My brother went to scottland... he was complaining about being drained in 15 seconds. [lol]
Oh... and the midges (sp?)

I'm in California, USA.
Not very spectacular.
[gonk]

@ Butt - Hey at least you get sunlight... *pouts*

You don't get sunlight?
That's terrible!

I guess it is nice that we get sunlight, but we never get snow!
I mean, I don't know if I'd like it, but it's really pretty.

Well if you don't hang around in the woods midges aren't a problem since they stay near trees :)

What is a midges? o:

I live 2 states above you so no... not really there is usually a blanket of clouds above us.

Midges are bugs... and according to my brother they hurt... (I dunno if he's just a wuss about it though)

What the heck.
i've never heard of them in my life.
o.o

Neither had I... I think they're a sort of fly
We don't have them here XD thankfully

they are tiny little flies that bite you, I was a bloody buffet when I went and I was there for less then 24 hours! they are about 1mm across and look sorts clear in sunlight and are in little clouds that float around... disgusting little creatures...

Interesting...
They sound made up, almost mystical.
*o*

yeah it's a shame that they are very much real... be thankful you don't have them

Haha... so they are as bad as they were described...

yes your brother got them spot on

I heard stories of the group of friends he went with that they hid inside and used anything they could to cover the small hole in their window screen.

oh yeah thats understandable, midges are a missive pain in the arse

Are they in Ireland too? o.o I hope not my friend wants to visit there...

Wow, you guys are such pussies! xD Midges aren't that bad at all haha

lol... horse flies hurt like hell and I've been told midges are the same way...

My town always has a load of midges down near the ferry because there's trees and water and they're not that bad at all! xD They're annoying but they definitely don't hurt (and I am such a wuss when it comes to pain so if I think they're fine, they're fine) xD

yeah well your used to them.... we don't get them here in Essex... we have fruit flies and bluebottles a plenty... it's ridiculous the amount we have here o_O

I never said they hurt just a pain in the arse

It was Poet that said they hurt. xD I do agree about them being annoying, but it's a minor annoyance a

Peot needs to look for episodes of Towie on Youtube or something, so he can see how bad Essex really is xD

I've seen stuff about Scottish midges on TV, you can keep 'em!!

Thanks to Towie, vajazzling is now a thing /shudder

OMG yeah, forgot about that [lol]
