Forget the hedgehog, there's a massive hornet in the shed.

Well, to be fair, I don't know that it is a massive hornet – I have no idea what passes for large in the hornet world – but it's definitely far too big to be a wasp, and it can't stay in there if it's likely to monster the boysies.

According to Wikipedia:

"It is not advised to kill a hornet anywhere near a nest, as the distress signal can trigger the entire nest to attack."

Now, I don't know how true that is, but I'm rather hoping that we can come to a peaceful conclusion.

Either that, or that there isn't a nest anywhere near the shed.

Bug-Busting

I can't seem to find it on the Internet anymore, but there used to be a place that sold life-size (8') replica aliens – from the movie of the same name.

Admittedly, they were a little too expensive – and pointless, if I'm entirely honest – for me, but I came up with this idea.

I'm not a big fan of spiders, as you may or may not know, and it has been known for me to approach friends and family members for help in removing them from my home.

I remember thinking that it would be funny to set up a life-size alien in my bath, then call my dad and ask him to come over and dispose of a "nasty-looking beastie".

It would probably be funny right up until the moment he walked into the bathroom and had a coronary, anyway.
