pob 329 Posted March 16 Whilst Henry the hoover was out and about today I saw a big black spider in the corner of the room hidden behind a blind, it's body about as big as a finger nail, so I hoovered him up sharpish. Have I killed the spider or just made him really angry? I have hoovered up his web/home, imprisoned him in a really dark, dusty, windy place. Then he is held in this quiet dusty place, is he dead or is he alive? Will he climb through Henry's coiled up trunk and escape into the house? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calNgary 9,176 Posted March 16 Id guess with a Henry, ' Incy' may well still be alive. I would be emptying Henry outside asap, just incase ' Incy ' is female and thinks that dark quiet spot is perfect for releasing a ton of little 'Incy's. lol Cal x 1 If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place... If you get a chance,take it, If it changes your life,let it.

I'd be incinerating Henry (maybe the house too) and buying a new one! Edited March 20 by unzippy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parley 7,392 Posted March 20 Driving home from work the other night, i picked up a hitchiker. A big huntsman spider on the bonnet and scurrying around up the windscreen while i'm driving. It was gone next morning so probably lurking in my garage somewhere. Buy a man eat fish. The Day, Teach Man, to lifetime. - Joe Biden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might have to get the car crushed into a tiny cube if so. Not sure whether a spider would jump down off a car though either. I was parked backed up nudging a bush which is where he must have come from. 1 Buy a man eat fish. The Day, Teach Man, to lifetime. - Joe Biden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of gaps big enough for a spider to get through. When I was working in country Victoria, one of my colleagues had a snake climb into his car while it was parked at work.
