I've only ever got 1 tick on me that I've known of and the little sod attached itself right above my pubes. I wasn't too happy about it, gave the little bast a bath in rubbing alcohol, to break up it's cement, then had to pull it out, which I was a bit worried about as their proboscis can break inside if you do it wrong, and it can cause cysts. It's bizarre how long they are though, the tick was about the size of a chocolate chip, but it's proboscis was easily 2 centimetres :O
Their heads are usually ridiculously tiny compared to their bodies. And yes, their bodies swell up if they can feast on you but their heads stay the same size.
Well, you mention proboscis. I don't recall seeing one on the two ticks I've had on me in my life. Just their tiny head.
There is a trick to getting them off of you, if they've already attached themselves to you. Grab them very firmly, and twist them off of you. That usually keeps the head still attached to the body. Have seen that trick work on ticks on dogs.
Aaah, this is saucer thread: a guy posting a pic of a weird lasagna/omelette mix he's cooking while another guy talking about the tick he found right above his pubes.

Years ago some people I know told a guy that you could only remove a tick with a blow torch !

Every time I read that the oldest person in the world has died, I have to do a quick check to see it isn't ME..........
I love fish, and that looks tasty...
Also, it looked like a face to me first. The two holes as eyes, and the fingernotch as a mouth. Anyways, just saying.
It was very tasty, and was delivered very quickly too and was very hot.
One of the reasons i get delivery from this place is they usually have a really fit dolly bird that delivers.
Sadly this time it was a guy who couldn't count :))
I had some fish and chips a few weeks ago when I went to London for the weekend. I didn't realise that the definition of 'large' fish and chips was basically that you get a second fish.
Question, does fish and chips taste better when at the seaside or is it all in the head?
We discussed this at work when i mentioned my fish and chips at the weekend.
It has to do with the Negative Ions in the air which are also combining with the salt in the air, that combined with the salt & Vinegar, the heat coming from them all hit the tongue and nose to combine into a symphony !
My best bag of chips ever was shared by a girlfriend walking along Brighton Beach in the pouring rain some 45 years ago, love & rain combined, I can still taste them and feel the rain on my head and face.

Here's my evening's scoff. Mini pizza with smilies and beans. The pizza is pepperoni and sprinkled with hot crushed chillies.

I had fish and chips in Scarborough a couple of weeks ago. With mushy peas and lashings of vinegar. Lovely.
None of that annoying wrapping stuff to get in the way.
A little low on the greens but oh well.
