about everything
          When I see a Thunder Fly

          Bow Shaa Badadada Dee Doo
          Yeedadaddadat Datatat Dadadada

          But I'd be done seen bout everything
          When I see a Thunder Fly
          (Yes it will)
          When I see a Thunder Fly

            HW I agree what is the point of the blasted things, they serve no purpose except to irritate the hell out of peeps.........

            AND somehow they always get into your ears.......

                Are these the teeny tiny little black things, last year they were everywhere, even getting into the monitors but apart from a few last Saturday haven't seen too many.

                  I hate it when they walk over my glasses... it's weird having a blurry blob moving about near your eyes!

                    we have had loads of them, the come in swarms. I have had to vacum them from the ceilings and walls a couple of times already when I left the kitchen door open and they swarmed in

                    I now have one as a permanent reminder .... it somehow got behind the screen on my laptop and is stuck there

                        Nice one TEB, I enjoyed that.

                        Thunder flies - never heard of them. Googled, and they seem to be thrips. Don't have them. My DH says he knows them as corn ants. Glad we don't have them.

                        From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

                          I think they're also known as Thrips. I posted about a month ago that I've got one (now deceased) inside my poota screen. Had several more in there since but they're still moving about and have now gone since I turned it on - probably too warm!

                          They drive me daft, I'm scratching like a flea-bound dog now at the thought of them

                            Yes Alice, they are thrips. I haven't seen any yet this year but I do agree they are horribly irritating. Fortunately they don't seem to bite like mozzies and gnats, but I'm keeping the Anthisan tube in my jacket pocket this time of year anyway. I react really badly to bites and stings.
