Bastardin wasp turns up.

Panic.

Stung in neck.

Wasp wins and smugly fooks off.

I fall off the friggin ladder.

5 stitches in head. 3 broken ribs. Broken wrist. Eight hours in A&E drinking vending machine coffee.

I had a Honda 90 in college

And I had a cheap old helmet with a scratched visor.

I was driving home from college one day. Downhill in my own little world. Visor up - because it was scratched to sh!te. A wasp flew into my helmet and stung me on the face.
It looked at little like this:-

You poor aul fecker. I hate ladders, my daddy (yes me daddy) is 65 and is always doing some wee job about the house, anytime I see him on a ladder I feel uneasy.... I hate wasps too but thats a whole other story. Hope you feel better soon!!!

I am reminded of the Murphy and The Bricks song ...



Ladders and Wasps are not a good combination.

If you had a safe pass, you would have a fleg man either side of your ladder, and a guy next to you on a ladder with all sorts of spray and a camera.

There is a bright side Lapin, you've just claimed 'the best roof story' title! Last year's winner was Harry Angstrom.

I was working up on a roof once and a couple of young lads thought it would be a good idea to steal the ladder. I think I can laugh about it now.

Sorry to hear that Lapin. I broke four ribs in a motorbike crash and two more another time when I was lying on my back on the floor and my, then, two yr old daughter jumped on me from the back of the couch. They get worse before they get better. Hope you're not out of action for too long.

Sorry Lapin, I just couldn't resist posting this Goodnight my friend, I hope you've been given some decent pain relief

The cream crackers do a good job if they know you have a drinklink card.

A mate of mine in Nenagh used to make a tidy few quid cleaning gutters for old folk and people who weren't any good at that sort of thing. When he was done he's sprinkle a bit of topsoil and grass seed in a few strategic places. 6 months later he'd have a bit of repeat business. He used to blame it on birds sh1tt1ng in the gutters.

Something needs to be done to address the wasp problem.

Anything.

Someone's got to ring Joe Duffy. This would never have happened if he was registered with the gutter cleaning quango.

Wahay!

Join the club. I fell of a ladder few months back, cracked my right side ribs and massively bruised thigh. Just got over it and what do I do last Sunday? Saw into my left hand with a hand saw whilst cutting down a tree. 17 stitches.

Same bloody doctor in the hospital and all!
