    I’m scared of heights but that’s not the problem I actually want to jump off but it’s not to commit suicide or anything like that, you just fancy jumping off.

    Tell you what, size of some of the spiders we've had at ours over the summer, I'm surprised I haven't heard them knock on to be in.

    Do marines ever jump from aircraft? The reason I ask is in Malta our barracks were near the Marine Commando barracks and they had a part of an aircraft fuselage which I assumed they used in training?

    Yeah I’d go spare. I’d have to leave. If I touch it I freeze!!! I understand it makes zero sense. I understand it’s soft and fluffy. But Christ my head does not help me!!!

    I’m a nurse so anything medical doesn’t scare me. When my kids were little it was always me not their dad (wimp, lol) who got called to remove spiders, bees wasps etc that got into their rooms. Heights, swing bridges, cliffs mountain overlooks all good, and as I live in North Carolina so snakes, poisonous spiders are dealt with fine, but I do suffer from lepidopterphobia and coulrophobia! (Moths/butterflies and clowns.)

    Cut round it, and stuck it on his bedroom window (we live in a bungalow).
    I waited till he went in the shower, then tapped on the window knowing she would open the blinds. I can still hear the scream now....

    I've already fessed up to fear of heights, but that isn't the fear that has had the biggest effect on my life.

    Needles, meaning syringe needles. As a result of having an abscessed tooth extracted under local anaesthesia when I was about 8.

    This was back when the dentist had reusable syringes, and this one seemed pretty blunt!

    I had injections either side of the inflamed gum, into the cheek and into the roof of my mouth (which felt like it was going to come out of the top of my head).

    I'm a bit like that with general anaesthetic.
    Hated the gas and mask as a kid at the dentists. And I smashed me jaw in twice, once in Devon on holiday and again a couple years later in Shields. :D
    Feel like shìt after it, sick as a dog.
    Arl inside your mouth and chin sewn up doesn't help either :D although a needle now which doesn't bother me much
    It's probably that old experience and a fear of not being in control/put to sleep.

    I turned down havin me tonsils out cos of it, which turns out I was misdiagnosed anyway and didn't need them out :D

    I remember my dentist saying to me when I was in my early twenties that of all his child patients I was the one top of the list he thought that would stop coming. He used to have to get another dentist to hold me down whilst avoiding fists and feet <laugh>

    But although uncomfortable especially at the front of your mouth I'll take a local needle anyday over general, especially gas lol.
