    I stopped about 15 years ago or thereabouts, when I realised it was just like watching the same crap episode of a TV show over and over again.

    The same things happening in the same places and similar people (politicians) doing the exact same things as they were when I was about ten.

    Last summer we had a nest of ground-dwelling wasps, and they're nasty buggers, more aggressive than most, almost making the back garden a no go area. Got a man in to get rid of them.

    This year in almost the same spot we have a nest of bumble bees. I'm buzzing about that, bees are great. And we have some bushes and flowers very close by which they're loving. I'm just a bit concerned they won't be getting enough exercise. They're starting to look a bit chunky, and I'm not sure if obese bees is a thing. I'll do a bit of research.

    Bumble bees get very chunky given enough food hence the myth that they shouldn't be able to fly.

    I don't think they can actually over-eat, they know what they're doing, unlike us.

    No, I've looked into it on tinternet, and they have been known to pig out on the wrong stuff, just like us. But I can't find anything to suggest lack of exercise is a thing.

    Oh well there you go, just like me (he says having just ate two apple danish for second breakfast)

    Just spent over an hour cleaning the interior of the car. It hadn't been cleaned for months. The exterior of the car is washed and cleaned every fortnight or so, but not the interior.

    It was filthy: grit, sand, gravel, cherry stones (!), leaves, dust and £4.53 in loose change! Amazing that so much gets under the car mats.

    You're about eight quid shy of minimum wage there.
