an ex-US marine I met in Cambodia
Sandman,

I was in the Navy (Reserve) so not a Marine but have known and been close friends with quite a few. Be careful using the term "ex". Anytime I did that in one's presence I got brow beaten as they say "once a Marine, always a Marine". There are no ex-US Marines, only retired or inactive ones...

"Semper Fi" as they say in The Core. :D :D :D
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

yeah....same as ex Legion men......serious lot

Ryan tho broke the mould....he classed himself as "ex-American" during the Bush years......for an ex-marine he's a proper odd one....I used to wonder how he'd learnt to drill water wells when he was a marine.....Id have thought drilling holes when at sea is a no no.

still, the Aloe thing seemed to work and beat Vinegar hands down.

Lived in Maine and the state bird should have been the mosquito.


We used S & S which was actually a sunscreen with aloe, worked great!

Hi Martin 3,

where can one get that "zapper"? Whatever a "zapper" may be.

Another 3-year old thread revived! :laugh:

EDIT: If you're talking about the zapper shaped like a tennis racquet, you can buy them in Tesco and many other places.

MB, I've no idea where you can get one of those fancy zappers, but reading Martin's post, it sounds very good. However, I find Tiger Balm to be a very effective alternative, and believe me, mossies love to eat me.

I know you get them from Aldis etc in England for about a quid.

I don't wear spray though or use coils and the only time iv'e been savaged was when I fell asleep, feet up outside for the night. I think Alcohol fights them off. :laugh:

Aint none in my room, my GF is a mozzy hunting machine, my son is on autopilot with them too.

It's a timely resurrection though. Suggest people read the entire thread now that the rainy season is here. Dengue fever is at record highs, but taking a backseat in the local news to the HFMD virus outbreaks. Pete :cheers:

Good evening mates,


being a newcomer I spent last evening reading all the interesting and relevant

posts in the Health Section.

That's how I came to revive some very old threads.

Good night to everyone!
