English in Use - 'Bored Of The Flies'

A selection of headlines from stories in the news. They use English in a way that you might think is intended to confuse but it's all perfectly clear to the native speaker.

The classic 1954 English novel 'Lord Of The Flies 'by William GoldingĀ  is used as the inspiration for the headline, 'Bored Of The Flies' in the Daily Mail. It appears on a story that residents of Finghall in North Yorkshire have been overwhelmed by an invasion of flies, and are so fed up that they are considering moving.
