Better a quick death, a soldier's death, than the lingering pain and misery my cat had planned for its victim.

I don't like it when insect are suffering either. Either kill it in one blow, or let it be. I'm enough of a hippie that I feel a little bit bad when killing any size of bug.
Except if it's a mosquito trying to prick me. That's a declaration of war.

It kind of depends on how much it's annoying me. I mean, I hate crane flies but if I saw one out in the garden I wouldn't actively go out of my way to kill it as long as it didn't get into the house. A spider in the house I can live with if it's small and stays the **** away from me. Bluebottles are targets every time, but to be honest I don't care if I kill them or just flick them out the window, just once they're gone. Ants are dead - I have spray for that, and you can't let them overrun your house anyway - and as I said, I run from wasps in the house, as well as bees. In essence, I'm such a big man and so brave that if it can't hurt me I'll kill it if I have to, if it can, I run the hell out of the way.

I had to look up what a bluebottle was. I'm pretty sure common house flies around here look exactly the same, but without the blue tint.

For some reason, I like regular flies as long as there's only one. Just like bumblebees, they're sort of cute.

Sometimes, I'll let one of those regular flies walk around on my hand and play with it, making it walk from finger to finger. Their buzzing reminds me of good old times at my grandparents farm when they were still alive.

Are you ****ing crazy? Those things walk in ****, carry disease, regurgitate .... urgh! And bluebottles are larger, louder and ****ing twice as annoying as flies, most of which are relatively small. I'm shuddering thinking of you letting one walk along your .... urrrrgggghhhh! Gonna be sick.

They are going to walk all over everything anyway. I'm not too concerned about what they've stepped in. How many nanograms of dirt could there be on the foot of a fly?
Some people keep their shoes on when going inside. That's thousands of times worse. I would like to swat people like that.

Ah ok, I know what a bluebottle is now. I don't like them. For some reason, I think of their smaller cousins as an entirely different thing.

Not if they're dead they're not.

No, then they're going to have walked over everything, then bleed their juices over whatever you flattened them on.

tfw you ride an old school rigid frame chopper for the first time.



My father has been building choppers since his early 20s. He built the bike in the foreground when I was about 10 years old and he has been waiting patiently for me to get my license and ride it ever since. I don't think I've ever seen him as happy as he was that day.

Nothing can prepare somebody for the intensity of a rigid frame chopper. The engines are mounted directly to the frame with bolts and washers, not a single rubber shock absorber, so you feel every twist of the throttle ripple outward through every bone in your body. It literally feels like blasting down the highway at 100 mph on a washing machine. The handlebars vibrate so much that if you don't hold them loosely your hands will be numb within minutes. Pure adrenaline.

You know your Pap's BA when he high fives you for passing him uphill at 180 km/h.
