Who is Phil Stein (or Stine)?

We’d get by without La Monty Yung.

Some wouldn't. I do - and I doubt that I'm alone in that.

It's a dog's life being a Host, you know, Richard.....

#132 Pulcinella. SOME mosquito repellants arent much good, eg citronella oil. By contrast, the Australians make one called Aerogard (I think that's the spelling) that I used in my years of working on cocoa in lowland Papua New Guinea, where the mozzies are fearsome, and it works a treat, I could never have endured the field work without it. It was an aerosol spray; there was also one called Rid, which was a topical cream and which worked pretty well and was more economical. As well as field work, they were essential for the once a week movie at the local sports club, which was shown in an open sided covered area and which attracted all the local mozzies for miles around. You could hardly breathe for the stink of Aerogard.

Good to know.

I think that's it though they've changed the packaging, it used to be an aerosol when I was using it thirty years ago.

We’d be nowhere without them. We’d get by without La Monty Yung.

You might be nowhere without them
But i'm sure the rest of the universe would manage wonderfully
La Monte, on the other hand, really HAS done something significant with his life

The Queen has done many more significant things than La Monte Young. You know I’m right.

I thought I did.

Oh no. That was lack of it - which is why I've decided to unretire.

That’s because many of us in here don’t bother with the stuff.

And all other nations are inferior,
Any sedition hushed, rebellious Scots crushed,
So you still believe you're superior,"

I didn't know that the Queen had done La Monte Young. There's so much to learn on this forum.
