I think your spider has just turned up at my place!

Recognise this? Seven legs, flat head, yellow and black furry body and a mouth like a sewer. If I told you what he said about you and your missus, Danny would shut this thread down immediately.

What he hasn't figured out is that it isn't going to be any more comfortable here!

Kill Query?

Fobotsco,

It has been drawn to my attention tonight, by the Future Mrs. Solotk in frankly, hysterical fashion, that your claim of 25th of June against one low level-intruding spider, may be disallowed pending review of the Gun camera film.

It would appear, that either your intended victim, or his Wingman, who must have been following with good trail and separation, has appeared in my residence.

Now, contrary to my im-Aggge, I do care about spiders, and was seeking to lift it gently on to a newspaper, and deposit it out the window, no harm done to my karma etc. However, TFM Solotk invited me, in a slightly banshee wail, which I'm sure is familiar to a lot of you ,(The wail, not my missus, but she did date a Tornado Jock, but I have forgiven her) to engage said spider with maximum fangs-out prejudice......to wit......"Stop f*****g poncing about, and stamp on the bast*rd"

I said what with? Being in my stockinged feet at that point., she said , "Put your f******g Army boots on"

I now gather, she has an irrational hatred and fear of Spiders, much in common with the rest of her species.

So, I claim the kill.

Claim : 08/07/02 19.38 Hrs - 1x Spider destroyed. N.B TFM Solotk performed a victory roll, or at least I think that's what she was doing.......

Tony

If anyone doubts my claim, it had more than 4 legs, and according to TFM Solotk , was a "Big hairy fast-moving bast*rd" , and there can't be two of those..........

Funny you should say that Murph, obviously too much reliance by the crab element on stand-off BVR munitions, leading to wishful thinking kill estimates.

If you want the job doing right, you have to be in close and personal. I would have taken me bayonet to the little bleeder, but I don't think it's made for stabbing things with.

However, I did notice how quickly TFM Solotk's tree-hugging , art and cultured girlie guff got sacked when said Spider had her trapped in a corner.......

I don't think it was spiders legs he was thinking of pulling off at the time.

Advice given to the British Olympic team before they went to Korea in 1988 - "if you see an eight legged striped rat in the bath, dont worry, its only a spider" Bring on a whole regiment of Army boots for that one!

(PS you don't want to look up at passing aircraft, that how the chemtrails get you)
