[pingusprogressed]

never understand spiders as pets :eek:
not like you can teach them tricks or get them to fetch etc

good photos though but thats close enough thanks

[Violetmay]

dougie nice pic.. I drowned my pet one by mistake... left a bath I was going to have, forgo... Harry got in and well. glug. He was big. Saved his mates though. Love the big blondi ones... it's weird I am scared of rational things.. that I know I am safe from, but fffing great spiders and insects, snakes etc.. no worries... still want to do borneo.:D

[Mrs Reject]

Spiders are just the work of the devil, if someone next door to me kept them i would move for sure.
Our new cat is a star, she kills them. Already this week we found three big ones flattened on the bedroom floor, murdered by one big hefty paw - looks like she jumped up and down on 'em too :D As long as she is with us I will be safe :)

[Shaun the Fatman]

Very bad luck apparently to kill house spiders... from a practical point of view I'd rather have these organic fly-traps in the house than those nasty flys... and don''t tell me you didn't blub at the end of Charlotte's Web....:D

Our cat is an organic fly-trap:D Ok I'll admit Charlottes web was kind of sad.

[Violetmay]

I have not seen Charlottes Web... I blub easy. Should I watch it.. and is it about spiders... and please tell me charlotte chruch isn't in it.:D

[Mrs Reject]

No Charlotte Church although I have a soft spot for that woman because she refuses to starve herself to death like the other stupid models, actresses and singers - in my mind this fanaticism to be thin is enslaving women just as much as a full length burka. I've got no bloody time for it :mad:
It does have a spider in it, a wise old spider who befriends a little piglet - very cute, you will definitely blub :)

[John Hopkins]

I'd show you a photo of the giant that came into my computer room but after a titanic battle it was defeated by one of my slippers. Thing is do they take weeks, months, or years to grow to that size this one was at least 12" bigger than that photo. There are 36 trillion spiders in Britain and it is our duty to kill them all, and did you know they are all members of a terrorist organisation. Now a magnifying glass, a sunny day and a big spider sitting in the middle of it's web, is better than a gas lighter in your lounge. Have you heard the urban legend about the lady who bought a vacuum cleaner from a door to door salesman. Well that same night her husband came home and cleaned a spiders nest from the corner of the lounge with it, then he thought, hold on they might all walk down the tube and back into the room, so he got a gas blowlamp and without lighting it he squirted gas into the switched off cleaner to kill the spiders, next morning his wife got up to clean the house with her new cleaner and when she switched it on the gas exploded. When the salesman came back he looked at the cleaner in astonishment,and gave her the money back, He said he had been selling them for years and had never seen anything like that before. The husband never said a word. :D John

[Mrs Reject]

Hahaha, that's the kind of thing I'd do. I'll lend you my spider squishing cat if you like, she is brilliant. No spider in the house can escape the mighty paw.

[John Hopkins]

That's why I ain't going to Aussie...... :eek:
Well,that and the snakes!


And the Strines! :D John

[Axeman]

Tut-tut, I dunno. A grown man like you scared of a tiny little thing like that! You give scot men a bad name! :rolleyes: :D :D

[Dougie]

So what phobias have YOU folks got,then? :confused:

[ernie the dwarf]

Wil be having another when we move to Scotland and get some room.. can't fit a decent vivarium in this place (6'dx12'wx6'h)

[Violetmay]

I've got a phobia about open stair cases where you can see through to the ground esp spiral one's.. Animal wise nothing.
