Argh! Bees!
Was putting some stuff in the loft (attic to you americans) for my parents, a couple of suitcases etc. Shoved one to the back corner, and carried on putting everything else up there too.

Before i go on i should explain that out loft doesnt have a ladder, you have to open a cupboard and stand on a chair, then stand on some nailed-in bits-of-wood which you can use as footholds. Easy enough to get up and down if you take your time.

Anyway, in the loft i heard some buzzing, and the next thing i know im literally surrounded by bees in this relatively small loft, with nowhere for them to go. My mum and dad were wondering what i was shouting about while i was up there, unaware that i was being stung A LOT. I basically ended up hanging by my fingertips out of the loft hatch, dropping down then quickly jamming the hatch shut.

Mum phones the pest removal people and came round in that afternoon, they said that one of the suitcases in the corner had squashed a big hive that had been there for yonks, when they had finished spraying it and they brought it down, it was bloody massive.
