Ouch, I feel all shaken. I just had to forcibly evict un unwelcome tenant - well squatter technically. I might have considered letting it stay if I thought it'd cough up some rent. I mean, as a species I have nothing against them really - they keep the flies away, after all, but I simply can't be comfortable when there's a two inch wide (I kid you not) hairy as hell arachnid is glaring down at me while I'm trying to be all sensible and mature. I just get to thinking about where it goes at night and what it does when I'm sleeping and eurgh I can't bare it. So I have to try and get it - not kill it you understand (what the hell would I do it once it was dead - display it? I think not) but just somehow make it be elsewhere. I have no idea how something so big gets to be so fast, really I don't. I didn't knock it off the wall, really, the bastard jumped. It's wise to a gurning semi drunk twenty something - it's off and under the TV stand before I get to practice my velvet charm and entice it into the pint glass. Well, I got it in the end and it's now menacing small mammals in the garden, but it didn't come quietly. I swear I could feel the weight of this thing in the glass - it was all jumping up against the side all the way down the stairs. Eurgh. I'm all bugged out. I really didn't want to piss it off. I mean I don't want it to come back with all it's mates... Er...that's it really. Sorry. I'll try to be more useful later on. Always buy the Big Issue from a badged vendor, and eat your greens.
