Anybody else seen one?

ABsoutely. They live everywhere near me, and they are huge, so they can be really scary. They are part of our ecosystem too though, so i try to avoid killing them except when they are in the house. I enjoy looking at their abandoned nests. How could something we consider inferior and brainless buld such complicated structures. hornets are cool, and they usualy do not sting you.

I'm in TX and my son's schools' mascot is a hornet but I have bad eyesight so I can't say that I have-I did sit on a bee once. It stung for a minute but I must have a great immune system geared for that b/c after about 5 minutes, it went away. No swelling or itching-nothing. I have seen (and felt) plenty of wasps. They suck!
Edit: If you live in England and you guys aren't accustomed to flying, stinging insects-that's just more incentive for me to move there.

I saw one in Suffolk. In fact I had never seen one before and didn't realise how huge they are! I was thinking it was just a little bigger than a queen wasp but this thing was at least 5 times bigger! And it was in the house!

OMG! No!
They sound really scary - I don't even like bluebottles 'cos they buzz - and they don't even sting!
Maybe I need to reconsider my thoughts on global warming being a good thing to us that live in the chilly north of England!
