Oh yes, the pumped up steroids wasps. They are actually called NUKE THE B**TERDS

Fortitude...

Good god, my legs have just turned to mush, when viewing this image

 

[Vicar!]

Send it to Coventry.

Be glad that you weren't on this motorway in the state of Washington in the States. A lorry carrying 14 million bees had an accident and many of the bees were released to torment those stuck on the motorway waiting for the accident to be cleared and the bees to be gathered back in their hives. This happened on Friday.

I keep finding dead big waspy things on the floor in our loft room. This happens all year round and the windows aren't open. They're much bigger than wasps but always dead. What's going on there then?

It's about time humans eradicated this evil species from the planet. If we can eradicate hard ******* species like the black rhino, then surely these little ***** shouldn't be too much of a problem? Whatever it is that wasps do to justify their presence in the ecosystem, it isn't enough. I don't care what they eat, what they make, or what pest they keep under control, I don't care if the result of them becoming extinct results in giant aliens enslaving the human race, whatever the price is, it's worth paying. A world without wasps would be a better place, whatever the consequences. Time for us to create some kind of wasp-eating monster and release it into beer gardens everywhere in August. Let's do this.

I can't believe there are so many posters who either hate or are terrified by wasps. Or both. I thought I was alone; it's hugely reassuring to find I'm not. I pretty much refuse to do picnics because of them. I just can't help myself - if I see one making a bee line (wasp line?) for me, my food-laden plate always makes a graceful arc through the air as I'm seen running away. There are only so many times you can cover your friends with assorted sanwiches, pies, quiche, piccalilli (getting turmeric out of white chiffon is apparently a bugger), pickled shallots etc, before you no longer have any.

I too would exterminate them all. Sod the consequences. In fact, I'd vote for a political party whose sole manifesto pledge was "We'll get rid of wasps. Honestly."

I'm pretty sure that when that at least once a year the wasps kill their queen, a new one is born and flies off to make a new nest and then the normal wasps all die. Could be connected to what you're finding?

Flying hypodermic needles, I get no pleasure in killing anything, except Wasps.

They deserve it.

Similar here. A stone chip hit me in the neck on the bypass at about 90 mph some years ago and stung like buggery. When I got to my destination I went to the loo, washed my hands, looked in the mirror to see a wasp embedded in my neck still moving and pumping venom into me.

No mercy from me with the buggers!

I had exactly that experience ! It came in between my full-face helmet and my leathers collar. That was about forty years ago but I can still feel it now when I think of it!

...we can eradicate hard ******* species like the black rhino...

Sadly true.

Seems like NSC is in total agreement for once. Not one dissenting voice.

I remember being on holiday in Turkey a few years back, sat round the bar by the pool when this big black and red stripey thing about the size of a dragon fly flew in. You've never seen 20 or so blokes leg it and dive into the pool so quickly in your life

Must have been a nasty ******* as even the locals legged it.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Send it to Coventry.

It's bad enough living up here - please don't.


Another bloody thing I'm allergic too. Hate them.

drop a line to the Chinese and let them know that crushed dried wasps give you a huge erection, they will wipe them out


job done

I stuck a banger in a wasps nest when I was a kid.

A mistake I will never make again.

ha ha ha!

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

My last wasp sting was on the eyelid. Very painful and a nasty swelling, looked like I'd been beaten up.

This totally reflects my thoughts.

I will go out of way to avoid killing a bee...but a wasp? They deserve to suffer.
