Our daughter has to get live insects from the pet shop to feed her Pixie.

Geckos Cute, funny, cool, and also extremely useful as they catch and eat all unwanted insects that make it into the house during the day. I even give names to the ones who decide to temporary stay at my place

He’s at it again @MUFC

@Tommy @Devil wait til summer comes. Clearer skies and much more sight of stars and planets and constellations. You've probably heard of things like Ursa Minor/Ursa Major/Cassiopeia etc etc. Like you guys, my neighbours probably thought 'why's he taking pictures of the sky in pitch black with a shitty smartphone' . Little did they know what delights I was just observing! It's such a simple thing to do and enjoy with such little effort. The app is superb.

Ate something that didn’t agree with you?

I think I'd have heart failure if that was crawling anywhere near me. I hate any sort of bugs, I remember school allowed me to take the class stick insect home as a treat. It never returned to the school, my mum got it out of the sweets jar it was kept in and put it into my hand, I freaked out and flung it as far as I could throw it. Seen as we were in the back garden it was lost forever.

Waiting for @Bluewolf to stroll in and tell @Carnivore Chris to man the fuck up

I think we should leave it there with the Suárez' accusations or we'll have@Dr. Gonzo and @Rick appearing with t-shirts on to protest his innocence ...

This is getting like a 'Who did it?' mystery, better than Agatha Christie. Adder Length: 60-80cm Weight: 50-100g Cousins: @MUFC Likes: Ladies' feet Did you know? The adder is the UK's only venomous snake, but its poison is generally of little danger to humans: an adder bite can be painful and cause an inflammation.....

I reckon @MUFC can diagnose this.

Same I end up getting shivers for a good few moments afterwards even when the proverbial coast is clear.

My skin is too tough for mere spider fang to get through... I suppose looking at the bite it probably is a spider of some description but a bit unusual that it bit you.. they don't normally, I spend a lot of time in the garden and we have a lot of those false widow spiders knocking about and they seem to double every year.. we get two main types, the cool looking ones with the skull on their backs.. Or these horrible things with big dark maroon bodies.. When I was cleaning out the side this summer there were loads of them hiding behind the bricks and on the wall by the shed.. I routinely kill them as soon as I spot them.. better not to take any chances I say.. I appreciate the media can over dramatize them as being dangerous but I have had them crawling on me when I walk in my man cave outside as they are hanging right above me in the roof beams so I have to keep a beady eye open all the time but thankfully never been bitten so far.. Some of the bigger ones are a bit concerning.. What ever you do people never panic, you are 1000 times bigger than they are so stay cool at all times.. Me when I walk into my man cave and get a web on me... Honestly though, I can tolerate spiders I can see but accidently walking into a web across the path along the sheds and getting it in your face and not knowing where the spider is can be a traumatic few seconds...

Already did for last year. 24 years worth of tax returns released last year... https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/disclosures/2022/04/15/the-president-and-vice-president-release-their-2021-tax-returns/

The only sane post on this thread :

We had that after the freeze. In minuses for weeks, overnight it jumped to 15 degrees.

I think most Liverpool fans don’t like him anymore

@MUFC

Might be related to you?

The worst are flying cockroaches, the most deadly creature on the planet. They simply just need to fly or run and you die of pure fear .

Come on John, you'd know if it was an adder It's 100% a spider, which species it is is the question.

I'd also add that one to the "scratched" list too

And then disappeared into thin air... Could have just been a vampire, after all. Or a tiny Luis Suarez.

Could be an adder that sneaked in and nestled in your clothing and when you went to dress it took a quick bite.

I've been bitten by: Dog Monkey Parrot Female human Midgey Mosquito Horse fly Flea Now spider Stung by: Wasps Attacked by: Swans Geese Scratched by: Cat Scared the fuck out by: Fox(running out in front of me while while cycling) Deer(ran out of the bushes and nearly took me out at 5 in rhe morning while fishing. Mouse: randomly running around my tent once.

Or Luis Suárez might have crept in at night..

Or a vampire...

Just been to the shops and used the Stellarium App on the way. I fucking saw Jupiter and Mars. This has literally been eye opening.

Whoa, got the Stellarium app. When I opened it, I was sitting in my chair like:

This is so eerie, in Lake Erie. And I'm sure other places around north America/Canada from a few days ago...

I don't need to imagine, I've seen it

I like scorpions though, they are cool. Anything better than those fuckers:
