I'm sorry Cowboy, I'm confused! Care to elaborate?
Do quantum mechanics fix old transits?

And let us not forget, voyeurism is an occupational hazard that we simply must endure.

A relative of the Black Widow - lives in England, been all over the media, bitten about 12 people in last year, a few nearly died - that sort of thing...

Thank you Mr E, but the truth is, I originally read this post as, False window spinner, and I was trying to make sense of the comments.  :)

Yes, me too - and I'm wearing mine !
False windows are dangerous too - you can go right through them.

We had one a few months back and I just called Pest Control to get rid of it.   But its very uncommon for them to come to Scotland and normally only found in South of England I was told.

I was thinking along the lines of charging customers for extra windows that you had cut out of sticky back plastic and surreptitiously stuck on to the side of there properties. That would be a pretty good false window spinner, n'est-ce pas?

Spiders in the UK have never bothered me until a conversation with a Forensic Toxicologist who happens to own a Tarantula - He said that he has no issue handling a Tarantula but wouldn't pick up a UK House Spider !

I see hundreds of them every week, they are all over the place down here. They are on just about every job that I do.

I have them in my loft at the moment. I need to get a 10mtr extension for the vac so I can vac out the whole loft. If they come back I will get them nuked.

This is just down the road from here http://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/topic/spiders/

if it is dirty it is fair game

I love the way the Daily Wail describes the spider as 'flesh eating' and 'evil'. Journalism at it's very best and what's more, this currently quite rare spider is 'plaguing Britain'.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

I suspect this is elevating above the craniums in many cases.  Please don't allow sloppy spelling to spoil your exquisite offerings

Sorry about that Ian, but a poor education dictates that my posts will be thick with such spelling mistakes and inadvertent malapropism.
