The
midges - a scottish phenomenon
Midges are small
two-winged insects with wings of about 0.7mm
each. The breath and its always containing
alcoholics and carbon dioxide draw them
magically to you (also your temperature makes them
greedy). Once a midge used her saw on you she calls the
other girls to tea-time (only the female
bite).
They in uncountable numbers and bite into
your skin. just like a
swiss officers knifethey turn their swissors
inside out and slurp you empty(hi). As
a small gift for the host they leave some poison for their
better digestion. Three months a year the midges attack the
Scots nerves ( June-October ).
They are the real "Scottish Natives".
The Scots have their own measures against
those food-
accessoires (never eat spaghetti in front
of your tent in the
evening):
1. Ask St.Patrick
for more than 18°C, or an early winter.
2. If this doesn´t
work call St.Patrick again for a bit of wind
(ca
10 km/h)
3. It is told they
don´t like light (so always leave the sun on top)
4. Wear a hat with
a curtain ( I think it´s only for tourists)
5.
in the case that all these things don´t work go to the next
shop
buy a special-anti-midge-repellent
and be happy 
about the spontaneous
reaction of those little insects
:
fleeing!!!
