  2. I remember a couple of summers ago the wife and me were at the West Meon pub in the garden and there were loads of the fuckers as we trying to eat, i left my empty pint of coke on the table and they kept climbing in so i turned the glass over, there were ten of the things in there, no rest bite they kept coming so went inside in the end!!:mad:(and i did let them out)!:upyeah:
     
  3. This is just soooo wrong!!!












    How can anyone drink a pint of coke?

  4. I think I might even have a phobia, but it's fight not flight. I appreciate they have a job to do but, when equipped with a pain-inflicting weapon they could do with a bit more patience, like the bumble bee. A good friend of mine who finally got got by Cancer last year, (I remember the day the company nurse discovered he had it, over 40 years ago) used to remove wasp nests for a living but he also kept bees and made honey. If a bumble bee was in the house he would let it crawl onto his hand and take it outside, something i've started doing now he's gone.

  5. I think they pollinate runner beans?
     
  6. When I were a lad (north of London) as a dare me and my mates used to look for wasps nests and deliberately agitate them - I got stung so often I developed some sort of immunity to the stings...I don't want to test it to see if it would hurt now though :scream::worried:

  8. Think you’ll find it’s Bees Lives Matter, as no loves that start with W clearly do ;)
     
  9. Chewed through your wood bud, check for a missing joist. We had one ages back, bought some wasp killing foam and attacked the nest at night all stealthy.

    They stood no chance wiped the nest out completely.

  10. All lives matter, except when the little blighters can't take the hint then it's swat the buggers.

  11. I've apple trees in my garden that attract most insect life, most of them aren't a bother however IMO.
    Wasps are pests and there's no real argument about that but...
    F'ckin Hornets are like turbo charged wasps and the little F'ckers inhabit my garden FFS!
    However if they venture into my workshop, I find a quick squirt of brake and clutch cleaner usually sees them spiral to the floor in pretty quick order, if they buzz around a bit more they must like it so I give another squirt JOB DONE!
    Usually I wouldn't kill anything that I wasn't going to eat unless it was some prick who'd really upset me.

  14. We got a wasp nest in the wood burner - which just proved they not that bright, liberal dose of bbq lighting fluid match and shut the door - problem solved, and no petrol was used @Expat Jack in this operation.

  16. Thought the thread was along the lines of BLM, discussing White Anglo Saxon Protestants.
    Anyway the stripy b*stards get a good stamping from me, you really have to piss a bee off to get stung, but a wasp appears to do it for the hell of it.
