    Mosquitos. There's a lot of them about!

    I went out last night in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Today I have about a dozen scars and bloody scabs. Itching away!!

    My father-in-law who also came out. Not a sausage, not a single bite.

    Mosquitos, like drunks, daddy long legs and members of the local BNP seem to be drawn to me like a moth to a flame. I once had to receive treatment in a hospital in Spain for Christs sake?

    Does anyone have any foolproof solutions(apart from wearing chainmail and a helmet) on not getting bitten when wearing speedos and a crop top at the pub?

    They only bite people who are loud and don't wash a lot.

      Grow more body hair.

      That's the conclusion I've come to as they like my blood also.

      Alternatively eat loads and loads of Marmite.

        Are you sure they are mozzies? Did you see 'em? If you've come out in big lumps it'll be blackfly and the only way to keep the sods off you is to use insect repellant.

          Lemon or other citrus smelling stuff......... cheapest probably squeeze a lemon into several pints of water then spray from one of those.... well spray bottle thingies..... before you go out...

          If "caught short" at the pub just steal a slice of lemon from a girly drink and (subtly) rub it over bare skin.....

            They never bother me. Must be my ultra thick Celtic skin that puts them off. They make a beeline for Mrs SB too....which is nice!

              Right. I don't mind suggestions. But I do draw the line at suggestions that are going to make me smell like Gin & Tonic or a poofs handbag! And before we get into the whole 'homophobe' debate, some of my best mates are mincers so leave it! Alright!

                Yes, bring the wife. She's an excellent decoy.

                  As a serious aside, bring a Celt. The mosquitos aways prefer our skin..... that has always been my experience.

                    Sit with the chain-smokers. They don't like smoke.
