Now, I don’t usually agree with attacking kids. In fact I think it maybe the worst idea in the world – attack a child and you just make them more likely to come back and hurt you more… oh, and you get arrested which never looks fun.
But, the Mosquito Alarm sounds to be a marvellous idea and I want one. And, they are not illegal in this country (and there are no plans to ban it) and they are very popular with the authorities.
What do they do I hear you cry? They emit a high pitched sound that cannot be heard (because of some incredibly scientific reason) by anyone over the age of 25. This sound becomes annoying after about 10 minutes and causes a discomfort in the ears of those who can hear it. Target audience? Teenagers. More specifically, the gangs of layabout fuckwits that hang around on street corners and in our parks and outside the local shop making the place look untidy.
Now they just need to develop something similar for other groups. Door to Door religious fanatics? One to play down the phone line to call centre sales staff? Dawdlers in front of you in shops? Talkers in the cinema? Oh, the list is endless!
In other news, because I know you were dying to know… I went to the doctor’s today to have my blood test. What a palaver! I have so many holes in me I may change my name to sieve! They couldn’t find a vein in my arm so had to take it out of the back of my hand. I had to fill paediatric bottles (little ones) as they couldn’t draw enough out to fill a proper test tube thing. Results back next week. Let’s hope they find out what’s going on this time!
