I know  :roll: I remember talking to some customers whilst painting the outside wall and as I turned back with my roller this huge spider had sneaked up and was sat right in front of me....screaming I jumped backwards nearly knocking over their drinks........now that was embarrassing  :-[

One of our cats, Blackie, as he often does, just came through the cat door with a live mouse in his mouth, which he promptly dropped in the conservatory, (he brings them in for the girl cat of the family, the one eyed Poppy).  As this is a fairly regular occurrence we have a cardboard tube in which we can normally get them to run into, then release them outside.  Only difference this time is the mouse ran up the inside of my right trouser leg, climbing up to my waistband.  So out I went into the garden where I removed my trousers, the mouse running off, just hope the neighbours did not see my standing there in my underpants.  Local wildlife indeed! :o

Sounds like someone building up the defence case for an impending flashing prosecution. $lol$

Had a similar experience when I saved a mouse from one of our cats only to be bitten by the little b****r and ending up in casualty for a tetanus jab.

Hope the mouse didn't make a meal out of it!     L0L

I can find no reference to a Shamrock Spider anywhere on the net.

I wanted to know if it is poisonous, so I can quickly get my house up for sale!

Not poisonous then?  But still scary.

I shall always keep a rolled up newspaper with me whenever I leave the house.

Very good ME.  Martin your explanation for taking your trousers off in public is dubious to say the least my man  :o

Yesterday was not a good day for encounters with "local wildlife", late last night we discovered another mouse, this time in our lounge, at the time of writing it is still at large :o

Martin, I have to agree with TheMedz and Pendragon - I hope your neighbours are not too easily shocked!  :o

Fester, don't forget where Paddy originally found his spider - in his kitchen.  Perhaps you'd better keep your rolled up newspaper with you at all times, you never know what may be lurking!  WWW
