The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Wasps have been seen here this year. Yep. I hate them badly!
I think someone set my soul alight
I hadn't really noticed the lack of wasps this year until reading this thread. Last year I finally got stung by one. I wouldn't have minded so much but it was already dead on my living room carpet when I sat on the damn thing! Having no vinegar to hand, I attempted to alleviate the pain with Diet Coke and orange juice, with limited results. I've also noticed fewer flies this year. Last year, there were so many flies in my house, you could have sworn there was a rotting corpse nearby - and yes I was keeping the place clean! This year, there's been nowhere near as many, but still enough to justify the use of fly papers.

a) they think setting fire to their rubbish is a good idea ;
b) irrespective of whether there are any dubious items like aerosols in it;
c) they're Welsh. Which I could kind of forgive them for if they were like say Rhys Ifans. But they're not. More like chav Catherine Zeta Jones's. But without the fame, fortune, good looks and personality;
d) they're Welsh and they don't even support a Welsh team;
Can't think of owt else at the moment
