and I hadn't seen a bloody cockroach for four days, I went out on the back balcony last night for a well earned cigar and there's two on the outside of the bug shield watching our rass in the shower. The pervy bastards.
So I went and fetched the mosquitocutor (TM and ((c)PK)) and zapped one of them but it just appeared to tickle it. One shot down the wall and under the washer and the other went up into the roller blind casing. Anyway ten minutes later, our rass is in the kitchen swearing (I think) and stamping about and she's mortalled one and the other has fled under the kitchen unit floor drain. I checks in the bathroom and there is cheeky Charlie sitting on the outside of the bug screen again so I gave him one in the midriff and he went sailing off into the blue although I did hear him land.
Obvious solution - shut the bathroom window. Does that, but you can't have the bug screen down and the window shut at the same time, the window handle gets in the way. I pulls the bug screen down as far as I can and THREE of the dirty fu ckers fall down between the screen and the window but I can't lock the screen, it's on a return spring.
So, I'm screaming like a girl and trying to hold the screen down one handed, our rass comes motoring in and leathers two with her flip flop, picking them up by the antennae and dropping them in the crapper (THAT'S courage in the face of adversity, take your shoe off when there's roaches about??? Yeah right....) while the other one fled into the roof space. I blocked the space off with a box that used to hold anti-ageing serum made from human placenta.
But that's another story.....
