Wasps

[BARRY]

A syringe full of diesel fuel, inject it in to the nest, god do they hate that.

Wibs has just noticed she has a wasps' nest above her front door. She phoned the local council to see if they could remove it, but they wanted to charge £31, so she's going to have a go herself.

I'm going to stand a safe distance away while I watch her beaver away up a ladder.

How long have you been searching for a thread to get that line in to?

If you do a search on that phrase you'll see that he comes out with it all too frequently. As it were.

Bah - you can count the number of times I've used that line on the fingers of a few hands.

Around these parts I can think of quite a few people who could achieve that on their own then, provided the webbing didn't confuse them.

I don't deny they may have sufficient digits, but can they count that high?

I havn`t seen a single wasp this year yet.

If they sting you on the back or where the skin is thicker you won`t swell up unlike hands I swell up like a balloon,worse now than when I was young.

Drinking cider with flying wasps at a show don`t mix either.

Beyond about 4 is the all-encompassing number, 'a lot'.

Rather closer to the topic in hand, I've found 3 wasp nests ( not quite 'a lot' ) so far this year, and 1 bumble bee nest.

When I say found I mean chanced upon, rather than looking for with intent.

I`ve actually seen my 1st normal wasp after my post and he was dopey after the heavy downpour as he just fell on the ground.

I`ve should`ve said I`ve seen the small wasps,they don`t bother me.

I saw 1 wasp earlier today but thats the first time in a long time. Numbers have significantly decreased here in recent years im sure. I hate them. Got stung by one once on one of my fingers and it left it all swollen up for a weekend.

Saw a wasp yesterday whilst on the train, hoping it would not harm me and it didnt thankfully. I got taught with wasps, don't harm them and they won't harm you and so far in my life that lesson has proven true.

I got taught that if you wallop one hard with a rolled up newspaper, then it won't harm you. So far so good, for me that is, not the wasp!!
