Wasps on a bus

[Greedo]

Forget Snakes on a plane- this is where it's at folks!

Two wasps on the bus heading into town (beer drinking tonight so no car) this morning and the panic amongst the women was brilliant. Seriously, the Yorkshire Ripper would have caused less fuss and panic. Glad to report I was not the only fella pishing myself at this. Sadly after about 15mins of mayhem the wee critters were swatted to death by a Metro- but I'd just like to thank them for the fun they provided and that I now forgive the one that stung me last year on the thumb while playing golf.

Two wasps on the bus...

Disappointing. I thought this was going to be a joke. Like the one about the man who goes into the pet shop and says "I'd like to buy a wasp."

It was more amusing than any joke, believe me!!

I recently cycled to Heaton Park with my brother (he isn't really a cyclist but the M10 often taking shortcuts and missing out his road has forced him to rely on a bike until he gets his motorbike, so he felt fit enough for the journey. Having had less than 3 hours sleep, I didn't!), and on the way there, we stopped at a garage (petrol station). A wasp chased us.

Then we had one in Heaton Park, then outside Sainsbury's nearby (we were looking for a quick route home and found the supermarket) as we ate our snacks on the bench. The old woman next to us was undisturbed by the wasp and found it quite funny. Fortunately, it got stuck in the bin even though there was plenty of room for it to escape.

Then on the way back, we stopped again and another wasp buzzing round us (only had drinks this time, no snacks, so there was no excuse!).

Pah! Two wasps? You were lucky!

I got stung by a bee on a bus in London last week

It's still a little swollen and very itchy.....

I thought this was a thread about racial stereotypes and their preferred method of travel.

I have a complete phobia about wasps, I really do. I was driving my car the other day when one landed on my knee, I pulled over, jumped out of the car and did not see where the wasp was, it took me half an hour and alot of searching to drive home

A few years back had got on the bus in town to go home. While waiting to depart a wasp flew into the cab. For some obscure reason Zak's Buses (some of the Brum contingent might remember them) had some of their buses fitted with a PA - so driver put it to good use and announced to the bus "I'm scared of wasps and this bus is going nowhere until this one is out of my cab"!! With that some bloke got out of his seat and ejected the wasp with his paper.

A couple of years ago I was cycling along when a car coming in the opposite direction screeched to a halt and the driver ran out into the woods shrieking "WASP!!!! AHH!!!!!" . What she didn't realise was that a short way into the wood was a foul stinking bog, she went up to her waist. One of two occasions when I have vomited laughing.

What was the other one?

I don't think I've ever done that, am I missing out?

I actually did that but I think I paid way over the odds, £25.

I think I got stung

The other one was during an argument at school, the girls had been decorating eggs for easter, and passed their eggs round for the boys to look at, I-- S-------, who was sat next to me, said you couldn't break an egg by squeezing it exactly on the ends, I said you could and started to prove it, there was a "crack!" and a jet of raw egg shot out and hit I-- S------- right in the eye.

theres a guy at my club who insists on ordering scones with jam and cream at the half way stop on every sunday club run, this couple with everyone else drinking coke, never fails to draw a massive crowd of wasps. they are mostly interested in his jam, so whilst they are distracted we use upturned glasses to trap the little buggers

I did fend a wasp off with my chin recently and stopped it going down my jersey.
Bring on the cold weather and the peace of mind of having the zips done right up.
