    While at my mates house today we found this on the floor in the garage,
    went to pick it up and it nearly had me , a few phone calls later and
    a lady came to pick it up , quick check over and all is good .

    Pay attention Barney. I didn’t say country that would mean I was born and bred, I said cunt'ry meaning I moved to the country from the city and still act like a c**t in the country. Oh, and I wear gloves when I get the logs in for the fire because, you guessed it, I hate spiders.

    You need to find how the fecker got in there so it doesn't happen again!

    He might perch on the Blade next time and sink his tallons in to the paintwork! :eek:

    I've heard a blade is a bird magnet but not the wrong kind.Glad it was ok, lovely creatures who keep them pesky rats and mickeys in check.Spiders I deal with, a bit of card and a clear plastic cup.Some of em were bigger than the cup rim. Made me shiver feeling them move around on the card.

    Used to own a Tawny owl like that one. Didn't like being hungry (so it could fly to my hand). Went for the father in law once, they usually go for the eyes!!! Stopped flying him after that. He just sat all day on a pitch fork handle watching the world go by. Caused a few accidents though!:D
