    If money unexpectedly comes your way, you should always set some aside as silly money. So wine and women would be permitted.

    As George Best famously said: "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."

    How big was the spider ? I love spiders they don't bother me one bit....
    However the wife is a different story, I have had to come home at lunchtime before now to remove a spider so she can can go back in the room.

    When my 14-yo neice told me saxaphone practice was "boring", I sent her Born to Run and told her to listen to Jungleland. She got it immediately and claims it's one of the main reasons why she's now a damned good saxophonist.

    Yeah, I'm ok with spiders upto a point where I say, Blimey..! After that they're getting a bit on the large size, so it means I can't pick them up. A pint glass and coaster then come into play. Or a boot. :)

    Yeah, I used a hoover once on an absolute monster. He clung to the wall until the suction overcame him and then down the hose he went. He was that big I felt him knock the sides. I like to think that he made the dust bag his home or crawled out eventually.

    Yes, well we are now at that time of year when I might get home from a night out to discover that Mrs Fodder has gone to bed and that there is a phone directory on the carpet in the living room. I know what I will find underneath. Fodder Junior gets quite annoyed as he prefers not to kill the wee critters.
    Personally, my attitude is that anything with more than 2 legs is chancing it's arm(s) in crossing the threshold.

    I got back from work at about 9 this evening and then was called by my ex-housemate to go to her new house and rescue her from a large spider. I felt pretty heroic.

    Indeed. I do reserve the right to bump off anything with more than two legs that gets inside the house. Usually it's a glass, coaster and a fling into the garden. But they're running the risk. Inside is my environment - outside is theirs. As long as they stay outside they have nothing to worry about. :)
