Wasp nests

[Stereo]

When me and my brother were kids we found a nest under an old elder tree, right in the root, probably down an ex rat hole. We decided to get a length of glass pipe about 12ft long from the milk parlour, pour some petrol down it and deal with them. Unfortunately we didn't reckon on the effect of igniting a gallon of 4 star in a confined space. We chucked in a match and ran. There was nothing for about 10 seconds then a dull thud which we felt through the ground and the tree must have gone 20ft in the air. Funniest thing I've ever seen. Worse, there were still wasps flying out on fire when we went back. They were a little dazed.

 

Terrible really but there you go.

had a nasty experience earlier this month, only got stung 3 times but was nearly enough to put me in A and E but spent 2 hours at the local docs with steriods and other pills!
