ROFL...

sorry... that backlog just moved so quickly!


*giggles into her *

I am now, just turn left at the spider.

If he's ignoring the spiders he can't turn left at it as he'd have to find it first...thus defeating the point of ignoring it
*looks apologetically at Ian for turning the conversation back to spiders*
Sorry Ian, I'll be quiet now
*sits quietly, humming to herself*

*Hums quietly too*

*doesn't stop humming but wonders if she's humming the same song as Menza*

*probably not*

*Guess it's unlikely*

I'm humming a Beatles song.

I didn't know you were humming...if there's three of us all humming different songs maybe we should stop and all hum the same one, that way when Ian returns we'll be at least vaguely tuneful and he might not mind the conversation returning to spiders

You are suprising BB.

But we hadn't talked about spiders for ages.

I know and they're a very valid conversation topic but I think Ian was trying to ask you a sensible question hence him ignoring the spiders and I reverted the discussion before you answered so I reckon he'll be quite cross if I carry on talking about them...which is why I'm sat humming instead as I remember what it was like when we got in a fight over the chocolate

*reads up lots of posts*

Yes Ian, I live neer Cambridge.

Cool thanks Menza, now we can all stop humming and revert to talking about the highly important subject of spiders and whether or not they do actually have parachutes so that when you throw them out of windows they don't die...I have been using this excuse for many years but my mate has just suggested that this may not be entirely true...

I did throw one out the window about 3 weeks ago, it made quite a thump when it hit the ground.

3 weeks ago? Wow, I chuck them out everyday...
*suddenly realises she also caught one under a glass this morning and forgot about it*
Ummm...do they have breathing apparatus too?

Not usually, that may be a problem.

*returns from checking under the glass*
Hmmm...either the spider was so HUGE and strong that it lifted the glass up and set itself off into freedom...or someone found it had died and threw it out the window, one explanation may be nearer to the truth than the other

id just like to interrupt to add an exciting twist in the story where one of the people in this conversation sustains heavy bruising to their upper arm, for having to make this firkin firkin thang up

?
That doesn't seem very kind...

Not at all.
