The fella in that photo was born on a council estate in Brixton, has lived all his life on a council estate on Brixton and even worked at the Albert for a while, so he's got a full deck of Brixton cred cards

Still no Clint Eastwood in there (not that you didn't know exactly what I meant anyway).

I don't know who the guy is, I wasn't talking about him, it's the selection of pictures.

Yesterday i was bitten by a flying insect in Brockwell Park. It's the second bite in as many weeks, the other one was not local. Both bites have caused bad swelling at the puncture point. I'm normally immune to insect attacks.
Try real Lemon Juice on the bite
That may be how you roll, all I have to do is lie down at 90 degrees to the direction of slope, then push.
Does not compute, unless the gravel was shovelled loose into a standardised measure, then heavily compacted as it was bagged. I could swear there's been something in the air, bringing out rogue ebay sellers in droves this last month.

I think there are horseflies or similar in the park- I know a couple of people who've had horrible bites recently.
Thanks, i have a lemon. I Googled it just to make sure it wasn't a wind up. will give it a go.
The lemon, an excellent disinfectant for insect bites and sore throats.

Or antihistamine cream, and stock up on insect repellant.
The only time I've had such a bad reaction was a Polish mozzie bite last summer - It stayed swollen and full of gunk for long enough to leave a scar. BTW don't get me wrong, I get bitten pretty badly by midges, gnats, and horseflies, but that's quantity not severity.

eat garlic and take a B12 supplement. Apparently it makes you less tasty. Works for me, I used to be insect-magnet.
Them Polish mosquitos coming over here drinking our blood.......
I'd like to say that was a better reply than any you managed yesterday but you barely broke a sweat against two of us.

I'm going to have a nightmare about that
Glad that it works for you, I already do both, no change. *adds jungle formula to the urgent list*
That one was over there - the bloody cheek of it!

basically a scrotum
Just been getting annihilated by mozzies in the garden - first time this year.
Thankfully they are not as bad as Welsh midges. Just a couple of bites from those pin prick sized beasts and my alter ego of Michelin man starts to emerge.
ETA - not really annihalated, to be fair. A few bites around the ankles.
