I'm probably missing something glaringly obvious but why are second time stings, stings at different times and stings on other parts of the body different to the first time stings? I think I'll have to try wearing a baseball cap or something with a big peak to keep the veil away from my face...

Restoring vintage motorcycles, I get my enjoyment out of turning a rusty wreck back into a useable machine, then selling/swapping it to finance the next rusty wreck :hairpull: CD

A Similar incident just up the coast from us, coastal erosion is causing houses to fall into the sea, some traveling gentleman thought that the power cables still there were 'unwanted' and they would clear them up free of charge sadly the cables were still live and both of them qualified for the...

I've an old hand waterpump (still working) and stone trough in the south facing back garden, the trough is covered in moss and the bees seem to love it, certain times of day you can see dozens of them sucking the water from the moss, maybe it tastes better ! Regards CD

I've harboured dark thoughts about doing something like that, then reality kicks in and I realise that at 70 I'm probably a bit too old for the hassle and any physical violence, :nopity: I'll let things run their course and in the meantime keep saving for the next hives. Regards CD

Hi All, Thanks for all the good advice and information not worthy Whatever happens, I'll pursue it to the bitter end, Interesting to find out that both sellers listed are in fact the same guy, it might be worth me passing that on to the consumer protection people next time I speak to them...

People who snipe my fleabay bid in the last 2 seconds when I've been the high bidder for 7 days. Townies who move into the country then complain about chickens, cows, smells, tractors etc. Anyone who's ever appeared on big brother. Hope you've got plenty of ammo Pete :biggrinjester: CD
