Spiders

[Mike Lynkers]

Has anyone noticed spiders are getting bigger? I moved my tumble dryer earlier tonight and out charged the biggest meatiest beast I've ever seen, the thing had muscley legs and a body like a potato....ok, slight exaggeration on the body, but it were really big and I swear I thought I could make out fangs on it's big scary head.

Unluckily for Arnold Spidernegger, my dog also saw it bounding across the kitchen floor, ran over and ate it, but it's got me thinking......

If these things are marching up and down my house then its a good job my dog likes spiders cos I ain't lying when I say it were a good 3 inches long at least. and fat with it. I don't wanna go to sleep now cos of the thought of waking up with summat like THAT crawling on me face..

So, the reason I'm leavin a Q is in Body & Soul at midnight is, ain't it strange how a 28yr old bloke can suddenly develop a case of arachnophobia and insomnia?!?!? Anyone else had a similar experience? And do ya agree that spiders are gettin bigger?!?!

Well after reading this yesterday thankful that I hadn't seen a huge spider in months, I woke up this morning with the biggest eight legged freak staring at me from the bedroom wall, it had a machete and a sawn off shotgun ready to do battle with me!!

I leapt out of bed, grabbed the hoover whilst having a mini panic attack, son asked what was wrong, I told him, he looked and said 'ooooh that's a biggie, I bet it runs when you put the hoover near it'!

I put hoover on, shakily put the hose up near the ceiling where critter was sitting and then it did as son said, it ran, and when I say ran I mean it ran really, really fast!!

I cornered it, sucked it up and left hoover on for ages whilst pouring insect killer powder down the hose (sorry to the creature lovers)

My son has been gloating ever since with his little 'told you it'd run' comments!!

Hope I don't see any more big ones like that ever again, my nerves are shot!!!
