What’s the point of having a tournament if one of the teams is invincible?

A clear lack of imagination. I would have liked to see the Unmentionables tackle the Unspeakables, or the Ineffables versus the Immortals; or even the Inaccesibles vs the Untouchables?

HPGs Review Corner!
Hello everyone, HPG here with a new feature: Review Corner.
Today, I will review Being Stung By A Bee For The First Time Since I Was A Child.
Review: Ow! That hurts, a surprising amount. Do not recommend.
Thank you.

I concur with that review, and would like to add that it’s especially unpleasant when the bee stings you on top of the head (where the hair used to be).
Definitely not to be encouraged.

Thank you for your review. I will add that I also don’t recommend having yourself get attacked by wasps while accidentally threatening to destroy their nest, or having yourself get bitten by a fire ant behind the ear where there’s nothing but skin and bones. The latter was one of the most painful experiences I remember.

I just got stung by a wasp if that’s any help.
Open cans and bowls of cat food attract wasps, especially in warmer climates.
I’d already swatted the bastard, so fair play.

Earlier this summer I hit a hornet for four with a wooden spatula. It bounced off the kitchen floor and sailed over the stairs outside into the flower bed behind them where it took an hour or so to recover. Poor thing.

I very sort-of regret to say I’ve swatted (very firmly) quite a lot of wasps and some hornets too this summer.
Sunset-time is always greeted warmly here just now because they all bugger off, to come back tomorrow.

In silver linings time, Dorries and Patel have quit.
Here’s praying they don’t get ermine linings next, although by rights anyone ennobled by Johnson should simply be shot to save the unnecessary expense of a trial.

This is a delight.
What’s that saying, “you can fool some of the people all of the time…”
