My friend Mike got stung by one of those fuckers when I was in Australia. You could see the red marks round his arm where it had got hold of him

The f**ker that got me left a part of it's being in my leg which became a *natural* tatoo and that shock effect was felt by me and my little one who screamed on the top of her lungs for a hour and half!!!

I remember once picking up my old recorder that had been lying around the house and starting to play it - until the spider that had been hiding inside it stepped into my mouth! I literally felt each leg step onto my tongue!!! I spat it so far, it hit the kitchen wall - and it was a large kitchen. Funnily enough, I never did play that recorder again.

My sister has swallowed 2 jenny-long-legs (aka daddy-long-legs) in alarmingly quick succession. One landed in her dinner and she didn't quite make the connection till she'd eaten it, and the other landed in her orange juice and slid down her throat before she could stop it.

Then there was the spider that crawled up my sleeve and seemed to disappear forever...

Err, sorry for my curiosity, but what is the link between your tongue and the recorder... You didn't actually lick it, did you

If a spider would do that to me, actually, I think I'd just bite, it would be al over then, wouldn't it

What, OM? Don't you lick your recorder when it plays the sissies?

Posted: **22 Sep 2005, 10:07**

I only play them on my pc, a cd player and an iPod, not familiar with playing them on a recorder, sorry

A recorder, just to be on the safe side.

Whoops, I thought it was like a casette recorder-thingy

Why don't you just call that a flute

Posted: **22 Sep 2005, 10:18**

That's a flute

In Dutch, what you seem to call a recorder is called a blokfluit, so I suggest from now on you just start calling a recorder a blockflute or something alike

If it is a long legged, long thin bodied flying insect it's a Cranefly, Daddy long-legs are those round bodied, very long legged spider type things that apparently have strong enough venom to kill a human with one bite.

If their fangs could actually pierce your skin.

I'm full of useless information.

Thank you ruffers.

Incidentally, if I remember correctly, Eldritch was branded "musically inept" at school because he couldn't play one.

We always called Crane flies "Daddy-long-legs" too.

What a coincidence. I had a visit from a Daddy Long Legs / Crane Fly last night. Those things give me the creeps. Somehow I managed to trap it in a pot and send it out the window. First one I've seen in ages then I find this thread. Spooky.

markfiend's clicky confirms my "Bluebottle" experience...which thread?
And one thing I have *heard* about seeing spiders, having them in your house or crawling near you.....it is supposed to mean *change*.
I keep the spiders near my house and hanging at the windows because it keeps things like mosquitoes and flying insects out the house while the windows are open.

Another thing that surprises me is the fact that so many of the *men* seem to gets the creeps from spiders?
I can understand the fear of a *black widow* or *tarantula* but then again maybe it is just me.

I have a real "aversion" to spiders (read that as sheer fear) and it doesn't matter what size

I also have a particular voice when I see a spider - obviously, I'm shouting for Paul at the time

- he always knows that I'm "calling" him (ie screaming) so that he can dispose of it

I'm not sure that he was very keen on spiders, but since living with me he has grown very accustomed to get very close to them so that they can be disposed of

I stand corrected Markfiend, thanks to your 'clicky' information.

There is a small spider which has taken residence on the walls surrounding my computer. So long as he stays on the upper parts of the walls, where I can see him, and away from my legs, I don't mind.

Yep - we had one in the bathroom. He was behind the skirting board and all you could see was the ends of a couple of legs. Even I managed to live with that.........until, one day he ventured too far into the bathroom and therefore closer to me ............end of his story - a girlie shriek from me and Paul sorted it

Speak of the devil, he appeared on my desk, and has promptly disappeared. I'm scared.

OM, NOT a good thing to say because I'm having to sleep in this room tonight...

I don't care if it's only 1cm long, it's still a spider.

Sorry, wasn't aware spiders back there are so fond of human flesh
