Default Spiders

Love them or hate them, we live with them, and have to. This is an interesting little video on the BBC site and if you want to be really distasteful, go to 1:30......

Don't mind the cute critters. But then we don't have any of the naughty bitey ones native here.
My big sister on the other hand has a real phobia about them. You can't even say the S word without her screaming and hyperventilating

Spider's don't bother me, only wasps and bees!

Not bothered about spiders but when we moved here I went up into the floored loft to tidy up a bit before putting stuff up there. Saw a couple that were so large I'd swear they growled at me!

Sweet dreams.

I'm petrified of the gets. Like George who used to be in the LCOZ, kill em every time , no mercy. Wasps and bees I can cope with , but eight legged monsters and moths no.

Yes we do...


I put my jacket on and there must have been one hiding in the sleeve, for it bit my arm. My arm swelled up as a result of the bite and I ended up having to see an emergency doctor.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
