My fruit fly 'community' is becoming problematic! At first there was about 100 of them, maybe even less. Now I'd say there's about 500 of them. I don't store old banana skins now and uneaten bananas are kept in a sealed, clear plastic bag. The flies missing the bananas and their skins have now moved onto my empty beer bottles. I know it sounds daft, but when I open a beer bottle they suddenly appear and mass on the kitchen cupboard door above the beer bottle. After a few minutes they start landing on the bottle and my glass. I have to cover both with things available like envelopes etc. I've had enough of them now and want shut. I tried leaving a banana skin on my outside window ledge yesterday while I went out. I left my window open hoping they'd all go for it and leave my kitchen, but when I got back 4 hours later not one fly was on the banana skin! All of the @'~#rs were still 'hanging out' on my kitchen cupboards. I don't want to use fly spray on them as they aren't really that annoying, but what else can I do?🤔

Online videos & photos that have a big red circle around, or a big red arrow, pointing out the hilarious/dodgy thing that you couldn't possibly work out on your own...

Is this trivial I ask? Last night in the pub around the corner I went outside to the smoking area to watch the England football match. Not to have a ciggie, but to escape the must've been 300 in the packed to the rafters pub. My moan is about the amount of snow/ice out there! The 5 wooden steps leading to some seats where the tv is were absolutely treacherous!! I had to grind my foot into the ice to get a semi foothold for every step. I even had to ask someone to link arms with me for stability. Ok, this pub must've took thousands through the till last night, so why didn't they spend a few quid on salt/grit to make it safe out there?!:headshake:

When I right-click I get a left-click about 70% of the time. :cursing::cursing::cursing:

The fact that it’s being filmed from the driving seat of a moving car in patently unsafe conditions?

Ah, yes. When you said the second part, I thought you mean the part not on the road, rather than the part where the road footage was from a moving vehicle.

Certainly illegal to be filming that, though at the speeds involved not particularly unsafe.
