Bee

Karl: I was in the school team, I wasn't that good as a kid at football to be honest, mainly down to me dad because he wasn't into football and I think that's the way it works, if your dad's into it then you can be a footballer when you're older. Steve: Yup. Karl: And erm, so I was in the school team because I got on with the other lads, they let me in the team. Steve: Popular guy yeah. Karl: And erm, yeah I was stood there doin nothin coz I didn't really knew what to do, I never knew which way I was meant to be shootin, got all that messed up. Ricky: Yeah, that is a pain. Karl: I just stood there, with me hands behind me back, and somethin landed on this part of me thumb. Ricky: You can't just point, it's radio. Karl: It's this bit 'ere. Ricky: The fleshy bit of the thumb. Karl: And I thought oh what's that, and I looked down and it was a bee, it was a bee on me, so I start runnin tryin to get away from it and bees, actually somethin interestin about bees, more chance of gettin stung by a bee in windy weather than any other sort of weather. Ricky: (laughs) Steve: That's incredible. Ricky: (laughs) And he said there was no more. Steve: Extraordinary, I've already learnt many many things. You're being chased by the bee. Karl: So I'm runnin... Ricky: It's on your thumb, is it still on your thumb now? Karl: It's sort of grippin on to me like a stag beetle. Ricky: (laughs) Like a stag beetle! Steve: Or a bee. Karl: So I'm runnin, I'm runnin towards like the goal, oh god, and the ball comes to me, whallop, get it in. Steve: Brilliant, what happened to the bee though, did it sting you? Karl: They die don't they? Steve: I mean ultimately it died sure, but at that particular moment did it sting you? Ricky: I mean, this was probably about 20 years ago so I imagine... Karl: No, no, no, once a bee stings you that's it. Ricky: Yeah but did it sting you? Karl: Yeah. Steve: Right, that was the question. Ricky: When did it sting you? Karl: When I was playin football. Ricky: (laughs) Steve: Karl do you mind me asking, you say you were on the school football team, were there just 11 boys at your school? Ricky: (laughs) Listen Karl, what I mean is at what point during this story did the bee sting you? Straight away or... Karl: After half-time. Ricky: (laughs) Oh he's the best.
