• 12:15:21: Giant bumble bee in the house! I thought it was the neighbour's lawn mower. Why do they find it so easy to get in and so hard to get out?
  
• 12:19:21: @wtfbrain If it is, it's very cunningly disguised as a giant bee
  
• 12:24:11: I've opened the front door for the giant bee, but seems he's happy just to cling to the ceiling
