Ron Atkinsons Microphone Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I hadn't seen one for about 6 months and then I see 2 in my room in one night. Hate the little gimps, is it time for them to come back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Here's one I caught in the autumn, not the biggest, but plenty big for me. It's in a measuring jug, about the same size as a pint glass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I hope you done a thigh slapping dance on its head. It was released back into the wild of my garden with a stern warning. Spiders are good, spiders eat wasps, which are pure evil, and flies, which are disgusting. The only problem with spiders is that they are scary as ****. They move too fast for a small thing and they have too many legs. Also, they crawl over your face at night when you're asleep, which is not good. But if you can get over these things, and I'm trying to, you have to come to the conclusion that spiders are mostly cool, because of the eating flies and wasps thing. I cannot begin to tell you how much I hate flies, they are truly disgusting, eating s**t then landing on your sandwich. Vomiting on your chocolate or your slice of apple pie. Also, they come from maggots, freakin' maggots! Maggots make me squirm. My flesh is creeping now. I also hate cockroaches and once poured an entire kettle full of boiling water over a cockroach whilst doing a night shift. I was in a place surrounded with electrical equipment, switches and cable everywhere, not least under the floorboards, but regardless, I emptied a kettle over the fecker. I was on my own and this thing was the size of a cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del1812 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 My house seemed to turn into a club for the giant house spider's of Edinburgh throughout the summer. We caught and killed around 7 in the space of 3 months. I've heard the male ones are the ones you find running about the house as the frantically search for a female during mating season. Well we must have the neighbourhood bicycle somewhere in our floor boards if that's the case. It's now making me used to the feckers. Can't see me getting used to cockroaches though, even though I am going to Ibiza for the summer, absolutely hate the ****ers. Never seen a cockroach in my Edinburgh flat for the 21 years I've been here but if I ever do I'm moving out. Minging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart MacD Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Sydney is Cockroach Central. The only place I saw cockies in Edinburgh was around the dishwashing machine in Mackie's (yes, it was a while ago). We used to flick them into the machine with a towel. Spiders inside the house, no thanks, but outside they're good for martyring mossies . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Did it work? If they can survive a nuclear bomb how is some hot water going to do the trick? Of course it worked! I broiled the little git. They can't survive a nuclear bomb, they're not affected by radiation fallout, but you can blow them to **** with even a very small nuclear device.

jamboinglasgow Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I said an average person, so it'll be more like 8 for you See you tonight for a few beers my dear? I'm not archnaphobic, just dont like the b***ers, if they kept outside then eveything would be ok. Though believe it or not, I have a great fear of the fake spiders that you can buy. Think it stemmed from the big black one my older brothers chucked at me when I was young. But even when I go into a toy store I clench up when I see them, when I have children they will not be allowed to have them. According to the QI book of general ignorance (love that book, best fiver I have ever spent on a book) Cockroaches wont survive a nuclear war, they can withstand more radiation then us but are not the ones who survive, apparntly a fruit fly can survive 64x as much radiation as humans and the parasetic wasp can survive 180x. Why cant we be the ones who survive the most radiation or a nice fluffy puppy, not annoying insects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strachsuit Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I couldn't care less what spiders do for us in terms of eating flies/wasps etc. Quite frankly I hate the little 8-legged *******s. If I see a fly/wasp in my house, I will kill it myself I don't need an annoying little spider fecker doing it for me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
