    The motorcycle outriders would have been a clue.

    Edit. Not motorcycles but Vespa's.

    I was stung by some bees once.

    £5 for a jar of honey.

    My second favourite limerick:

    There was a young man from Dundee,
    Who was stung on the leg by a wasp.
    When I said Did it hurt?,
    He said No, not really.
    It can do it again if it likes.


    Bees are ****ing mathematical genius's BTW. They are able to move at specific angles relative to the path of the sun, and can scale distances relative to their movements as they perform their waggledance. They can also constuct perfect 3D hexagons out of their own vomit.

    They are mathematically and aerodynamically incapable of flight, but overcome this obstacle through shear bloodymindedness.


    Let the buggers live where they choose.


    Except those capitalist manuka bees. They charge a ****ing fortune for their honey.

    ****s.

    Someone once asked, what you like to bee or a wasp. I never managed to find the answer.

    Can't be arsed to read 3 pages of no doubt tree hugging hippy bollocks.

    Best advice you'll get pal is this;

    Pour a couple of jerry cans worth of petrol into your guttering, lob in a swan vesta and stand back.

    You might need to replace your melted to **** plastic guttering but it's better than the alternative.

    Which, by the way, would be serious injury or death.

    how about exploding a WW2 incendiary device, they arent hard to find, one was found by Spaghetti Junction near Birmingham.
    bet that will clear the bees.

    There are certainly more bees around at the moment.
    I was watering the garden and pots yesterday evening and there were loads of really small looking bees (juveniles???) a type & size I had not seen before.
    They soon buzzed off the flowers when the watering can got them.
    A man is scared to leave a can of beer unattended in case of stinging swimmers.

    Wasps are bastards. I have only ever been stung once, and that was on my birthday a few Septembers ago, on my leg watching North Ferriby. I had to retire to the bar and seek the advice of a rotund lady. Two ice cold cans of Strongbow did the trick, one to drink one for the leg.

    bee/ wasp stings are alkali.
    the BEST thing you can do, is to rub vinegar on it.
    Vinegar is a mild acid that can counteract the sting and therefore get rid of the pain.
    if vinegar isnt available, any carbonated drink will suffice.

    Id suggest this as a good new thread topic, insects that are pointless and complete bastards, but the usual suspects would hijack it.

    I agree mind, mossies are ****s.

    Bee 1.jpg One of the squatters from next doors roof tiles. Never seen more than 8 flying around the entrance.
    Fascinating watching them interact in mid air. Pic is of one visiting our "pollen store"
