Martin fears retiring to bed because his mother said there was a Queen Wasp loose in the house earlier. He fears it.

Have i missed the point?

martin needs a wasp swatter

sonataform would have run screaming from the house if he had heard there was a Queen Wasp on the loose, and sympathises with Martin's predicament.

sonataform also congratulates Martin on his splendid screen name.

superpyroman decides to refer to himself in the second person despite the point of the thread

you're having fun there superpyroman.

Martin has strange ideas for threads...

Yes... melody_maker agrees with Odball...

Hmm...appleblossom reaches for the can of wasp zapper..problem sorted!

I suspect Martin may be something to do with Jamie...

superpyroman is curious in what way mwl1 suspects that.

Newspapers work equally well, in cd's opinion........

Perhaps Martin should hide under the duvet until the danger has passed

Someone thinks that Martin ought to be residing in the games section.

Will he be safe from wasps in there?

I think Martin agrees with sbhoa.

Drumkat suggests to Martin to listen out for buzzing, and if Martin can not hear any, Drumkat believes Martin is probably safe.

Martin says third person is not a game, it is a way of life.

He asks everyone how're they're getting on. He just got back from work at waitrose, he hates it.

Drumkat is fine. She has been 'working' all day, although she found herself distracted incredibly easily, resulting in little work being done.

Bobifier has no clothes on!

He is about to go to bed

Thanks for telling us that useful piece of information

Petrat is going to have a bath now, and she hopes that there will be no bees there. She is a little concerned as the bee keeper was in her field today collecting honey from the hives. She is quite allergic to bees and their keepers.

Skylark likes bees. They are a delicacy compared with worms and flies. There is a certain piquant in their tail end.

Tori is sad that her chickens did not arrive

Martin's friend has chickens, one died.

That is the end of his story.

Who? Martin or Martin's friend?

Martin's story about his friend's chickens. Of course.

Petra's chickens are alive and well and laying lots of eggs for her and her family. Petra likes the style of this thread very much. She finds it quite imaginative.

sonataform is as of one mind with petrat on this matter.

(Meaning the style of the thread. sonataform has very little experience of chickens.)

SueHM is spending far too much time on the forums. She was annoyed to find that a person or persons unknown had altered the registrations on the organ this morning. May they be pursued by many bees.

sonataform is ridiculously delighted by this phrase and intends to use it at every opportunity from now on.

Petra was amused that someone altered SueHM's organ stops and wishes that she had been there to enjoy the fun. She hopes that all of their camels will grow fat.

Martin has never played an organ.

Petra thinks that Martin must have led a very sheltered life. She has played several organs with style and enthusiasm.

Hamster has come along to view the computer. It's time for him to wake up now. He's much mystified by all this talk of bees, chickens and camels and now he's walking over the keyboard a93h5 13q8880='[=

Sue's cat is lurking. Look out Mr Hamster

Ooh no! Hamster's reaction to cats is much like Martin's reactions to Queen Wasps - he's off, back to the safety of the cage next to the goldfish krln'o'#1259+.

Petra thinks that it would be perfectly possible to use that work of the hamster's as the basis for a theme and variations on the organ. She thinks that the resulting pattern of notes would be very interesting.

A B Bflat E A D Bflat Bflat Bflat G F E F.

Petra thinks that a whole tone scale accompaniment could be most effective.

And the bee could be worked in there somewhere as well if it ever turns up. Anyone care to suggest a suitable stop?

Yes, hamster likes walking over that sort of keyboard too, but he does have trouble with guitars, woodwind and brass in particular. Yes, definitely brass, especially when the young human of the family has to have his trumpet lesson in the same room as hamster's cage. Hamster puts in a request for hamster-sized earplugs.

Hamster has just seen above post, and puts in a request that it's not the tromba, or 16 foot reeds, but something delicate like a flute or larigot.

Petra suggests the vox hamstura

Beverley thinks that the majority of people on this thread are barking mad
Beverley.

Woof said Sue

GGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr said Beverley.

Petra is much offended by that remark and she hopes that none of The Old Lady's camels will grow fat, ever.

The trouble with the vox hamstura is that it's only a nocturnal stop, so all the early birds of a Sunday morning won't hear its beautiful sound.

As The Old Lady has no camels whatsoever, she is "Not Bovvered"

The Old Lady has been sucked in by the madness. Abandon hope all ye who enter here

Hamster's just come over to see what's going on with all this raucous laughter and he thinks that maybe a bit too much of the red wine has been imbibed!!!
