But in this case they have to meet at the entrance. The wasps will be fanning to try and cool the nest. I was wondering if bats have a special method of tackling them by perhaps folding their wings forward as a shield and somehow biting their heads off. We saw a hornets nest being built next to a wasps nest in the rafters a couple of years ago and the hornets destroyed the wasps nest and ate the grubs.

Unpopular they are when you have the misfortune to make them angry, they are very hard workers and do a lot to clean up the environment for most of the year. All they ask for is a little sweetness at the end of the year for all their toil. We have a nest at the log cabin just above the door in a hollow area above the lintel. We have been in and out many times and have not even been buzzed even though they have always has a couple of lookouts at the entrance fanning to keep the nest cool However there is hardly any activity recently although there are still some to be seen in the entrance, none flying in and out. This space is shared further along the poplar log with some Pipistrelle bats who live in the hollow under the log formed by the full scribe method of cabin building. I just wondered if the bats had had enough of the wasps but wondered if they would cope with a wasp, or would they be killed by the stings.

Now Marla sings it like she really means it

Great minds think alike. We have a Pioneer400 in the office and use branch loggings which are perfect for a quick start and last long enough for me to do the normal book work and phone calls. We started with a Clearview 650 with twin doors which is great for the big logs but I prefer the single door stoves for a good seal. Aarrow Stratford boiler stove linked to Dunsley Neutraliser for the central heating. North Sea gas linked in but very rarely used, only when away. Very impressed with a Danish Aduro 9 air stove for efficiency. Similar I suspect to Morso Having a Danish wife of course had no influence at all! "Ten Best Stoves" articles seem to be everywhere https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/house-garden/best-log-wood-burners-burning-stove-a7456706.html

Now this is the only King Bee I recognise!

Buy some quality sliced bread, I prefer brown wholemeal Buy some decent butter and. cover three slices. Slap, slap, slap Buy some Norwegian smoked salmon slices from Lidl, half the price of anywhere else Schlaop, schlaop, schlaop. Buy a jar of decent powerful horseradish sauce and some Creme Fraiche and mix the two according to taste. spleayed, spleayed, spleayed Put the three lids on to complete thunk thunk thunk and Robert's yer mother's brother

Down with hot pants and up with mini skirts!

Here''s one for all you stump grinders!

Another version. I did like the country pickin at the start, not sure about the rest

Better start eating those beefburgers Stubby!

Totally agree with that. I saw a buzzard pick up a leveret for a bout 50 yards, it was screaming and the buzzard dropped it and settled in a tree nearby. Out of nowhere the mother hare came, I thought to comfort the apparently, little harmed leveret but instead she just jumped over it three times and then went off. I stayed around with the tractor until dark and there was no sign of a dead leveret the next day I have heard adult hares scream when wounded, which in fact stopped me ever shooting them again and that was when I was in my teens Vixens scream as has been said, Blood curdling! Munjac bark could be nearly a scream but not quite. Never heard a hedgehog scream or ever seen any evidence around the farm in 50 years of a badger killing one. The old gamekeepers used to suck the back of their hands to imitate a rabbit screaming to lure stoats and weasels out into the open to shoot them, as they were said to take young game or eggs. I have done this when I have seen a weasel disappear into a hedge, not to shoot it but just to see if it worked and it does. I have heard and read but only second hand that a stoat will pursue a rabbit for several hours. The rabbit will behave eventually in a very disorientated manner and can be seen lolloping through a field full of other rabbits pursued slowly by the stoat. The other rabbits take no notice as they know they are not on the menu but evntually the pursued rabbit stops and starts screaming even before being attacked as it knows there is no hope. Nature raw in tooth and............ Barn owls and Tawnys can make blood curdling sounds Last year my wife and I were awoken by a terrible screaming, which we thought in the end was a pair of Greylag geese seeing off a fox but in the morning we found a dead roe deer on the road which had been hit by a car which had badly broken its back leg. It was very upsetting to feel that the animal had suffered all that time when we thought that it was something else. Certainly the most distressing sound I have heard and do not wish to hear again

Cannot work out which one I prefer. You obviously need to eat a lot of hamburgers to play like these two. Kingfish is only 17

The single beat and single key reminded me of the "Pick a Bale of Cotton" song from "The Jerk" with Stave Martin.

Should help to solve the population and housing crisis in years to come.

I thought that you were taking the PPPproverbial but it seems not! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Magic-Salt-®-Himalayan-Fine/dp/B01BHTPFA2/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1530540989&sr=8-6&keywords=organic+salt

Eivor again maybe in the Faroes

That was a great link and has linked me with this lot, basically an old Scandinavian mixture. Eivor is from the Faroes and there is another one of her performing Trollabundin (meaning Spellbound) in a place that looks like the Faroes Heilung has over six million hits i could imagine many on arbtalk wanting to join in! Sounds a bit like the New Zealand rugby Haka at 6.20

Couldn't agree more Here is a link describing the Himalayan Rock salt https://draxe.com/pink-himalayan-salt/

All this seems to be the current medical theory but I cannot help wondering how our ancestors manged to survive a whole Winter eating hams that had been soaked in saltpetre , potassium nitrate. Maybe we need a little potassium as well as sodium and maybe that is what is in either the sea salt or the Himalayan rock salt that I have been using this week. The trouble is by going on a fresh food diet I was not putting in the salt that is automatically added to processed foods like bread and butter. It will be very interesting to hear the results from those of you who are trying just a little more. The recommendation is about a teaspoonful a day for a healthy adult.

Was it the sex , the drugs or the rock 'n roll??
