A theatre director who was allergic to wasps died after he was stung and fell from a ladder, an inquest heard.
Michael Gibson, 66, told his wife he was going to remove a wasps’ nest from the roof of their home in Louth, Lincolnshire, on November 2.
But after he had climbed the ladder in the rain, Mr Gibson, who had been drinking and was wearing slippers, was stung and plunged to the ground.
I’m merely surprised he reached the grand old age of 66.
I’m surprised he managed to climb the ladder…
Climbing up is easy, decent more difficult. He took a fatal shortcut down.
Tis a wonder he didn’t put a noose over his head- just in case.
Allergic to wasp stings I assume?
Allergy, roof, ladders, slippers, rain, drunk — how did he survive his teens?
Darwin award possible as Stepdaughter.

His job description gives the game away. Gotta be a luvvie with a job like that, and thus must also be a raving lefty; hence bugger all common sense.
Sorted.
Well spotted!
Well, yeah, sort of goes without saying, I guess.
Sorry to be OT but I followed a link from the comments at Samizdata and found an interesting website. It is no longer being updated but the archive is well worth a look.

The essay entitled March of the Zealots is well worth a read and hammers some of the issues that you have often dealt with here in a very cogent and concise manner.
Sorry LR but I’m doing it again, have you seen today’s Dilbert cartoon?
