Bloody wasps

[Cockney Scot]

Cycling down the canal this afternoon , sundly felt a shooting pain in my right leg, looked down to see a bloody big wasp stinging me in the leg. Next thing bike is heading for a barb wire fence and I am running at about 10 mph trying to avoid hitting the ground. Bike OK, but now heading for causulty to get a 2in gash in my leg stiched. Would never have guesed a wasp could cause so much damage. Luckily I carry anticeptic in my pannier and dressings so was able to clean it straight away.

you should try getting rid of them for a living, i do twenty or so nests a week in the sumer and have lost count of the number of times i have been stung, just surveying the sight. the sods must know what i have come for, probably the worst was a nest dropped on the floor in a church porch, a dozen decided it would be a fantastic japes to fly up my trouser leg and sting everything in sight. the vicar did chuckle as i made a rapid retreat shedding clothing, what was surprising was he new all the words and Fraze's i was using.

Wasps are ok until they try to drink my beer. Then all gloves are off!

Is it me or are there more of the buggers this year?

I got stung on the way home from work a couple weeks ago, the bugger went straight through my cycling shorts.

An inch to the left and I would have needed an ambulance there and then!

Make sure they take away the pain but leave the swelling

If it swells a lot, then you can ask somebody to pee on you to relieve the pain.

...and that, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is the summing up of the defence.
