Bees stoped play in the cricket today, hope there’s none near Derby on the 14th September !!!!
I got stung by bees twice in the last hour whilst schlepping my garden pots into my neighbour's garden for her to water (while I am away somewhere where I am likely to get bitten).Quote:

Careful you don't get your collar felt for contributing to their demise :frown:
Unusual for a bee to sting unless it has been threatened.
Hmmm... the plot thickens :sherlock:Quote:

I hope for his sake he isn't off to India to threaten a tiger!

Unable to resist the temptation, the man goes into the shop.
"I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make. I'd very much like to listen to the new LP you have advertised in the window."
"Certainly, Sir," says the young man behind the counter. "If you'd like to step into the booth and put on the headphones, I'll put the LP on for you."
The world expert on European wasps goes into the booth and puts on the earphones.
Ten minutes later, he comes out of the booth and announces, "I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make and yet I recognised none of those."
"I'm sorry Sir", says the young assistant.
"If you'd care to step into the booth, I can let you have another 10 minutes."
The world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make steps back into the booth and replaces the headphones.
Ten minutes later, he comes out of the booth shaking his head.
"I don't understand it", he says,
"I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make, and yet I still can't recognise any of those!"
"I'm terribly sorry, Sir" says the young man, "perhaps if you'd like to step into the booth again, you could have 5 more minutes."
Sighing, the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make steps back into the booth.
Five minutes later, he comes out again, clearly agitated.
"I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make and yet I have recognised none of the wasps on this LP."
"I really am terribly sorry", says the young assistant, I've just realised I was playing you the bee side."
