A fairly large wasp nest in our garden (this morning photo).
That's big.
I try to have a live and let live policy for most things, although I don't like wasps too much. The last one that stung me, a black one, came out of the tree where it was nesting and stung me as I walked past, completely unprovoked. My arm was bad for a week.
By chance, this weekend I saw a wasp that looked the same as your picture, black with a broad orange stripe. It was feeding in the banana flowers. Only the one, I hope there is no nest nearby. It was pretty big, maybe 4cm long.
I have a small crater on my leg, which I pass off as an honourably-gotten traumatic injury. In reality, some neighbours and I had caught a burglar and as I was standing on his arm waiting for the police to arrive, he leaned over and bit me. Bloody hurt, too.
I later got a commendation from the police for being injured whilst foiling a crime
A few years later, disgusted after seeing a peaceful old man at an environmental protest being taken away in a wrist lock, I sent it back and told the police to get fvcked. Pricks...
^ I've just 'got fucked'!
The Mount prison? I have never been inside the place! Now Pattaya Court jail - that's a different matter
Ricky is where I spent 6 months in an office writing my (slightly infamous) 'Natachata' sex-chat SMS AI software, which the BBC later said was the best candidate for passing the Turing Test that they had ever seen.

After I wrote this software in Ricky, I then wanted to launch a gay sex-chat program. So rather than trying to write gay sex-chat phrases myself, (honest! I wouldn't know where to start...), I employed a very nice young man who spent his days in my office writing steamy gay sex-chat lines. I have to be honest and say that I didn't understand many of the words that he used...
Actually, that gay sex-chat never really 'took off'. Perhaps the guy I employed to populate the database of gay phrases was taking the piss! I always wondered about "Let me slide my Yorkshire banger inside your bread roll"!!
