The Spider

[The Real Laoislad]

Had to pull a cable through this attic a few years ago,I lifted myself up into the attic and started to crawl down to the far end.
I turn on the head light and all I could see was cobwebs,I mean the whole attic was one big cobweb and there must have been a thousand or more spiders of all sizes everywhere.

All I could do was close my mouth and plough on through,when I got down out of the attic I was just covered in cobwebs and spiders from head to toe they were in my ears,nose,hair(it was a few years ago hence the hair).
Wasn't very pleasant.

As much as I don't mind spiders LL I wouldn't be doing that.

I watched a spider climb up my waterspout and ate all the curds and whey I was making.

You're never done with the curds and whey.

Spiders keep eating them on me

there was a spider that lived on the gate in to my back yard for a good while.  Every evening I'd come home and he'd have a big web made across the gate and I'd have to break it to get the bike in. Every morning when I went out the web would be rebuilt and I'd have to break it. In the evening it would be there again. This went on for ages but it must have dawned on him it might be better building the web somewhere else.

Stubborn, like a spider.

It doesn't have greatest ring to it...

Despise spiders. Not scared but just don't like the thought of them crawling over me while I sleep.

My bedroom is the attic room too so I get a lot through the skylight, who then get squashed and chucked back out the skylight as a warning to their mates.

Zig and all, is it true that you eat the odd spider at night while asleep

Does anyone ever wonder how spiders stretch their web across a big gap like pog's gate? I.e. how do they get the first strand across? I always did until I found out.

I think the last few posters have missed the point of the original story.

On the subject of spiders, I haven't seen one in nearly a year. Are the dying out? What's going on?
