    well thank god for lilley our cat as yesterday i went up to model room an lilley our white cat followed me up an shot straight in to our bedroom an was lookin at someting an i thought whats she up to an i had a look an there sat a big qeen wasp OH PANIC STATIONS got a jar an got rid of it out of the window thank god glad it dint get in the bed oh dear an then this morning jen said lets cut the grass as its got long well i open up the shed door to be confronted by another bleedin great wasp so i jumped out of the shed double quick an bangalked the door shut talk about a fright oh dear well when id carlmed down i gently opened the door again an i see it had made a nest in our wooden shed PANIC STATIONS AGAIN thinkin how can i get that wasp an nest out of our shed well jen came to the recuse as she came out whith a big can of bug spray an i then crept in an sprayed the shed all inside an shut the door an left it for half an hr

    well i though that wasp would be bumped off by now but no the flamein thing came out of its nest again an after me wow out the door quick in the end i threw a bucket of water over the nest an it fell to the floor with the wasp inside WOW i was terrifed but managed to get it out side an dumped it on the muck heap an ran like hell an talk about get the shakes then OH BOY

    well we cut the grass an put the mowers back in the shed an i said to jen lets have cup of tea an a calm down so we sat in the livin room enjoyin a rest an a cuppa an it was then that lilley our cat came into the room an she started to make motions of something behind our sealed off fire place with twin wall an a stove in the front of it an i called lilley back to see again what she was lookin at an she walked away well we settled down again to finish our cuppa as all was qiuet an then a hell of a bang so i said to jen lets gently pull the stove an twin wall away an shine a torch in the fireplace as i had vishion of a bloody great wasps or hornets nest in there but thank god it was a flamein jackdoor had fell down the chimmney but cor he took some gettin out as he was flappin it wings an all the dust in there well we could hardley see it but jen manged to grab hold of it an rushed it outside with lilley tryin to get at it panic stations again as jen was gettin bit an sayin OW you devil but jen let it go to see it fly away WELL END OF PANIC STATIONS HOPEFULLY been a frightening two days Aaaarrrgggg hope no more happenings :face-with-head-bandage::angry::crying:

        Moni, if I found one of those the size of a dinner plate in my house I’d just move! I have enough trouble dealing with wolf spiders in the UK and they only get to a couple of inches across. Mind you, my wife Sue would probably “give it some brush” and flatten the poor old thing with a yard broom……

                      Moggy = Cat,
                      Huntsman = Spider (big hairy thing)
                      Jackdoor = Bird

                        When I was stationed in Aden we used to get Camel spiders - these things freeze the flesh and eat it away leaving a big hole in the flesh. Then we had the Scorpions and thin black snakes that could give a nasty bite, we used to call them bootlace snakes as they were about as long and as thin as a leather bootlace. And even the Baboons would take to throwing rocks back at you when we tried to scare them off when up country.
                        Borneo we had all sorts of things from Leeches to Tarantulas, snakes of all sizes and colours, and I still have the scars from one little one who dug its upper fangs into my arm at the elbow but because its mouth was so small it could not gain enough purchase with its lower jaw to inject the venom, was told later that they were very venomous by the tracker.
                        At home we used to go into Coca Cola at Milton Keynes to load and it was nothing to be stung several times when fastening up the curtain sides by wasps who were after the sugar from the vats...
                        Neighbour asked me to cut/trim down some bushes at the end of her garden, sitting in the middle was a mound of earth, in that mound was a wasp colony, after three stings out came the white spirit (2ltrs) and let that soak through, then covered it with an old bit of tarpaulin and set fire to the lot - the bushes got trimmed at the same time - never had a wasp in our garden since.

                            Second hand chin salesman is a phrase a mate of mine came up with. We were gigging in a pub near Marlborough and a load of horsey set chinless wonders came in braying away to each other. My mate turned to me and said ‘“a second hand chin salesman could make a fortune in here….”.
