        You do realise that once you turn the vacuum cleaner off, the spider will rouse itself, shake off the dust, look for the dust-bag exit, and eventually emerge dazed and one leg short, through the hose of the appliance.

        It will be pretty well pissed off by then, and wanting to wreak revenge upon you, in its own small spidery way.

        Never piss off spiders.

        They are more determined and indestructible than you think.

        You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

            No. Spiders are our friends and should be encouraged.

            How would you like some giant pulling your legs off just because you were an annoying berk?

                And how many legs have you got now?

                    Reisling! ugh!

                    Have just spotted a ruddy great big spider myself - in the scullery. Common brown house spider, but a beauty!
