Please tell me you lived in the country. :eek:
Does your dog help with 'pest removal', or is he a big cute sook?

The nursery web spider is pretty cool too. Similar in looks to the wolf spider, but the female carries her eggs in her jaw while she spins a "tent" web as a "nursery" where she puts her eggs until they hatch.

Before mating, the male presents the female with a fly, or sometimes a fake fly, in the hope he won't be eaten afterwards.

And yep, they are found locally, but once again, don't be scared Karen, they're just doing their thing.

That is a pisser Rocker. Took the first 2 'experiments' to work out it wasn't real, just hilarious.

I work as a forest ranger if you didn't know, I'll show the other rangers during lunch. They'll freaken love it. :thumbsu:

Edit-now I'm suss on everything. Thought 'Mitch Clark nominates the cats' in another thread was a piss-take too.

That is a good description johncat. Especially liked the bit about the fake fly-you guys always trying to trick us lol!
How do you know this stuff anyway? Are you an animal lover like CG? (I'm trying to find her perfect match ;):D, jokes CG!)

Black Betty is the best cat name I've EVER heard. :thumbsu:
What happened to your guinea pig, or shouldn't I ask. :(

Oh, even I had a laugh at your drugged spider clip, very good.

I really get into nature docos, that's where I pick up random facts about animals. I am indeed a nature lover.

If you haven't seen the Planet Earth series, do yourself a favour, it's just wonderful.

Think I may have seen the first episode, it's about polar bears if I remember properley. With David Attenborough as the narrator-of course!
He must've been doing nature films for 50 years!

She's also in 2 chick flicks I've seen-She's Out of My League and Confessions of a Shopaholic.

If you watch Don't Trust the B, then you can NEVER pick on my choices of TV show EVER again!

I don't find 'Dont Trust The B' funny at all, but maybe you will. It probably is left of centre and that's why I don't get it.

I can't believe you've seen She's Out of My League!:eek: There's hope for you yet DF! :D

It's a rom-com, which I always class as chick-flicks.
It has that awful rating system in it too-where they rate other girls/guys out of 10. :mad::rolleyes:
it isnt a romcom....it is an awkward comedy like 40 year old virgin or something about cam'ron.

i cannot remember but do have it on my hard drive.

I have a feeling it was on free to air not that long ago.

One perhaps?
ch11 actually...i just couldnt bring myself to be a participant of ten's programming whims (ie play a few eps at one time then change them).

they did it with dexter and fresh meat.

I still think it's a rom-com. Watch it again and see. (still surprised you've seen it lol!)

How's this for some office gossip. We have a girl leaving work today, she's only been here for 3 months max, and we're going out for lunch at the fanciest restaurant in town, all paid for by the boss. This is very strange, usually leavers get biscuits and coffee in the tea room!
Turns out this girl has been having a fling with the boss since she arrived, and she's leaving because she's moving in with him, and doesn't have to work anymore (hes loaded).
He's 48, she's 23. :eek: Anyone see a bright future there?

Geez, seems a bit quick, but who knows Karen. Glad I've never worked in an office though, could see office gossipy stuff doing my head in pretty quickly.

Someone gave me the Planet Earth set for Christmas. Didn't get around to watching it for months, but it is excellent. :thumbsu:
