Eeeeeeeek!

I wish I had a camera with me so that I could let you see the size of the spider that's in the tearoom sink here at work! It's bloody huge!

Our Saturday boy came and showed me a photo of it he'd taken on his cameraphone this morning, and I've just gone through to the tearoom for a glass, and it's still there!

It's too big to wash down the plughole, and if I kill it, there's probably about 3 months' worth of rain if superstition is to be believed...

I swear it flipped the bird at me when I went in there, so it's hard as nails!

I'm not touching it...

It gave you the Bird? Is it a Geordie? ;)

I hope you haven't been watching Eight Legged Freaks... :D

I don't mind spiders so much now, I think I got so used to seeing them in the warehouse. Although I wouldn't want to pick one up. I don't like killing them. In the old shop we had a 'pet' spider in the store that the staff fed maggots it was huge and had one of those cocoon type webs, I did use to steer clear of that.
