Watch out for the false Black Widow spider that's arrived in this country! It's not as venomous as the real one, but can give you a nasty bite nonetheless. Disappointed


CQ forever!

Hey, if they can ride the lift to my flat they can do anything.

Call an airline, book tickets (probably using a stolen credit card), board the plane, talk their way into first class, fall into a glass or two of bubbly etc. When they arrive their first act is to book into a hotel, make mad passionate love, then lay millions of eggs. It's only natural.

I have gone the whole was. Scared stiff as a kid, fine with them now, indifferent. Even a pic or film of one of those huge ones has no impact Smile.

In my case, it was anxiety. I was a scared anxious kid and that was one way of expressing it.

I heard that you eat 8 spiders too. But they get their own back in the end (assuming you are buried) Wink.

You've just reminded me of something I heard from years ago.

Apparently Humans will swallow about 8 Spiders, whilst asleep, during the course of their lifetime!!! Sick That's on average of course, the ones with a larger appetite, may eat more! Lol Big Grin

It's bad luck to kill a spider Eek Not keen on them but at least they eat flies, Whty are flies so stupid anyway, they fly in through a wide open door then they're too thick to fly back out the same way! Roll Eyes

Why do flies do that stupid thing where they fly around ceiling lights? They always fly in straight lines and change direction without even slowing down. Stupid stupid stupid creatures. They make spiders look like members of mensa.

Its true, they can see and hear you. They're not daft. Not the ones I've seen, how could they be when they're wearing boots and a helmet.
The old saying goes.
"If you want to live and thrive, let the spider run alive."
I think the spiders know it too.
I dont like them, I go all wobbly when I see one. It cant harm me yet it might as well be King Kong . Disappointed


Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone.
If you enjoy something once,. Do it again. .

Sandy, keep forgetting this on CQ,but re your flies, have you got a fan you can keep on in the kitchen? Flies can't fly when the wind is above a certain speed so keep the fan pointing where they come in & they won't be able to come in, you might get blown about though! Wink

Hello all.
I'm new, so be kind!
What does CQ forever mean. (JAD's?
Also, I loathe spiders, can't bear them and have to have them killed so they can't come back.

PMSLOL Wet Herring!! Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

I loathe and detest the horrid little eight legged ratbags. I have done since I was a baby, and one crawled up me while I was in me pram, and sat on my face.

I can JUST about catch them now with a glass and a piece of cardboard (there's one in every room in my house - the glass and the cardboard, not the spiders.) I'd never kill them though. My mate likes sucking them up her Dyson and watching them spin around. Sick woman, she is.
