BL**DY WASPS

stubs

Was out this morning for a lovely ride in the sun the grass was green the birds were tweeting the butterflies were butterflying even a lycra boy on his racer said a cheeery hello to me as he went blasting past (I nearly fell off my bike in shock if his mates find out they will banish him from the chaingang).

On my way back home going down a leafy quiet back road I felt something thump into my forehead there was a buzzing and AAARRRRGGGGHHH a wasp had got stuck behind my sunglasses and was stinging my eyebrow and my eyelid.

Trying to get my sunglasses off I rode into the hedge and the bl**dy thing was still stinging me, by the time I had got my gogs off I had been stung about 5 times. I look like I have a black eye. I have taken Paracetamol, Anti Histamine and 2 cold bottles of lager and I am still in agony

Never been stung by a wasp before and I cant believe how painful it is I was in less pain when I dislocated and broke my little finger last summer.

Ouch!

Only been stung twice- back of the neck whilst riding home and in the armpit at work. Little bastard things.

And was stung by a tiny jelly fish in the armpit too- that nipped a bit :x

Cant remember who it was, but a while back someone referred to wasps as

the angry tramp of the insect world

and this stuck with me as it's quite true.

If you are after a serious answer, then pollonation.

If you are not after a sensible answer - they have NO DISCERNABLE PURPOSE, and just exist to p!ss you off!

I broke my leg in 2002, and to add insult to injury, one little bastard landed on the grip of my crutch(es) as I was having a cheeky fag outside the hospital, so not only was I on crutches and couldn't walk, but couldn't even put my hand on my crutch!!! CRUTCH you dirty minded vagabonds!

hehe - Crutch...

They definately serve no purpose when there are ample other less stroppy insects in the world to polinate plants.

Why is it they have such an uncanny ability to sting in suitably painful places, eyes, hands and feet (and even pits!) are all possibly in the top five places where you wouldn't want to be stung!

Try some ibroufen as well - its an anti inflamitory drug, might help!

argh complete nightmare, i remember geting stung on the fingertip a few years back and jesus it hurt!

The little bastards have thankfully never gotten me! O/P that sounds very harsh.

update I was in so much pain last night I had to go to the GP centre at my local hospital. My left eye had completely closed up and the swelling was getting bigger. They checked my eyeball was okay and gave me a jab to stop the swelling and strong painkilling tabs. Managed to get to sleep and woke up late this morning feeling a hell of a lot better. Still look like the Elephant man though and only got blurry vision in my left eye.

The doctor told me I should have gone straight to A+E apparently getting stung around the eye can turn out nasty.

Pic's or it didn't happen !

My mate was stung today whilst riding, then having a beer realised he'd left his Hydrapack about 2 miles away & had to race back to collect it.

Didn't take the pee too much while me & trekhead were supping a cold'un. lol.
