In a thingy, you know, a tank, or whatever you call it. What a cunt, eh?

I think I might have given him cautious applause if it had been on a lead, but yeah - in a tank is just show-boating.

A friend of mine has a tarantula called Fluffy (another one has a pig called Lulu, when your kids go off to college you inherit their pets, like it or not.) Fluffy's low-maintenance — a few crickets now and then keep him happy. He makes an interesting conversation piece, living, as he does on the coffee table. And scares the shit out of kids on Halloween. There's really no downside.

I just came back on this thread to see how it was progressing, only to find you're talking about spiders!
8-(
You can't imagine how carefully I scrolled up.
If someone with a fucking tarantula got on a bus I was on, I would run down the aisle and throw myself through the furthest (still-closed) window. (Assuming there was on second exit on the bus, of course!)

I knew some folk who also had one. They went on holiday for a few days, so they bunged a few locusts to keep it fed. They got back to find that the locusts had ganged together and eaten the spider...

8-( is a good emoticon, but I think when it comes to spiders and snakes, I'd be a flat-out 8O

At the cottage last weekend, I was helping my father-in-law straighten and level the dock (the ice mucked it up this spring). It was rife with dock spiders the size of a child's hand. I thought about taking a few pictures and posting them up, they were that impressive. But that was the old, insensitive WOM. Now I'll just describe them in lurid terms, to those interested in such a thing, via PM.

I sometimes chat to my spirit level, on the odd occasion I do DIY. It definitely helps to get as many opinions as possible before rushing into anything. I've named him Les in honour of this guy.

Cool! Never heard of that before, but our neighbours had a couple of cats that ate a chihuaha they were looking after.

thats what they get for leaving cats to look after chihuahuas. Has she never seen 'Lady and the Tramp'? Those Siamese were EVIL.

Some old geezer who ran an antique shop in Toronto died a few years back after closing down for the night. He had a number of cats. I'll just leave it at that.

clive - to get to the door would have meant moving closer to the fucking thing, so I just sat and shook until he got off a few stops later.
