I hope for your sake that you aren't putting a large bet on that.

xog is conducting an experiment to allow us to more effectively trap and kill the little bastards. I'm excited!

I am conducting a serious scientific experiment in my garden - which do wasps prefer, jam or golden syrup? I bet I am not the only one seriously excited by this.

See, total bastards:

I skin them and beat the skins to make rugby jumpers for pigeons.
then, after a few days, I kill the wasps

There was a guy I went to Uni with who was a bit odd. He'd catch flies and then tippex their eyes out.

I think that was you.

Do they have six fingers as well?

Yep, they're just like you but slimmer.

There are loads around in Devon at the moment.

Went out to a BBQ with my daughter and her family the other day and the beer garden was crawling with them, must have been a nest near by.

No one stung as far as I am aware.

I thought this was going to be a Rugby Union thread....

I don't know what he's got against them. They're nothing like as stuck up as Quins or Richmond.

They are actually more useful earlier in the year, due to the midges they eat,
but yeah, once they realise the end is near and start binging on sugar they become a real PITA.

[MarillionFan]

Wasps are attracted to sugary sweet things. Ah bless.

Having commented yesterday that I hadn't seen many this year, there's three buzzing round my garage.

I recommend using an electric fly swat.
