The great raft spider or fen raft spider (Dolomedes plantarius) is a species of spider in the Pisauridae family.
Like other Dolomedes spiders, it is semi-aquatic, hunting its prey on the surface of water. It occurs mainly in neutral to alkaline, unpolluted water. In Britain it occurs in fens and grazing marsh.
The great raft spider is found in Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Georgia (country), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden and United Kingdom.

what a cheek the client has - just asked if I'd go on a support rota for the weekend.

Yes, for £100 per call.

oh dear. just a top up of medical expertise?

I suspect it's complications with some new meds she's been out on.

He's 67 years old, smoked since he was 9, has lost his voice and 2 stone in weight - which he can't afford to lose!

Until he sees the Doctor we won't know.

All the TPD best to him

i'm not a rap fan at all though i like eminem's output (thank to dr dre i suppose) and run dmc did produce some excellent stuff. the thing is that these are rock based - i like them because they are familiar (less challenging, more comforting....) i should probably step out a bit and try some more. wonder if there is any decent rapjazz? (i bet there is..)

I like it for the exact same reason!
