Many children would have needed counselling!

As a child of about 8 DD was up the garden when she suddenly started waving madly and jumping about. I did nothing and then realised something was wrong.

A swarm of bees had enveloped her. She had many stings, mostly on her scalp as they had gone into her hair and on her neck and hands. I collected quite a few stings as I tried to pull her clothes off and disentangle them from her hair.


Next door had a 'friend' seeing to their hives whilst they were away, and he had disturbed them at the wrong time of day. The bees left the hive in a state of agitation and came straight over the hedge to where DD was playing.

She said it was not the bees fault and does not seem to have an aversion. We have had a 'cast' and swarm here since.

Sounds bland now, but felt awful then.

I think it sounds horrific, and we had the bees for a short while!

I am beta testing the new forum. Don't know why I was picked.

Not sure if I don't like it because it is new and strange or if i just don't like it.

For starters, the first post remains on each page.

I don't like change....

I can't seem to open up the thread at the next unread post. Which is a pain. Or am I missing something?

I also can't see if my post has been posted.

I thought I'd quote you to show that it had. Are you still beta-testing? Sounds like there may be a few bugs in it still.

I get very little in the way of corporate freebies, but I do get presents from grateful clients, often including alcohol. There is a case of 12 bottles of something in Chambers awaiting my working out a way to lug it home, and another box with coffee, chocolate and biscuits.

One at a time?

It's a short, and not very serious, thing. But entirely true, in every respect. Includes, for example:

Conference

A meeting where the barrister pretends to have read the papers, the solicitor pretends to be interested in what the barrister says and the client produces a story from the Daily Mail demanding to know why his case is not being treated in the same way.

So sorry to hear this. I haven't read to the end of the thread yet for an update, but hope you get something sorted with the phone call to the ward and get some relief from this really soon.

The funniest part of the day was seeing all the secret service men dressed in raincoats and with short hair, nursing pints and trying to blend in at the student bar.

Offer accepted at 99.2% of asking price. Even Kirsty Allsop could have done better than that.... All we have to do now is wait 3 months for the seller to find somewhere and then get gazumped.

Congratulations :beer:
