Spiders are not good when they're big hairy bastards that run across my carpet when I'm watching "Mock the week"!!!Originally posted by DS23 View Postspiders are good. they catch flies and flies are bad.
The first I became aware of said "Big Hairy Bastard" was when it opened my fridge, shouted over "Hey big yin, ye wanna beer?" and pinched one of my TWIX!
It then ran across the carpet only to be stopped by a size 14 Birkenstock!
I've just had a look for the body, it's gone! So, I've either re-enacted "Good Friday" in which case the f**ker will be back in 3 days and I'm in serious sh1t or it's been carried off to the spider grave-yard by its mates and I'll be on the look out for other big hairy bastards!
Btw, I was exagerating the part about the TWIX, it was a "topic"!Comment

Oh dear.
What a horrible sound a cat makes when hit by a lorry. The poor thing screamed for about three seconds, then suddenly stopped.
At least it didn't suffer for long.
