More cats definatly, a whole ROOM for cats (& maybe some icecream freezers
) lots of tiny kittens that I can come & fuss but not have to clean up after.....

Ooooh that sounds like a brilliant idea! Of course, the big ice cream tubs are all for me, the taste size are for everyone else.More cats definatly, a whole ROOM for cats (& maybe some icecream freezers
And more Black Kitties!

Went to Apedale Community Country Park today in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, where I was attacked by a million brown/black biting flys - what the hell are they? They drew blood but are quite small, slightly smaller than a house fly? Anyone know how to deter them?
Flys & biting insects never used to bite me, they always headed for the husband, but since becoming diabetic I seem to attract them like crazy, Ive been attacked by midges & horse flys all week in the garden & a few of these little brown/black flys, but today was like a scene from 'The Birds', but with flys
Help!

Got bitten by one of them at Curborough the other week. Little sod drew blood but apart from that everything seemed OK.
Until the next morning...

Not quite everyone - the ones that didn't get you that week came a few miles further down the coast to where I was and got me!!

Were you both by water? In the garden they only attack me in the paddling pool, and this afternoon I was by a large pool.....they didnt attack me later in.the afternoon when I was away from the water....
This is what it looks like.....although it says they dont bite..... http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flesh_fly
The ones that bit me hurt, made blood run down my leg - after theyve finished it doesnt hurt to much - until you touch it, then it itches & swells like crazy for hours!
Faffin vampire flies!

Sure was - and I have evidence!
Spent the whole day around Dolgoch Falls - so it was my own fault really! My bites weren't very big, but there were loads and they were itchy for weeks before they completely healed...

Not always much with the forward thinking, these Biologists, are they?
Why on earth would you waste such a fantastic name as 'flesh fly' on something that doesn't tear into flesh? Shurely 'carrion fly', or some such, would have freed up the name for a fly more deserving of it?
We would still have -
