Anyone have one of these and can confirm they actually work?

They work very well so long as you follow these points:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sourcing4U-Executioner-Mo...
- You are not returning a serve at Wimbledon. Trying to swat a fly in mid air is going to leave you looking a bit silly. Instead, wait for the dozy sods to start landing on things (window, cupboard door, work surface etc).
- Move the racquet SLOWLY. VERY SLOWLY towards the intended victim. Flies have a knack of detecting normal moving objects but being almost oblivious to stuff moving very slowly towards them.
- Hold the zap button when you're within 5-6 inches away from them. Sometimes they'll try to escape early and you want them to be zapped and not just bounce off the deactivated metal wires.
- A first zap is likely to stun them but not kill them. Be ready with a bit of kitchen towel to pick up the stunned victim and dispose of them before they recover and fly away. Sometimes you'll be lucky and the victim will fall stunned onto the metal wires and you can keep the zap button pressed and watch them smoke....

It's pretty good and will easily cook a good sized wasp - it will also give problems to a sizeable hornet but only for a while, so a size ten on hand/foot is the best endgame for anything that size.
Mozzy's and little flies, especially the busy little b
ds that circle in the centre of the room, are easily despatched but big ass bluebottles and horse flies need to be cooked down for a while - and they smell pretty bad as they twitch their last. If you have an area in the garden where you get flies accumulating, there is a therapeutic pleasure in going out and gunning down a few of them - the karma in that is obviously off but they breed every week and there are literally billions upon billions to go round on this planet alone.nigelpugh7 said:

Saw this and thought, "ooh, that looks like a cool model, wonder what it costs".
Turns out - it's a fully functional 3HP 4 stroke engine!! And it's over 500 quid!

Full marks for frivolity if you don't know what you're going to do with it!

Another drunken Chinese online store purchase! Sigh!

This looks cool, I have seen guns that fire salt, are these things any good? Link? I've got one of those "Exterminator" tennis rackets but it's ridiculously hard to actually hit anything with it.
Trick with the Exterminator racket is to approach slow and then suddenly strike at short distance. Works in mid air too. Windows present difficulties due to the angles. Critters evade if you go in too hot from too far.
Had a perfectly good Sony with 5.1 surround sound but it needed a new plug!

Can anyone please recommend for me a small (2-3") Yoda/Baby Yoda toy/ figurine for under a tenner?
You see, I've just bought a Hilux and I think it needs an appropriate jokey mascot
So far googling has only turned up mega priced collectors figurines or teddy-sized plushies

It was that very video that led me to my frivolous purchase of the engine! Facebook has a lot to answer for. I received my latest purchase a few days ago - a Laputa Castle in the Sky Lego copy.

Lovely kit, completely frivolous as I watched the film recently just to justify buying it.
