Actually I was thinking of using the broom to take the nest down while the wasps were away. BUT! Your plan will work as well.

Bring on that rat!!

I would happily trade you problems. Those wasp sprays that go 25 feet, will take that problem out in no time flat. Have fun gunning them down!

A rat problem? Bleah! I have a wasp problem myself. They decided to make themselves at home by the outdoor kitchen air vent (inside the hood). I'll have to get rid of them before I leave the country.

Pissing me off, or scaring the hell out of me?? Two days ago a rat moved into my daughter's bed room. I've brought every rat trapping object to our defense and yet still, the big bastard is not dead yet. Got glue traps today to add to the mayhem, and loaded the foundation with poison.  I hope it dies or gets caught soon.  It's big, it's loud, and it hisses at times, strangely enough, it makes a noise like a dog shaking off water on occasion. I hate this demon.  My dog is afraid of it. I sent Flora to stay with her grandfather until this menace if removed from my home. Just in case I bought an old fashioned heavy broom so I don't have to worry about swinging it full force if I happen to stumble upon it on it's little trips to the kitchen, which it may as well give up on since I don't have a scrape for it to eat! Bastard Rat! I can't wait til he's dead so I can disinfect the entire house!

Well first off "black metal" is dead and has been for the last 10 years. The only worthy bands in bblack metal are the bands that came out before the year 2000.And only a small selective bands are even worthy at that.Nobody hails them as "evil" except nowaday losers. I remember back in 93' buying a few cds,at least they were doing something different and it wasn't a trend,at that time death metal was the trend and black metal was hidden,you couldn't find hardly anybody who liked this music back then.Nowadays "fuck black metal".


Yeah I get what your saying don't get me wrong,but Iron Maiden on stage just looks "dull".  Of course I wouldn't want them to sport spandex lofl! How about black boots,dark black normal fit levi jeans,blacks metal-orianated shirts and black leather jackets ect... it doesn't even have to be spikes or studs,at least "Janic Gers" looks heavy metal,hes just irritating to watch ha!  Its just with the look of Bruce with the baggy pants and the beanie Beatie Boy-like cap he wears and with Steve wearing a soccer....(sorry....."football") jersey sometimes it just looks dull and to top it off with the band's "nu" sound they have created with Somewhere In Time all the way up to El Dorado and The Final Frontier track so far.

It all lacks vintage "pure" Iron Maiden. With Angel Of Retribution and songs like Judas Rising,Deal With The Devil,Demonizer,Eulegy,Hellrider,Wheels Of Fire  sounds like something that could match up to any tracks off of Screaming For Vengeance or Defenders Of The Faith and even Worth Fighting For sounds something like Desert Plains,like the album or not it sounds like classic Judas Priest and in my opinion is the band's 5th best LP. But Maiden doesn't have 1 album that can even come close to Powerslave or of course anything before it and thats unacceptable for me.

J.D., I'm fine wih everything you said there apart from 'Image means everything', because I'm not sure you meant it as fully as you wrote- what about all the so-called Black Metal bands that wear the spikes and paint and are musically shite, but are still considered 'evil' just for their image? I guess its best to have the image and the music, but surely the music is everything, image is secondary to that. 

(Its also a view I disagree with because its an increasing trend in this country for some metalheads to look down on or even abuse others who don't 'wear the uniform' regardless of musical taste, as if the image were the most important thing, and that there can be no variety. If there is no variety in image, then there would probably be less variety in the music. Not to mention its the kind of behaviour that reinforces a negative view of the metal community. I know you would never think or act like that, but it is a view that can be twisted round and taken in a bad way)

I realise that was going off the point and has nothing to do with Maiden, and yes, sometimes I do think Bruce could make more of an effort, he looked cool when I saw them in 08, but at Download in 07 he have just in baggy black and trainers, it did look a tad naff, but looking back over some older pictures of him, he always dressed a bit-- naff. Sure, there were spikes and chains, but also yellow spandex and long socks. In fact, barring around the time of Fear of the Dark, I have never seen pictures of him in full leather. And the rest of the band only seemed to wear the spandex, not the chains etc. I would rather see them dressing the way they do now than in said 80s spandex, (especially now they are all over 50) and the other five guys still have the long hair, they aren't totally un-metal looking.

LOL!  Well its just an opinion,but both albums have 2 songs that are of less quality,"The Dullists" and "Back In The Village" and on Retribution "Revolution" and "Lochness" but all other tracks on Angel Of Retribution top those of Powerslave by a couple of yards like Judas Rising,Demonizer and Hellrider...those 3 songs alone top any track on Powerslave but I'm sure not here to convince you of that,both are great albums but I'm just giving credit where credit is due! LOL!

And the beanie rap boy hat that Bruce wears spanks big time. The baggy pants are crappy and shows that Bruce doesn't have as much passion for heavy metal that Rob Halford does or many other "metal" artists for that matter. Look at Dio,he never sported spikes,but he always had a medieval image,mystical with some studs ect...he always looked "metal" while Bruce used to support this image to a point.

Take a look at the band photo in the CD booklet of "A Matter Of Life And Death" as Bruce is wearing blue jeans and a green or grey shirt with some random logo on it,it looks like he was outside mowing the yard,a far cry from an image he used to support with studs and spikes ect.... It just shows me that the band is lazy and are not giving the fans 100%. Thats why I've always hailed Rob Halford,he always looks metal where it counts.

Rob wears normal cloths but not on stage or in CD booklets like Bruce and Maiden does. Don't get me wrong,if Maiden were decked out in full spikes ect...it wouldn't change my opinions of the music because the music is the most important but it makes the listener wonder if Maiden never astrayed away from studs and spikes,black/leather ect...what would thier mind-set and attitude be like all these years? Maybe they would of been making albums like "The Number Of The Beast or Piece Of Mind perhaps? Image means everything in the realm of heavy metal and like thier music,Iron Maiden have again come up short.

What did you expect him to say? That he thinks he's better than Rob? lol. I agree there are things Rob can do that Bruce cant. There are also things Bruce can do that Rob can't so it works both ways. See what I'm saying?  Yes Dio is awesome and almost had him tied with Bruce but not quite. .....I don't know, their close.
[HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS] Wednesday, July 21, 2010 6:06:13 PM 
Yes, Dio was a MUCH better vocalist and lyricist than Bruce could ever hope to be! Even Bruce admitted that Rob was amazing and could do things HE CAN NOT DO! So, even Bruce admits that he in fact is FAR BEHIND Rob! Believe what you want Brian, but the METAL GOD is THE METAL GOD for a reason and Bruce can't come close!!!

I would say over the years Bruce has been the second best metal vocalist and not far behind rob. And i still don't see a problem with the baggy pants. But to each his own. I think Aces High alone puts Powerslave above AOR.
[J.D. DIAMOND] Tuesday, July 20, 2010 2:48:19 PM 
Actually thinking about it I take that back,I don't think Angel Of Retribution is far better than Powerslave but rather a step ahead of it with Powerslave almost there. The best Iron Maiden albums are Killers and debut Iron Maiden album. I like Paul Di Anno's vocals better than Bruce however I hate Paul's vocals nowadays. I just like the Maiden albums with Di Anno better than I like Bruce. I think Bruce gets to dramatic at times. There is no way that Bruce is close to Rob Halford's vocal talent though and thats not saying that Bruce isn't a good vocalist because he is,but nowhere near The Metal God.

Yeah Angel Of Retribution with the crappy Lochness is far better than Powerslave as I hate "The Dullists" lol! Powerslave is not far behind though. And yeah,Bruce with those baggy pants and especially that beanie rap hat he wears spanks of bad taste for an outfit onstage,he used to support leather and studs and now its The Beastie Boys and that fuckin "sucks balls" and that prancing marching band moving Janic Gers is so irritating to watch its cringe worthy!

AOR far better than Powerslave, I have to disagree with that. Ha! And whats the prob. with baggy pants? Looks like they would be more comfortable on stage. Especially with the way Bruce runs around. Function over form. Ha!

First off,I'm no "fanboy" as you already know smartass(lol) and the 1997 Jugulator album is not Priest's best but it blows away anything Iron Maiden has released after the 1984 Powerslave album easily. The Demolition album is utterly terible and spanks of poor song writting.  Priest released 5 studio albums from 1990 till now,Maiden has released 8 counting the new Final Frontier. Painkiller,Jugulator and Angel Of Retribution are good albums,however out of all 8 albums from Maiden there is only 1 album thats decent (for Iron Maiden) and thats A Matter Of Life And Death,but even that album is nowhere near thier old stuff. Angel Of Retribution alone is better than Powerslave by far.

I am partial to Nostradamus, the Ripper era releases I can take or leave. It just shows I am much more of a Priest fan than a Maiden fan when I say I'd take basically 3 Priest albums over Maidens catalogue from 1990 forwards.

I don't know Becks, over the past twenty years it's hard for me to say that Priest has been any better than Maiden, especially after the Nostradamus release. Seems like most people can't stand the Tim Owens albums so that just leaves AOR. Thats one in 20 years. Do you like the Ripper cd's and Nostradamus? How about you Saxon fanboy...you like those???
