@Jeanine: if I wasn’t so phobic I’d think it was hilarious too!
Are you coming our way this year?

“starting to look like some kind of arachnid timeshare”

ROFL
Glad Dave has been evicted! I too am somewhat arachnophobic, though not too badly… which is good considering my profession! My friends all think it’s hilarious that I think spiders are creepy…

@Jansy: Nah… it wasn’t what you said. It was someone from down under….

I guess I should apologize, Andy (*grovel**grovel*). I really was NOT questioning your manhood…just getting over the mindset I’ve lived with all my life…certain divisions of duty, swooning feminity, specific tools for specific genders (i.e., spanners for the blokes, mixing spoons for the ladies)…can I help it if I was brought up Old School?

By the way, you would not have been able to find a WORSE arachnaphobe on the planet than me…about 20 years ago (I was a bloomin’ marshmallow). I had to go and dress COMPLETELY, if one of the little suckers showed up when I was in my nightgown. I had to spray them from across the room (standing on a chair), and use a SHOVEL to remove the corpse. (YES, I KILLED THEM. If the Good Lord had wanted spiders to live in houses he would have given them little tool belts and architectural plans so they could build their own!)

What cured me, you ask? Living alone for eleven years. There was NO ONE (male or female) to call for help. I had to deal with them by myself. So now – although I still have the screaming meemies aftewards – I can dispatch the leggy little beasties myself.

Sorry you though I was questioning your virility…t’was not intended as such.

@thud: Oh I am comfortable in mine also. Not allowed to kill them though…

@Silverback: What a horrible thought. Although seeing this flee down the Mersey Tunnel might be fun…
