Re: Bumble Bees in the Bathroom

Thanks Tony but I cant work out how thw second one got in? Unless they arrived together and that one was still under the bath when I shut the windows? The cat is convinced there's rats under the bath, maybe there's a way in from outside that the bees found?

Re: Bumble Bees in the Bathroom

There seems to be a lot about with the unusual warm weather but I can't understand how the second one got in the bathroom when the windows were shut! Going to have a bath in a minute so will be wary of buzzing noises under the bath!

Re: whats in your kitchen?

Beercans. Lots of beercans. For some reason I always seem to buy empty ones. Last edible thing I saw in there was a rat.

Re: Leprechauns, Fairies and other little people

When I was small I lost a tooth and put in under the pillow and woke to find a shiny sixpence. A few days later we had pig's head for dinner so I removed a tooth from it and told my mother I had lost another tooth and would put it under my pillow. In the morning it was gone and in it's place was a p...
