We had a French teacher at Acland Buggery School called Cobby. The only
time he spun was to turn round suddenly and throw his blackboard rubber
at people. Deadly!

There. Another post - dust in time.

Well get them down right now, the spiders are bigger and deadlier this year
due to the good long summer.

What about those poisonous Europen caterpillars?

Down by Lake Ontario today there were lots of Monarch butterfles, preparing
to start their journey to Mexico. Their numbers have been way down in
recent years due to storms and frosts, but they seem to be rebounding.

Well hell, if that don't beat all. ;-)

I heard tell of a plague of False Widow spiders that have been causing
havoc amongst the general population.

One chap swore he'd been bitten by a spider in his sleep and had to have
a finger amputated, and a woman had a huge lump the size of an orange as
a result of a spider bite.

Neither of these folks had a dead spider to show the experts, and one
such expert said that he'd never seen these symptoms caused by a False
Widow. Try this if you're real skeered ;-)

404 but never mind if they bite or not. They could walk in singing and
dancing waving Pom Poms they will still go up the Hoover.

I can't say that spiders scare me. I'd be no good as a window cleaner if
they did. Far too many of them right now, particularly, for me to avoid.
But they do give me the creeps. No idea why. Let's face it, I'm a lot
bigger than any of them and can render one completely dead with little
more than a tap.

Incidentally, did you know that soapy water kills them. Whether it's any
soap, or just the detergent that I use in me window cleaning water (Fairy
Liquid, if you must know), I don't know, but they certainly don't like it
up 'em. Looks a most unpleasant way of dying too. I tend to put them out
of their misery.

Anyway, yes, what is there to be afraid of? ;-)

Iyyy thought that jingle had more to do with the Law of the Land
actually. A bare-chested judge called Justice Trousers told me that.

"Now hands that judicious can feel soft as your face - with mild green
fairy liquid."

It's not mild at all really - that's why it does a good job - but gloves
should always be worn BTW.

Yup. I'm still alive - at 67! - and still complaining! ;o)

Excellent photograph. And Natural History Museum eh? I'd forgotten all
about them. I stopped going there when they started charging. A dinosaur
going at full gallop was a devil of a job to get out of the way of!!

We had a French and English teacher at Acland Buggery School called
Cobby. Swine ee was! There's an idea! A new www for violent sadistic
teachers. Could be called the Cobbywebb!
