They also did this thing about Legoland. Because of the warm summer there has been a population explosion in wasps.
Now, to be fair there has been an increase this year, but they don't bother you unless you bother them by flailing your hands dramatically around like Brian Dowling.
Anyway. I had a great idea. Why not capture some of the little buggers and then attach nano-homing beacons to them. That way you can track them back to their nests later on in the evening and eradicate them.
I would like £250,000 for 5% of my business.
Peter Jones >> Have you got a patent for the thing ?
James Khan >> What are the figures for last year? How many wasps were bummed?
Debra >> I have to say this is one of the most ridiculous ideas ever.
Bannatyne >> I have no idea about wasps and I do not care about them, so I am out.
Theo >> I cannot believe you came here with some halk baked idea about wasps and asking for my grand daughter's inheritance money.

You want to be careful, same program with the wasps was embarrasing the high street super markets and their dumb marketing standards. If it is 2.28 at Asda they will do you super deal to by a double pack at £4.60. Bargain huhOriginally posted by xoggoth View PostI ran out of Sainsbury's jam and had to get a jar at local Costcutter. 2.28 or 2.48 forget which. I wouldn't normally give them jam like that, I don't want anyone thinking i'm weird or something. Also, is part of my research project for my forthcoming paper "The application of the social behaviour of waspies to human society"

So another cunning plan bites the dust.Originally posted by zeitghostFound one the size of a full bin bag in the loft some years ago.
It required a binbag to get rid of it.
Quite empty by the time it was found.
I have 3 tennis ball sized nests in my garage, but they were all abandoned early in the season.
I'm rather more upset about the bumble bee nest drowning in a deluge though.

I have an empty wasp nest in my loft the size of a premiership football, along with quite a few small attempts tennis ball size. Not ventured up there for a while, but only commented the other day that we hadn't seen any wasps about, certainly not the volumes needed to occupy the massive nest.

You spoil those little buggers. I let them have Tesco Own Brand.Originally posted by xoggoth View PostI love waspies. Brilliant little creatures. Most of them are in my back garden where they have gone through £2.45 worth of expensive jam since Tuesday.
