A fine brace of umlauts you have there, Herr Bock, and a correctly spelled messer. Yes, the bubble cars I faintly recall, although Heinkels were the common ones and the beamer crowd at bayern motor werk had a model too, I think.

Well, gemütlichkeit I can live with. Also, if you remember, those amazing Messerschmitt bubble-cars. Krupp I'm not so happy about.

Über Alles, I'm afraid, they still sing.

Live with the flies, so. Incidentally the proprietary brand is ‘Aeroxon’… made in Germany. The same volk that brought you the messerschmidt and Krupps, und Uber Alles. Gemutlich, ja?

I have two sticky whatsits hanging up right here and now. Get ‘em in any all-purpose shop in a country town. Newcastlewest would be a good bet. When they’re done you can scape ‘em off and use it on toast. Consistency of honey, with protein bits, mmm…

Cap’n: Indeed. That was truly the low point of your career. You know what they say: a shut mouth catches no flies.

Rambling Man: They exist so that we can smash them with rolled-up newspapers.

Conan: So that’s where they were coming from!
Jesus, those old fly-papers. Can you still buy them? And what about those poison aerosols we used to spray everywhere in our homes? A small shot of nerve-gas never hurt anyone.

Do up yer flies man, and stop complaining.

ps…get one of them old-style hanging sticky fly catching thingamys. Then kick back with a beer and watch the feckers go slowly to the hereafter. Better than telly. [this is not recommeded for Buddhist types who will see a dreadful karmic future resulting from this]

I wholeheartedly agree with this. T’was a murky night near Carpenter’s Cove when I spotted a vessel moored of shore. Rousing the crew from their rum-sodden sleep, I intended to plunder the living fuck out of the boat. I was about to yell YYAAARRR. I mean, I was really working up to a lung-bursting YYAAARRR that would strike fear into the hearts of this vessel’s crew when a fucking bluebottle flew straight into my mouth. The result was a less than impressive YYeeeccchhh, which sent these filthy part-time sailors into gales of laughter. I drew my cutlass and another bluebottle bounced of my eye. I wobbled around the place for a while trying to regain my balance and fell overboard. These fuckers were still laughing as they made their escape.

They’re not bluebottles.

They’re the smaller fuckers.
