State of the Game

[Bottom Hat]

It scared me a bit- firstly having a ceiling beam split to begin with, bit also having to get 1.5m long planks of wood, clamp them onto the beam, cut 1 inch holes through the lot, and then make the thickest bolts I could to support it all.

5 years prior I was moving a syringe 0.5ml at a time into a Kabiven 9 bag, now I'm drilling holes through structural elements of my house

Very very different skill sets right?! I find the same, not that I have done as much physical manufacturing as yourself, but the physical principles couldn't be much further from each other!

I did enjoy being a Top Gun aeseptic guy. The look on the noobs faces when making chemo in the dark, or having to reconstitute as slowly as possible to minimise waste / air bubbles.

The best was dressing up in the low shedding suits and masks, because I was pervy like that.

I also have joy joy feelz remembering when my immediate superiors bought a very expensive peristaltic pump to make pre filled cyclophosphamide syringes. I was testing it out and told them flat it was crap- they looked at me as if I was some idiot and said they'd show me how to do it properly......aannndddd...them cocking it up- it was hard not to laugh as they created a cyclo fountain inside an isolator and them panicking.

@bangermsuk are you aboard?

I love drilling holes.

Especially tight fitting ones.

I've just had enjoyable hour screwing on the allotment.
We now hove repaired bee houses with the precious cargo intact - unlike previous attempts at DIY there's no injuries and no fire, so i call it a success.

The are wild masonry bees and we've got a deal - I create terrible looking bee houses for them and they pollinate all my strawberries.

Where I live insects ignore all that in the garden and just find any (or just make) crevices to live in

We've got 3 bee houses - an expensive one, an architect designed hand made one and a cheap broken one.
They all live in the broken one which is why I've had to sure it up.

Bee rightmove must have some decent / old pictures of it online.

Asiatic hornets are now endemic where I live, but I've only ever seen them once get stuck into a bee.

But saying that I do have these as bees as well:

Airwolf theme plays

Even the Euro Hornets think twice

I never understood why some trusts didn't involve techs in the purchasing - we had a similar episode to yours for 5fu pumps, and nobody thought to ask the people who would be making 99% of the things!

Plus those suits were saucy, I agree!

That is a pretty sturdy looking fence!

I'm with you, I hate flying things that sting. Bees are right on the cusp, but wasps are evil and malicious little aunts!

What a beauty. I bet you can hear that one coming from miles away.

Unfortunately the environment hating uk government have decided to allow previously banned bee killing pesticides to be used again so bees going to be having a hard time for the foreseeable future.

I'm lucky where I live in central France in that most farming is livestock and very little is plants. Go further North and there are huge open areas where all sorts is sprayed out over crops.

Other fun insects / nightmares include Stag Beetles flying around at dusk, and humming bird moths that sound like hornets too
