DIY disaster averted
Long ago before computers people used to have hobbies. Well allegedly so, my dad assure me this was the case.

He also told me how his friend used to have the unusual childhood hobby of bee keeping. My dad and his mate were round his house one day when his next door neighbour sticks his head over the fence

"excuse me young man, but I understand your good with bees. well there is a wasp's nest in my garage could you do something about it?"

well my dads mate lept at the chance. he rushed into action only to his eleven year old mind realizing that wasps are not bees. for a start they are more aggressive. 'well i better make some smoke to calm them down' thinks he. 'hmm what makes smoke?, well I have some matches here'

after the fire brigade had done their job, the neighbor thought well sod it I'm not having a 11 year old do my roof Ill get a professional to do it. the roofer came round and it was love at first sight. The neighbors wife and the roofer eloped to be as lovers, taking the money to start a new life leaving the roof unfinished.

for want of some tiles and timber a man lost his wife. hows that for a DIY disaster. As far as my dad knows his childhood friend still keeps bees.
