They sound about like the same lot who were supposed to be trimming leylandii from 3phase going into the sewage treatment plant. Only after we found them on our side with a mountain of branches did the conversation start. It ended when my palm was crossed with silver.

And here, b##tards left branches strewn in my mowing grass and it was a neighbours pole/tree. Chap who sorts the jobs out in advance reckons they are a shite crew who's first question in the morning is " what time we knocking off"

The "hello mate" normally gets me peed off, and for any requests that follow the answer is always no. If the person does not have the manners to address me by my name there will be no co-operation, end off.

Yes this. It really gets on my tits. Im only young in farmer terms but i hate being adressed by people i dont know as mate. Had a twerp from network rail who was wanting the far end of everything who kept calling me mate, (i knew he was after me not using a land agent) so in the end got in the pickup and drove off, telling him to contact my agent.

Advertising stuff on which I get the reply "whats the minimum you'll take for it". I don't really know why that annoys me, it makes me want to give a really sarcastic reply but I am just to nice for that.
Also people advertising stuff for free when it isn't, or for €0.01 to get it on the top when you sort on price. I replied on one "I'll take it, when can I pick it up?" I didn't get a reply.

Masonry bees again. Hundreds in the bedroom and best room on Saturday. Found some pirimiphos methyl in the garden shed and sprayed the affected wall with it outside. Seemed to send them away. Unfortunately it seeped through the wall into the best room and stunk it out which didn’t please the Mrs but fortunately the smell has completely gone now, but the bees are back. While the bees were away I managed to find half a bag of cement in the village and pointed up the worst of the holes in the wall which seems to have stopped them getting in but they just won’t leave the outside wall alone, burrowing into the sandstone.
I like nature, but there is a limit. Fortunately they don’t seem aggressive and we haven’t been stung yet. Just hoping they settle down.

Have you tried contacting a local beekeeper?

 

[Forkdriver]

If they are masonry bees they are not that common. We had them in our last house and they really weren't a problem. Occasionally we would get a few in, but opened the window and out they went. Only active in early summer, they never caused damage. Most masonry bees form single cells. It sounds like you're bees may be honey bees. Indiscriminate spraying is not the answer. I concur with JLLM above.

The beekeeper is on his way. Honey bees. Several thousand now hung in a swarm on the side of the house at head height. Hopefully he can get them.

 

[DrWazzock]

Yes, he’s got the swarm into a hive and taken it away. Fascinating to watch as he scraped them in then the rest eventually went in, some walking along a mat in front of the hive to enter. Hopefully they go on alright.

 

[marcot]

"Annual Leave"
Why is every fudger on annual leave whenever you need to contact them?
WTF is Annual Leave anyway.....why can't they be on Holiday like most normal people? Oh no ...they are on bloody Annual bloody Leave!
Oh and its never Annual ...oh no its about 10 times a bloody year ...how can that be Annual leave ??????

FedEx Been all change last few weeks with them coming from a different hub.

Yesterday's Package that sat in Liverpool Hub since Saturday is out for Delivery until 7 pm from their Warrington hub then shows delivered and signed for at 8.55AM.

Not a chance they'd be here at 8.55AM Never have been and I was here watching Heartbeat with my Coffee at that time.

They’re the pikeys of the bee world . Irritable and feckless , travelling from god knows where to somewhere uninvited and inconvenient, following a trollop who will no doubt dislike her new settled home and swarm again

Is the creator an idiot when he can clearly sell air for serious sums.
I think he's onto a winner personally, because if people are dumb enough to fall for that shite - it's not his fault.

You also had the person selling a piece of white paper, which was sold for another rediculous sum..

The world is mad, and obviously people have surplus cash to waste..

You will flood the market and prices will drop.

Fair point, wish I’d thought of it first

Wonder how the owner will verify it when they come to sell, I mean, they could knock up a couple of counterfeits and photocopy the certificate......couldn’t they? How’d anyone check?

The mind boggles sometimes - and this is simply another example of how the planet is dumming down!

As for authenticity - the person authenticating it must be on the payroll I would have thought, as it is impossible to authenticate, as it simply does not exist - unless the authentication was from a psychiatrist who certified the artist as nuts
