[Race]

[Man of Harveys]

Don't mean to brownnose but can I just say that, with such very funny yarns from the home front, Race is fast becoming my favourite NSCer?

My eight year old daughter was terrified of spiders in the house and it got a bit tedious having to continually trap them and chuck them out until a few weeks back when she fearfully pointed one out on the ceiling and I said "Oh don't worry that's only Shirley"
She was literally cured overnight and now she always asks their names and a bit about their history etc. You can even get away with it with the bigger ones with lines like: "Oh that's only Shirley's old grandad" etc. and she's not bothered by them at all.

The reason why I'm so scared of them is because 'Fred' who lived in the cupboard under the stairs terrorised me for years as a kid, and thanks to my horrid little brother who used to try and lock me in there made me shit scared of them ever since! Fred however ended up being squashed! He turned up on the shoulder of my school coat while I was wearing it..........my mum tried to hit it away with her purse but without much luck so and ended up having to beat me up in the process!! (god i sound like an abused child )

I am meant to be visiting our backwards buddies down under later this year but I am shit-scared of all the hideous spiders out there you have to deal with.

I appreciate that they aren't literally everywhere but the very thought of just seeing a Funnelweb for real makes me think I would probably just collapse of shock.

I feel like such a f***ing GIRL but I have had this irrational fear of spiders since I was a kid.

Oz has such a great climate and sounds like an incredible place to visit, there is so much I want to do there. But I'll be buggered if I want to check my sheets every night to make sure I don't die horribly, or check under the toilet seat every time I take a dump in case some heinous spider bastard wants to eat my arse.

Just the very thought of it makes my hair stand on end.

What the f*** do I do?

Yer! You are. For me it's the snakes!

 

[Yorkie]

It's strange. I could deal with the spiders without a qualm and could even have one of TLB's terantulas on my hand without a single squirm.

My problem would be getting on the plane to go anywhere. I have to have tranquilizers from the doc to be able to fly and then I sit there feeling sick and close to tears throughout the flight.

I am getting better though as during my flight last week I managed to look out of the window in mid flight. A major step forward for me.

I would recommend the gradual trying to conquer your fear approach as that is how I manage to get on a plane now.

 

[parks]

You are fine as long as they don't bite your dick... the massive pussy that is!!!

 

[Bluejuice]

Just had a Messenger conversation with an Australian girl about their spiders and how to deal with them. Didn't do much for my fears so I came to the conclusion that New Zealand was the place to be instead.
So she tried to convince me that Kiwi birds were venomous.

We'd better win those ashes...

I've been to Aussie loads of times and have only encountered red backs once (in a backpackers in Airlie Beach?), I was more concertned about the scorpion that joined me in the shower at a camp ground outside Ayers Rock and the 3m Hammerhead that cruised past me off Coogee Beach (and was caught in the nets and shown on telly the next day).

Nothing dangerous in NZ apart from the poisonous lager and suspect cheesy wotsit pretend crisps.

No snakes and the only dodgy spiders are the ones bought over from Aussie. You do get Weta's which are big f***-off bugs that look extremely scary and all of them seem to live under the palm tree pots on my deck.

[The Laughing Bluebird]

A plumber mate of mine worked on a contract out in Australia for a few months a couple of years ago. He's never been keen on spiders, or bugs of any kind in fact.

He told me he'd only been on the job for a couple of hours when a large, venomous-looking creature lurched up from behind the radiator he was working on.

He jumped out of the way and said to his Aussie co-worker: 'Christ mate, you've got some bloody big spiders over here!'

The guy took a quick glance at the beast concerned, chuckled, and replied: 'That's an ant, you dull Welsh bastard....'

Be afraid, Bluejuice, be very afraid......
