How should I kill it?

It hasn't stopped you posting thread after crazy insane thread though has it? :)

God bless her lovely insanity.

Since you obviously have some time on your hands, I'd try doing it Karate-Kid style. Concentrate, Samantha-san...

hmmm. you should also get a fly swatter, place it between your palms, and twirl it, ala karate kid 2. soon you'll be able to break five ice blocks with your bare head. or not. ;)

Cue whiskered 70s joke I can only remember the end of.

Grasshopper: "But it is not dead, master"
Kung Fu monk: "No. But that fly will NEVER HAVE CHILDREN."

(As it was the 70s we said "fry" and "childlen", I'm sorry to report.)

don't kill it! all it's doing is buzzing around. shoo it out or deal with it.

hmm, well I like the karate ideas. I'll just practice those for awhile to work off the donuts.

I don't know where the fly went. doh there he is. he heard us talking about him. I'll try shooing him instead.

sorry about the pointlessness Ronan. It's friday afternoon. I'm brain dead. (actually I am working on a manual for the sales dept. perhaps that's why I'm brain dead.)

You can't kill flies. Even the fastest swipe will be evaded. Flies see everything in super slow mo. Open the window and let it out.

Peashooter (actually: empty biro and tiny ball of wet paper), should take a bit of doing, but, with practice...

Consider yourself lucky, there are WASPS in my office.

Josh, tell the WASPs to piss off back to Edina where they belong, they're late for hockey practice.

I have fruit flies in my flat. They are quick, and sometimes they bite.

Tip for killing flies (I am not advocating this course of action, but this is for information only). Aim swatter just behind where fliy has settled. This results in far greater success ratios. Someone told me it was because flies launch into the air backwards.
