Funny how we've all got a spider urban myth up our sleeves (checks up his sleeve for spiders). :D

Spider discussions always end up like the Monty Python "I grew up in a cardboard on a motorway" type of thing. It always ends up with a 2 foot bastard of a spider wearing tackety boots and a bunnet.

The other topic that always goes the same way is snow talk at work. Ooooh it's 6 inches out our way.....ooooh we've got 8 inches....oooh we couldn't get the car out. These conversations are always won by someone from East Kilbride where invariably the snow is at the upstairs window ledges.

East Kilbride! They don't know their living! Try Eaglesham when the snow is around, they sent Scott and his team here for training before they went to South Pole.

Well, funny you should say that! I was going to say in my original post that having been brought up in Neilston, I have always known how misguided those East Kilbride fools are. I can't tell them that because they'll listen to no-one when talking snow.

But you are right - in a good winter Neilston could host the winter olympics. Except the competitors' cars would be broken into.

Lots of Nulson folk on here.
I grew up there amongst the 15 foot snow drifts and giant dug eating spiders. Was thinking about starting a thread about all the (quickly vanishing) industrial archeology up there?

well i live in queens park and never get any snow so there!

i dont have a fear of large spiders, its the teeny tiny ones that can crawl into your orifices and lay their eggs there that freak me out.

Do you think spiders enjoy winter snow sports?

Do they have discussions about whose web is most laden with snow?
