chrisp65 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 That blister could only possibly have been on a woman. What self respecting manbloke could leave it unprodded. No way could you not just poke it and poke it all day with a finger finely coated in spaghetti hoops sauce, WD40 and general sweaty usage. Poke it until it pops, gets infected with the mix of daily dirt and turns into something you can properly boast about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Do not fear. Clive is alive. Or at least he was when I released him 100 yards down the street. He did seem to briefly charge at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 That spiderweb between the grass and the clothes line has been re-built! The spider's body is a couple of centimetres long. I might take a photo tomorrow and post it on here, if I can figure that out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 A mate of mine from work reckons he sees False Widows all the time in his house. I don't normally kill any living creature, but I'd make an exception for those bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ads Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just had to extract an absolute monster from the premises. The missus went ballistic. Had to use a dessert glass to cover the leg span. Once covered he reared up and bared his fangs against the glass. Haven't seen that kind of aggressive behaviour from spiders in this country before. I named him Clive. For no real reason, I have imagined that Clive was wearing a small spider poncho during this tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B6 to E6 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 It looks as though the invasion of the big spiders is over, but they have been replaced with Daddy Longlegs. Every time I open a window, I get one of the big, lanky bastards bumbling their way in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrinityRoadSteps Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I just, accidentally, flushed a spider down the bath plughole. I didn't know he was there and I turned on the shower. Now. Is flushing a spider down the plughole an automatic death sentence for the spider. Or is it like a spider version of a massive water slide and when he gets to the bottom will just fly out going whooooooo hoooooooo and race back up to the bath to have another go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I suppose the question here is, is there any air for it to breath whilst going through your system? If not, then you've murdered a perfectly innocent pest controller. YOU MURDERER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could possibly be air pockets that the spider could float on, but I would imagine it would be a fairly solid bit of water until it starts flowing quickly. If the spider makes it past that then it joins the main soil pipe where the toilet connects to, or direct into the main drains, again where all of the used tampons, sanitory towels, condoms, baby wipes etc. hang around waiting to block everything up. I think after it gets into the main communal drains it's got a chance of finding somewhere for a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
