    Spider mite, spider mite. Does whatever a spider might.

    I also called them bloodsuckers when I was a child. We used to think they would suck you dry. Now as an adulthood, I find the thought of being sucked dry quite appealing for some reason.

    you have to video yourself running around your back garden naked, and post it in the funny vids section before you have permission to post new threads.


    right guys ??

    We used to use the rather more prosaic 'red ants'. We used always squish them to the Pink Panther theme tune, going 'red ant, dead ant, red ant, dead ant, red ant, red ant dead aaaaaaaaant, red ant, dead ant.'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 263 ✭✭marxcoo


    bloodsuckers!! the most deadly creatures in Ireland.

    Heard it used for beetles and earwigs too.

    Yep, we called them bloodsuckers too. Use to love seeing them as a kid as they heralded the real beginning of summer.

    If you get a piece of chalk you can draw little mazes on the ground and force them to run around in them (they won't cross the chalk for some reason). Then if you find ants (they won't be able to cross the chalk either) you can drop one or two ants into the maze and you have your own little gladiators to cause havoc in your Chalk Colosseum.

    {I was an odd child}.

    did this with snails and salt... i think after a couple of summers we basically bred straight trailing snails. used to put a drop of someones sister nailvarish on them so we could tell the 'teams'... winners/survivors were always put back on the wall for next year!

    blast yourself with piss...

    or i think maybe AH needs a user to have 10 posts before you can start a thread. Stops spammers i guess

    And I remember bullying you...

    Oh how I loved smashing those dumb ant mazes....Muhuhaha

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?
