The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Dog goes missing in the village, runs off into the fields.

Someone phones me. My response was "Er, I'm an expert on missing person behaviour. Missing cockatoo behaviour is beyond my field of expertise."

Bird dog?

I would have thought by now a race of spiders would have evolved which understood moving in to human houses is not the best way to preserve one's contribution to the gene pool..........

.........if only by the natural selection I'm providing FOC!!

Try moving this one!

Have you seen this week's Dr Who??? I really do NOT like spiders!

 

[PaulSB]

Paul, I have no idea what you mean. Please translate.

I live rurally in a stone cottage which is 173 years old. Keeping insects etc. out is an impossible challenge. At this time of year spiders migrate in to the house for the winter. Monday is my cleaning day which involves vacuuming up a lot of spiders and webs!! I was thinking natural selection would mean the intelligent ones stayed outside. I'm busy wiping out the stupid ones which come in.

These are the ones which really give me the heebie jeebies

The clever ones come in out of the cold.

I've to be careful with the webs due to the penecillin in them.

My old cottage I could hear the mice running around in the loft.

 

[Slow But Determined]

Yes and me with no clothes on......

Before you put some clothes on do you the answer as to why my smiley faces don't show on my posts but do on all others?

I didn't know webs had this property till I googled it. It may be rude to ask but you must be incredibly sensitive to penicillin??

It may be better if we go back to spiders....

Used them for years on minor cuts on cattle, rather than get a vet out. The web itself helps with the clotting. What's in it, with the infection.

It's put me in the number one spot in the ward before today.

Just tapping on the smiley faces and they show as I am typing but when I hit the post reply button they disappear!! Test smiley face.
