Hate the poxy things. Pointless. Just been stung 4 times after standing on a nest in a lawn. F##k off. Rant over.

    Noah could have swatted both the little bastards. He didn't - another reason not to be a Christian...

    I'm 47 and I have never been stung by wasp or a bee . Is that unusual?

    Each creature to their own and all that but where wasps really start to reduce their credit rating as far as I'm concerned is when they start sticking their two penneth when you are outside trying to eat something or sup on a quiet pint.
    It's not a free picnic, you stripey bastards, bring your own food or beer, stop free loading on mine and getting all irate when I bat you away.
    I had one of them once dying happily in a pint of oranjeboom, and I only noticed him as I put the glass to my lips..
    Still, live and let live eh, the wood gouging freeloaders....

    A few useless facts about wasps. In the first part of the summer they catch lots of bugs (GOOD) to feed their young to make them grow fast (BAD). Once the young are fully grown the parents have lots of time on their hands so get a taste for the sweet life and become pests to you and me (DEFINITELY NOT GOOD). The reason the sprays you can get to destroy nests have a 20+ foot jet is, as soon as they think they are being attacked, they send out a message to all of their mates to come and help attack you. A wasp nest has on average 4-5000 wasps. If you attack a wasp nest you do not want to be close by. The last useless fact is wasp nests don't usually get re-used.

    I feel better now !

    Wasps are incredibly good bug catchers. I had a real phobia about bees and wasps when I was young, having been stung by both.

    I still keep wasps at arms length literally, but have come round to the idea of bee-keeping as a retirement project. They need all the help they can get.

    I would suggest if you want to destroy a wasps nest, do it at night with the correct gear. Come August when the wasps are at their worst you can always set up decoy beer traps to keep them out of your ale.

    He was looking the wrong way at the time. He should have smitten the two biggest killers in the animal kingdom, mosquitoes.

    I was once riding my motorbike really slowly around Lewisham looking for an address, a wasp flew into my open full face helmet and stupidly in my panic I slammed the visor closed.
    Horses and stables and all that.
    The next few minutes were a nightmare as I tried to park, dismount, and fiddle with the straps to get the helmet off. Stung just behind the ear.

    They're stripey c*nts that are just as annoying as the Surrey lot, if there was one species I could choose to make extinct it would be them.
