Default Half Time Score..... Dopey wasp 1 Big Dope 0

In a David versus Goliath clash played out in my bedroom. A dopey wasp took on a big dopey human in a titanic struggle. Human struck first with an ill placed foot, wasp hit back with a well placed stinger to the big toe. This resulted in the Goliath roaring in pain and crumbling to his knees. However before the wasp could strike the knock out blow, a well placed smash with a shoe wrestled the contest back in the humans favour. The cost was one wasps life, and one bloke roaring in pain asking for the vinegar to be brought in, and trying to explain to the wife that "NO It's not for feckin chips"

Final Score 1 all

i only tackle wasps at 5am, naked with no contact lenses in, wafting at the curtains with a copy of Autocar, still it amuses the Milk Man.

The only weapon effective against wasps is the towel.

nah, best is an air pistol

obviously without the pellet in! anything shot close enough stuns them, then move in for the kill

normaly blows them to little pieces but every now and then you get a nasty little blood splat head shot

don't seem to get many indoors now, maybe words gone round

Well if you're talking powered weaponry then an air powered 2" staple gun is mightily effective too.

It's only a toe, not a ***** so I think you'd not really be that interested unless you have a foot fetish?

When I used to ride bikes I always wore open faced helmets as I hated the feel of full faced.Anyway I was at a rally one weekend in wales and we were blessed with georgeous weather which called for a ride out to Rhyl. So with no consideration for my safety I mounted my bike dressed in jeans and a vest. The ride was brilliant with the breeze cooling my sun tanned body I was lost in the glow of it all when WHACK!.................what the fuOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Oh my God Oh my God Owwww owwwww owwwww all this while trying to pull safely to the side of he road. Once I managed to stop I dragged my lid off and grabbed my ear which was in absolute agony and was swelling in my hand. Stuck to this ear was the remains of a bloody WASP! (I use capitals here as it was a bloody big Wasp)
The Wasp had flown into the path of an open faced helmet doing a steady 60mph. Because this was an open faced helmet it didn't bounce off leaving me safe in the knowledge that I had prevented the black and yellow projectile of death from claiming a new victim. No! Because I was wearing my chosen "protection" the Wasp had managed at high speed to get forced at the aforementioned high speed between my cheek and the ever protectful lid. Before disintegrating it seems the little bugger had managed to leave it's sting in my ear. In the time it had taken to dawn on me what had just happened my ear had swollen almost to the size of my lid which eventually brought me the realisation that the lid would no longer fit my now hugely deformed head.
To get back to the campsite I had to get on the back of a mates trike while his passenger took my bike. To top it all off when the rally was over I still couldn't get the lid on and had wait another day on my own at the site until the ear had shrunk enough to get the lid on.

Wasps! I fookin' hate 'em.






Oh and I'm and little bit scared of them now too. So scared that I made a right tit of myself on a boating lake.......................but that's another story
