Spiders

Let's just say I'm not a fan.


A few times I've come home and walked into a spiderweb right across the path to my front door. Now, a more paranoid person would think that they were trying to catch ME. But they'd never actually do that. Would they...?

It's a bit ambitious...

I don't run away screaming if there's a tiny arachnid at the other end of the room (unlike a certain bloke I know). No, I am a man. I can quite happily pick one up and stride across the room with it in my hand and throw it out of the window/door. I prefer not to squish them - too messy, especially against a wall.




Having said that... they still give me the creeps, the big ones. I think it's just the way they move. Too many legs. Scuttling. (shudder) Ugh.

And while I'm at it, cucumbers can fuck off too.
(For pretty much the same reasons)

My cats like to catch & eat the big scary ones (spiders, not cucumbers). You can hear them crunch...

A huge spider ran across the living room carpet while we were watching Spooks last night. It met with a messy end when it came face to face with a newspaper.

My father would have picked it up... damned biologists!

Cucumbers can fuck off too, for the same reasons.

I didn't know cucumbers had too many legs.

Is this the reason they won't let our hero loose on live patients yet?

I did say pretty much the same reasons... I won't go into the fine details - obviously it's beyond your understanding.

And as for the live patients thing... what exactly do you think Anaesthetists do?

Hmmph! I think a post about the joys of Anaesthesia will be called for soon.
(Unfortunately the Anaesthesia exams I'm revising for are not so joyous until they're over).

At work recently, a fucking enormous spider-beast ran across the floor, and I was so disgusted at it (the size, not the spider itself) that I just stood there staring at it in shock.

In the end, one of the tourists picked it up in her BARE HANDS and liberated it into the grounds outside.

She should have recieved some kind of award for bravery.

So what is it that anaesthetists do? Thats the one that cuts up dead people. Right?

As an ODA, I'm not sure what Anaesthetists do

(Good Luck with your exams)

Why is it the ODA has always gone for coffee/fag/sex/food* (*Delete where appropriate) when you need them the most?
