Flat full of spiders

[gentlegreen]

I post on a camping forum where sewn-in groundsheets are demanded by some on the grounds of "keeping out creepy crawlies" .

 

[tendril]

Firstly any of you people who've opened this thread to post pictures of spiders don't. I mean it, I can't take it, its not funny

yes it is:

nO IT'S NOT. iMAGES REMOVED - cRISPY

 

[red rose]

No its not fucking funny, I just stopped shaking from opening the curtains earlier and seeing a massive spiky one on the other side of the window right in front of my face and now I'm shaking and teary again

Fuck you and fuck the people who say you can just get over it by picking one up or going into the garden, if you think that then you don't know the meaning of a phobia.

I obviously wont be posting on this thread again

Bloody hell, spiders eat mice and rats?

That big black one above is eating a duck

tendril - you really ought to use the spoiler code.

Didn't a study somewhere estimate that in our lifetimes we'll eat 8 spiders in our sleep?

oh shut the hell up

And I'm totally scared and revolted by slugs

Tell me about it, I get the bastards slithering up my bathroom wall.

Can't bring myself to kill them though, so out into the garden they go on a piece of cardboard or stout paper.

I agree, it's totally unnecessary. A link to each with some explanatory text saying what they were - one's a Peruvian chicken spider from the article, and I think the bottom one is a Goliath birdeater - would have sufficed. That way, you can see them if you want but no one who doesn't want to do so has to.

why don't you freeze 'em and when you get enough you can fry 'em up in some herbs and cream as a nice escargot dish

 

[Meltingpot]

Thanks for the tip, but that's one dish I can resist trying.

sorry, just in one of those moods I guess. Personally I hate 'em too, but not to the extent that I throw a hissy when I see a photo of one.

They are clean creatures that provide a very useful pesticidal duty in the ecosystem. Far better than fuckin mosquitos anyway.

They have the natural feeding habits of a torturer. imagine if they where giant? And a Giant Spider killed Tom Baker and made him morph into Peter Davidson, thus instigating the era of Turlough and Adric.

Heinous crimes

No,it killed Jon Pertwee who morphed into Tom Baker in the story "Planet of the Spiders".
Years later in "Logopolis" Tom Baker fell off a radiotelescope mast thingy when fighting the Master and morphed into Peter Davison .
Sorry for being a boring pedant
By the way I think spiders are cool.On the other hand Adric and Turlough were pond-life.
