Spiders

Not me - the 8 legged variety

 

2 incidents today

 

1) Got out of the shower and dried my face with the towel. Big black smear all across my face. With about 8 legs. Not happy, back in the shower.

 

2) A spider the size of an X5 comes scurrying out of my acoustic guitar just as I'm about to rip some licks. Guitar falls to floor. Not happy.

 

It's something to do with Ramadan, bet ya.

Got one of them under a empty pint glass in my living room right now. Is there such a thing as a homing spider? I'll throw this one I've caught out and I bet it will be back later in the week. Think I'll put a little hat on it so I know it is the same one that keeps coming back.

Nowt wrong with house spiders. We used to have one that at 10pm every night, on the dot, would walk from under the telly to under the couch. They eat all the smaller moggies in the house that the hoover doesnt get.

Found 1 in the kitchen sink this morinin.

 

Took me about 5 goes with some kitchen roll to get it out.

 

When I eventually did do it webbed down to the floor and then ran under the fridge.

 

The cheeky c?nt never thanked me for not drowning it.....

 

:angry:

Cue Bolty with a tale about how much larger Aussie spiders are..........................

The smaller ones are more dangerous :p

i pegged some washing out yesterday and had to knock a big hairy back spider off the line and chased it right out the garden

 

didn't bring the washing in until today,but guess who was sat in the same spot with a fookin big grin on his face

 

can't stand em,but frogs are worse

There's 3 stripey ones live by the front door, do no harm. In fact, I noticed this morning that one of them had caught a great big moth, and had eaten most of it by this evening. I did have a stripey one in the living room, but it died :( Have just got one of those big buggers that does a turn around 10 now :D

Dont be a di*k, just take it to the animal shelter and ask them to chip it.

Used to keep two Huntsmen ( Type of tarantula ) spiders in my bedroom in Perth,Oz. Had to move them when the girlfriend stayed over and one my mates cats got them.

 

We also used to hide the emergency keys in a Redback ( black widow ) nest. You had to fish them out with a stick.

That's a stupid suggestion,it would cost a fortune. Just paint one of it's legs red or give it a tattoo - job done

They dont charge people with special needs.

Some f?cker'll nick it before weekend.

Id like to see a pocket that big!!

Apparently you swallow on average 8 spiders a year when you are asleep. There's one lives in the corner of my bedroom, but not seen him for a while to I might have eat him.

 

Having spiders in your house is a good sign - means you've no mice.
