Sorry but I think some Bea's venom flew in from Elstree down your way...
I hate wasps and bees, i got stung by a hornet when i was younger i still have the scar from that 
Hurts doesn't it
Little gits they are, I had the biggest bloody bee crawling up my leg while I was wearing cutoffs and driving the other day.... I was trying to drive and pull the back of my cuttoffs tight at the back to try and stop it crawling where the sun don't shine
put this in your handbag 
Awww Lainy 
Could you tell me how much it hurts on a scale from 1 - 10 please?
I've never been stung and I'm dreading the day.

As kid I was stung three or four times (as I remember bloody painful) all three of my kids have been stung at least three times .....................is it because we;re fair skinned?
I've never been stung.....I think its cos I favour the 'run around screaming and flailing my arms' school of prevention! 
Last time I got stung by a wasp...I cried like a baby.
My mum rubbed a raw onion on it (I happen to be at her house that weekend)....don't know why but I didn't stop her cos I thought it was better than nothing.

I do that now ...............once stung - you always remember. My OH on the other hand goes mad at me for overreacting .......he's never been stung. I think skin type has something to do with it.
I got sting on the inside of my bottom lip, the wasp was in a can of coke. It hurt really, really badly and my lip swelled up loads. 
First time I got stung was when I was about 14-15, I saw something on my jacket and brushed it off.Then found a wasp's bottom in my finger. Ended going to casualty as the swell wouldn't go down after a couple of days.
The last time as I said above, at my parents's house walking barefoot in the garden and walked on a wasp.
So you could the best flailer but still get stung.

I was stung by a bee a lil while ago, and that was my first ever experience, on a scale of 1-10, i'd give it a 4, cos i'm 'ard, but I did get upset the bee died 
bee's only sting when they are threatened, wasps just do it for the fun, nasty lil feckers)

I've been stung loads, I would have said it doesn't really hurt until last year when I got stung on the toe. It just got sorer and sorer, and was so bad at one point I was thinking of going to the hospital
Not to scare you or anything
i bet it wasnt as painful as the one that stung freddie.

I love bees.
I got stung by a bee as a child and it still makes me sad remembering the poor little thing flying off to die.

it hurts
it hurts
I had some friends around in my garden one day... a wasp flew up my top and stung me on my *ahem* well, tit, actually!
I screamed and clutched my chest... mayhem occurred as everyone thought I was having a heart attack! It wasn't funny!! It bloody wasn't!!

I got stung when I was six... 32 years later I have a massive phobia of bees and wasps. I'm not the most agile of person, but if one comes near me, I put Linford Christie to shame. The lengths I have gone to because of these stingy things.... its shameful it really is
Ok.... I'm guessing actaully being stung isn't the way to get over my phobia then?
oh yes.. and just a little tip if u get stung by a BEE... they apparently leave the 'stinger' behind and you're supposed to scrap it out with the back end of a knife. Tweezers etc will only squeeze the rest of the 'venom' into you

it probably IS the best way
- from one phobic to another - I wish I was brave enough to get stung again, and maybe realise thats its only a bliddy sting!!!!
I have my own stratergy for dealing with wasps, think of em as the skinheads of the insect world,
they are nasty and agressive AT FIRST but whe confronted they turn into blubbering wrecks,
SEE over the years wasps have evolved to EXPECT people to run away screaming and waving our arms about when ever they come within half a mile of us, and they quite frankly take the piss out of us,
BUT if one developes and atitude of "I aint scared of ya poxy sting NOW whatcha gonna do"?
THEY are soon the ones running, I recomend a heavy news paper and go at the swine like you MEAN it,
you see me I am the one running TOWARDS the bastard shouting "COME ON THEN LETS SEE WHAT YOU GOT" while waving a rolled up magazine over my head,
works for me.......
the...then, as I said,...we have "issues" that go WAAAY back me n wasps, n its no quater asked and none given,

oh god yes, I remember u saying a while back over 'there' in the graveyard about your stinging incident
(sorry I shouldnt). I cant be in the same room as one, let alone swat it. I'd rather pay nearly ÂĢ30 for my jobless older brother to come over in a taxi to sort it... or sit in the hallway til my mom or stepdad or my neighbour finishes work...
PAH!!! on HOT days I put some paper on the windowsill with JAM on it to attract em,.....just so I can HAVE EM......COME OOOOOOON THEN AVE ITTTTT,
You're mental Hippy!
Seeing them is one thing but tempting them.

Only time I got stung was 2 years ago in Turkey it was the first time it ever happened to me, just before we was going out also .

my daughter who has had LOADS of surgery and is basically hard as nails got stung about 3 years ago in Telford Park. I wasnt there, but apparently she got stung on the mouth whilst eating a sandwich, and her being as hard as nails AND a rentagob was STILL yakking away as one of my brothers was trying to yank this wasps' arse out of her lip

Some years ago we had a wasps nest on our utility room roof.
I got the experts in to zap them and he told me that they'd be woozy for a couple of days.
I kept my ironing in the utility room ..........my OH used to wear all in one overalls to work.
Day after the 'exorcism' he was cycling to wrk and got stung in the goolies .................on a major road he had to pull over and strip off. One of the little buggers had crawled inside his overalls.
It's a wonder he wasn't arrested.
