Alert Mongoose Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Wasp bikes? I've never heard this phrase before. Are they nests or is this an extract from the can you guess what it is thread? Bike is the correct term. Those weirdos down South call it a 'bink'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't work now with everyone having a mobile phones and Facebook making everyone BE A WARE, but it was a simpler time.

I find them eerily creepy things, although I took great pleasure in annihilating them with ant powder last year and smashing the nest apart in makeshift protective gear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that smashing it with the back of your hand will resolve the situation. Thankfully we're only in bee season so far. I've not actually seen any wasps yet, although they're obviously out there seeing as I destroyed a couple of early wasp bikes in my shed last month. Hunners of bumble bees in the garden this year though, which is unusual as we usually only get the wee brownish honey bee ones that I've yet to see any of. My daughter is the opposite. She picks up bees and nurses them back to health with sugary water if they look a bit knackered. Getting stung doesn't bother her. Quite a hardy wee kid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one of those knackered ones on the pavement on my way to work last week, but I couldn't do much other than wish it good luck. I passed the same point later that day, only to find a squished bee. I propose a minutes silence. Tomorrow, 11am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a woman does this in my office. She even uses Bing to search for Google. I'd show her how to use it properly but she's unable to retain information and I'd need to tell her again two days later.

The same show where they swap out foods and take the labels off so the family can't tell what it is, and they're always absolutely adamant that it's 'their' brand and not the swapped out one, and when they find out it's the swapped out one they are utterly amazed, and find the entire process absolutely hilarious for some reason? I hate that show. Just saw a bit of this. Not only do they swap for own brand, they swap for own brand from 5 different supermarkets. Who the f**k is going to go to 5 supermarkets and queue 5 times for their cheapo messages? You'd have to be utterly mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
