No, but have you ever been involved in frenzied combat with an angry wasp?

Your adrenalin level and heart rate probably shoot up just as much as a matador's.

(and the humans usually back off and the wasp "wins".)

cheers,

Ron

Sounds to me like you just had such a fight at home?

I had a fight with 6 or 7 Iranian Wasps at the same time, and i can tell you it's not funny, specially if you are 10 years old. But that was my own fault. I played with their bee gum and they didn't like that game at all!
They probably would have totally ignored me if i would have behaved and ignored them too ;-)

Yeah Kate, thats really sad that some people spend more money on animals than for humans.I will never understand that.

This is what I meant about the justification/disclaimer/excuse aspect.

I knew we had met before....

I'm posting this during a sudden eruption of the Icelandic volcano making access to ForoFlamenco very difficult.

Hello, Hello...1,2,3...is anybody there?

He said afterwards...

“There are some things you must be aware of about yourself. I didn’t have the ability, I didn’t have the balls, this is not my thing.”

(An internet commentator said, "The bull has the balls. The bull has massive balls. He has balls for two. And he wants to wear you…")

Umm, missed the Brazil game because of it. It's a mess, our hoster changed a bunch of stuff that broke the forum and even the email servers - without telling me, then said it will take 24-48 hours for a engineer to get back to me. So I had to divert to a patch that luckily works. I'll leave this patch running until I can get to the bottom of it.
