penguin Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 wow - hmm.... surely this isolated ecosystem would now be exposed to a diffrent set of variables, forcing the creatures to morph into fish, apes (which will go on to become human...) etc etc etc .... i say we fill the lot up with concreate and let it be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Is this more evidence for evolutionism againt creationism then (not wanting to start that debate again!!). not very convincing is it - 5 million years and the best that evolution can do is a blind scorpion and a dayglo prawn. Mind you, look at Birmingham . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid little barsteward. I hate those damn things! We've got porch bit at the back of our flat and i went in there the other night to put some rubbish out and two huuge mother chuffers had moved in, with suitcases and everything. Bathrooms are the worst though, they like the moisture don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I did wake up once with an itch on my arm, when i looked down there was a massive spider crawling up it sooooo scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Speaking of Hampshire spiders, I had a bloody huge one on my back the other night! I thought it was a bit of the duvet, but could feel it wandering across, so I brushed it off & then saw a black thing running across the sheet. I slapped it with my hand then turned the light on. It was massive! (& dead) Horrible little things. Wonder if those cave creatures have developed any nice diseases we can pick up? I say we take Penguins advice & concrete the lot up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bathrooms are the worst though, they like the moisture don't they? My conservatory (if you can call it that... really 1980's glass shack) must be the problem I think they get in there then just mooch through the house. August is the worst month IIRC. It was living behind the bath panel, suddenly jumped out at the door end, trapping me in there. Luckily there was a pair of shoes handy so I plucked up the courage to get near enough to splat it... hit it, apparently not hard enough and it started attacking the sodding SHOE!!!! So I got the other shoe and tried again... same thing, just went for the shoe. Apparently by now I was squeeking coz Jon appeared and got a bigger shoe and effectively kicked it in the head til it died. SICK little mo fo. HATE them. Trying to train the puppies to catch and eat them but they are not interested. Boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 It was living behind the bath panel, suddenly jumped out at the door end, trapping me in there. Love it! Trapping you in. Evil, pure evil. I normally get a massive book, the dictionary or similar and throw it on top, then another, then another. I wait for someone else to remove the book.

Elliot Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 ahhh this is what I mean!! Imagine how many wander across you in the night!! I read somewhere ages ago that on average you swallow 5 spiders a year or something in your sleep. Not sure if it's an old wives tale, but it's entirely believable to me, with the amount of spiders I find runnig around. I was working in Aylesbury a couple of years ago, and staying in a caravan on a farm. I kept finding these massive spiders (biggest I've seen in the UK) in there, probably about 2 a week. I was working nights & every now & then my girlfriend would come stay there. I finished early one night & tried sneaking in. I opened the door & peered round to the bedroom bit & could see here lying there.. Crawling up the side of the bed, was one of these massive spiders about 20cm from her face! Another 5-10 seconds & she would have had this bloody thing on her face! I shouted at her to get up quickly & we spent the next half hour trying to find it. I know it's not very manly, but I can't stand spiders & bugs. yuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
