This bloody sumer we're having here, which was welcome for those from hotter climates as the heatwave gave for a good send off for the Olympics, but despite the news reports, most British detest the het, I mean heat, 32deg C, not fun, especially when it's still.
So, my problem, that would be the flies, or other little bugs that you only know about when they buzz right past your ear, or can hear when asleep and then wake up bitten. They're quite smart too, the one's you could normally swat, but stay out of reach, I tried confusing them with my bedside Class 1 laser which the cat next door likes to play with, just to get them on the move again, but they're not bothered.
So it got me thinking, well, most of these buggers are black, except for the really smart camel lion ones, and I know what happens to even a black mark on a balloon, I could proper zap them then! So, I was thinking, would I be able to kill these little flying irritations with a high power laser, or, would they be able to survive a blast?
My other concern is safety, yes I'd wear glasses, heck I'd even do what that spoilt kid did from the Osbourne family when he wore a WWII gas mask to play some shooting game (never really watched the programme, but credit due) which would really get me in the mood, no, my concern would be setting the house on fire! Would short sustained bursts be safe enough, they surely couldn't take too much, my electric tennis racket (which has been so useful this year!) fries them on contact!
It' an evolutionary sort of this: first I used a dirty look, then a tea towel, then an electric racket and now I'm up for a laser.
Any thoughts?
