About the blowtorch Gummy.
It’s only a small torch I use for fine soldering, about a 4 inch flame, the ants are so light that they frizzle up well before anything around can catch fire, a few flicks of the wrist with the flame and Bobs yer Uncle, wouldn’t even heat the cable box. In the Summer when I’m using the small torch and if any fly dares to approach the bench I’m on him in an instant and he frizzles in mid air, I’m a dab hand at it by now.
I got a bigger torch for burning weeds in the garden, any ants that see that coming make a bee line for the cover of the rockery, after a while they're all out dancing the Hot Rock and then it’s showtime with the flame thrower. I just love blowtorches and melting stuff, especially gold, a wonderful sight is molten gold, I never tire of looking at it.
Hard borders, soft borders, makes no difference to me Gummy, the wife does all the wallpapering in this house.
I’ve lived through both types of borders and it really doesn’t make any difference as far as I’m concerned, I didn’t even know how they work as I’ve never crossed over. We never go further than Dundalk when we’re heading North, South and West are our favourite destinations.
From what I gather from the vast majority of younger folks they are just happy that we are staying in the EC club, after all it’s their future, and if they’re happy then I’m happy too.
