I think in conjunction with the dog thread we need to have an open discussion about the control of pesky wasps when spring arrives. The little buggers flying around stinging middle class kids making them cry and the poor parents can't do a thing about it. It's a disgrace. I think park wardens should be held responsible by planting flowers everywhere.

The Bee population is in decline and Bees need to be protected..

Without Bees many plants would dye out.. Food for other species..


Bees are dying due to the over use of some insecticides.


Wasps are also responsible for wiping out Bee populations .. and stealing their honey.

My work quids? This entire thread is a parody based on the ridiculous dog thread in the main section! Trust me, if I were being serious I'd have at least put the effort in. Just thought if everyone is moaning about pointless crap over there I might as well rip into them on here with more pointless crap. Come on, give me SOME credit here.

My mothers dog ( a cocker spaniel) - used to chase

wasps - so making double trouble for both threads -

especially when it got stung and went loopy (like

cockers do).

    • Which is why I was careful to specify "the true definition"! A bit like "dilemma", generally used for any tricky decisions but should really be where there are only two options, both with equally bad outcomes...
    • I raise your pedantry. Language evolves and Merriam Webster gives the meaning as "drastically reduced especially in number." The word originally derived from the Roman practice of killing every tenth soldier in a mutinous army but I'm sure nobody uses the word in that context now.
    • Thanks all for the replies.  When the roofer come to look at the roof more recently,  there were holes in the felt in the same place that the original leak had been,  as well as where the new leak is.  There doesn't seem to be a reason why a hole the the felt was the cause of one leak and not the other.  It would have been good to have got everything sorted at the same time,  rather than having to put scaffolding up again.  But my main issue is around the vagueness of a 10 year guarantee.  After work was done the first time,  the roofer gave us a summary of the work and just wrote '10 Yr guarantee' after, without specifying what exactly that means.   If a roofer comes and doesn't diagnose the problem quite right (which i imagine is common with roofs, given it's not always clear what's causing a leak), the guarantee doesn't seem to apply. But anyway,  we'll be getting a different roofer, because we think he should have checked the felt under the tiles the first time round.  
    • We used to feed the birds, but once the parakeets discovered this they just took over, scaring away all the other species and eating everything in sight. I tried scaring them away with a Nerf gun, but they just didn't care. I know it will open a can of worms (no pun intended) but I really think  the parakeet population needs to be reduced; yes they are pretty, but they are just like a plague of locusts when it comes to food supplies.  PS apologies for pedantry @malumbu but the true definition of "decimate" is to reduce by a tenth... 🫤
