I notice you have "ARSE BISCUIT" in your signature line - is it an arse biscuit casserole?

T'would explain the flies. Actually the beef on top has gone crusty and is sticking to the side. You might be onto something - moral don't cook drunk.

I think Big Dave needs to stop bugging us over this! I dunno if any of the ideas will fly, but I think its all part of his web of nefarious ways to ensnare hapless bikers.

actually you would need to know the average temperature and amount of daylight to have an accurate calculation
What I was wondering is; why are there always more bugs going thru Huntley?

The swamps between there and Ohiniwai?

Mainland is generally buggier.

Quoth the universal Australian idiom:
No flies on you Joe.
But you can see where they have been.

:-P

Well it apparently deflects rain - should deflect a few bugs too shouldn't it?

The question remains: "If I spray my helmet with flyspray, will it kill more bugs?"...

Research funding, anyone?

How big a fly swatter would that equal?

The size of the fly swatter would still be "say .75sq m"

The question is how many flies would it kill through a 100 linear km

Despite you being a person of considerable bulkitudiness, I fail to see how you collected any bugs at all, given that me and the GSX1400 killed every flying insect in the world yesterday evening, I counted 3 million and 17 on my visor alone.

I have calculated the answer to your question using a slide rule and a bag of marshmallows, without wanting to appear to be a girly swat, the answer is three and a half chickens! I'm right, you know it

What do I win please mister.

Ask any farmer and they'll tell you the answer.

Which is to say ... bugs are strongly attracted to shit!
