My thoughts exactly, I would have obliterated the b' stard. These things do not deserve to exist.

My oldest lad was bit on the leg by a false widow at work a couple of years ago, it took about 10 days to settle and was quite uncomfortable. I m of the Hoover or hammer brigade when it comes to spiders, about 15 years ago we lived in a thatched cottage and would always have problems with mice and occasionally rats, one evening in the middle of winter we had the open fire burning away whilst watching TV and out of the corner of my eye something moved on the rug, I kept watching and seen it again. At first I thought it was a mouse but on closer inspection it was a huge spider, straight away i picked up a video cassette in its case ( yes I know but it was 15 years ago and we still used them ) and dropped it on to the spider, NAUGHTY WORD me the case pinned it down but was at a 45°(exaggeration) angle so i picked up the companion set shovel from the fireplace and as soon as I lifted the video case the NAUGHTY WORD shot off with me after it , 2 swipes later and it was no more, never seen a spider as big before or since then and I've been around a lot of barns on a farm my lad worked on.

I remember eating lunch whilst cycle touring in south OZ, in a small old wooden bus shelter, when on looking behind my wife, I saw loads of webs. I then turned around and looked just behind my head and saw my first redback. It never moved so was no threat. On cycling out of the small town we noticed a banner over the entrance to a sports complex that named the local team ‘redbacks’.

I often take a cup of milk up to bed with me and place it on my bedside table, so if I wake, and have a dry mouth, I can have a sip.
One morning, I reached for the cup, and put it to my lips to have a drink. Instead of the liquid I was expecting, I got a mouthful of a bulbous body and a lot of legs. It had climbed into the cup while I slept. I spat it out in an absolute panic, I suppose the spider got a fright too, it was off at top speed over the duvet. I can safely say, I got the fright of my life. I always, always cover the top of the cup now. |

I was eating a mango for breakfast and the maggots were the same colour as the inside of the mango and I am fairly certain I swallowed them before I noticed a funny taste. Do check your mangoes |
