    Angry One more reason I hate wasps :(

    Farmer killed in attack by wasps
    A farmer has been stung to death by a swarm of wasps in East Yorkshire, his family has confirmed.

    Mark Evison, 47, had been cutting grass as he cleared a ditch in Ellerker, near South Cave, on Sunday evening when he disturbed a wasps' nest.

    Relatives said he had died after suffering a severe allergic reaction despite the efforts of paramedics.
    Even though I know it wasn't the fault of the wasps, I still hate 'em

    Even someone with no allergic reaction can die through the sheer volume of stings.

    Thankfully, none of Clunk's pictures are working for me.

    Anaphylactic shock is a nasty thing - they even knew he was allergic from past events, though I'm not sure why he didn't have an adrenaline pen.

    All the laughing left me struggling for air, despite every breath I took.

    Seriously though, a man had died because of the flying pestilence known as Wasps. RIP

    Re: One more reason I hate wasps :(

    And when they sting you you cant think: "it doesnt matter, your gonna fly off and die nao" like you can with bee's.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: One more reason I hate wasps :(

    One of my friends was recently stung on the side of his head by a Chinese Hornet in the South of France. He said it was like a bullet to the head. He went temporarily blind and fell over and his son (aged 14) had to carry him the his car and drive him home. Lucky it was an automatic.

    The hornets can grow to up to 1.8in and, with a wingspan of 3in, are renowned for inflicting a bite (sic) which has been compared to a hot nail entering the body.
    So keep your eyes open. These barstewards are dangerous.
