I am being held hostage by a wasp. IT is in my living room with the sofa and the tv, I am in the hall, sitting on the stairs with my daughter's laptop! When the buzzing stops I may pluck up the courage to go back in and see if it has flown out the door

Just had a braii (BBQ) at which a "wasp" attended uninvited. No, he was not pleasant company - he was at least two inches long, very black with just a hint of yellow and very noisy. He was even unaffected by our patented high voltage (child warning included) tennis racket shaped fly remover - the bog-standard old fashioned fly swotter dealt with him after being pushed from the back very hard.
Negotiations Phil? I negotiate after destroying the enemy - far more permanent and effective
Having more money doesn't make you happier. I have 50 million dollars
but I'm just as happy as when I had 48 million.

At the beginning of last season at Dorking FC, as safety-officer, a supporter of the visiting team approached me in a highly irate state to say that his wife was being pestered by A WASP.
Strangely, I thought, the said visitor was NOTamused when I asked him to identify which wasp it was, and I would certainly ensure that the said wasp would be evicted from the ground !
I see that "Sejintenjes" (or summat) refers to a Braii --- the famous Braiivleis of S Africa --- where unless a man can eat at least a pound of meat and two litres of beer,--- he can't be invited !
I was last there 2 years ago, visiting my cousins -- both of whom played for Western Province -- and they laid on a massive Braii for my self -- and the Blessed Anne, who had not been to the Republic before --- 30 Guests -- all Family !
A better Country, than it was , when I was there !

There's no pleasing some people !
and I thought everyone appreciated your sense of humour
Everywhere my offspring have played an outdoor sport there have been wasps, soft drinks cans, sweet/chocolate wrappers in the bins always attract wasps. Perhaps his wife was wearing one of those gummy sweet lip glosses.

In a mad moment I said I would have a go at shifting some of the cobwebs in the higher reaches of the side chapel at church, because I have one of those long brushes that can be attached to the paint roller's extension pole. However this morning I noticed that there are at least three large hairy tenants still in residence - now I am having second thoughts! The Betta Bug Katcha is far too short!!

Summat 'll do and I hope you enjoyed the monkey-gland sauce on it! My local (UK) dentist clan - some 8 or so of them - claim to have a braii every weekend and even put on shorts and galoshes when it was snowing. Hence the need for 2 litres of beer to anaesthetise (?)them in advance!

an obvious question, but does the bug katcha fit on the extendable pole? You might need our old mate "Gaffa"!
