The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
LOL - I was at my Dad's house the other day and he's got a nest of bumblebees in his backyard - and we were watching them - and I did the whole Covered In Bees bit - and he laughed, but I don't think he got it.
Oh well - tried to give the man a little culture
As for the article - that is the sort of thing nightmares are made of. I remember even reading a book about this girl who got taken over by bees and became a bee or something. It was really weird. Anyway, with 20,000 bees there's likely to be a very strange hum in your house.. always. ::shiver::
And while I can fully support the fact that they live in a historic district - give these people a break and let them get the bees out. Don't make them live with them just so the floor doesn't get damaged.
I like my coffee like I like my women... COVERED IN BEES!
I seem to recall that book too. Twas a long time ago, though. I shall research it sometime.
As for bees under the floorboards... Ya gotta ask... were they there then they moved in, in which case, why'd they buy a perpetually buzzing house? Or maybe the bees moved in later - which begs the question, how does the bee population get to 20000 before you notice?
Surely you could take the line that if you get stung, you can sue the Department for..er... Historical fFoorboards because they wouldn't let you fix the problem. Isn't there a Historical Floorboards Ombudsman that they could refer their case to? They'd soon back off. I guess it's a bit different in the States, where they're desperate to preserve the three pieces of history that they actually have!
Anyways... You wouldn't want to wander around barefoot, but if you want a bit of honey on your bread, all you have to do is wipe it on the floor!
