Forget Rivets - Spiders, they are the future, I've seen them

I've found the new Mecca my friends, Land Rover Spiders. Indeed it's is only
proper we conduct a Census of our existing Land Rover spiders (LRS) and
document there whereabouts, habits and monitor fault codes, preferred
lubricants and general upkeep issues.

Please forward any such documentation you may have before this true area of
our heritage is lost for ever, we need to act now!

One has moved into the new roof in the 101 cab. He goes in an out
through a tiny gap at the endge which he runs back into as soon as i
look too hard at him.
He's not building any cobwebs though so im happy with him - though the
day he comes out and dangles on a web infront of my face he's going!

They seem to be migratory and have decamped into the garage RRC's usually
seem to have a resident in the OS mirror ours used to catch passing scally
cyclists but he was a seriously biggun.

network cable?

My browsing had a judder around midnight... might be zen's putters using all
there power to nudge 23:59 over to all those zeros...

Working ok here now but I had a blip on mud-club at midnight too.

Yep, working OK now. Must try to get some shots of mine next time I find a nest
of red-backs in the cab. Guaranteed to get you to jump out of the driver's side
seat at any speed ...

The big Huntsman spiders aren't so bad, they are so big you can't miss them.
Though I did once nearly crash a car due to one, he was nesting on the sun visor
- when I pulled it down to shade my eyes, he popped down off the visor & onto my
lap. I aged 10 years that day ... they are not lethal, but they still hurt.

Snakes I can handle. Rat shot in the .22 deals with them without damaging the
panel work.

Why does Australia seem to have cornered the market in deadly creatures?

Personally I can't abide those things with 8 legs, I think it must be
the way they move because other creepy crawlies aren't a problem.
Luckily most of our web spinning LR inhabitants are small-ish and in a
101 they don't seem to come out when we are driving - I think they are
holding on for dear life too.

My dad used to spin a great yarn about being pulled off his tractor once by a
bird-eating spider web - they are strong, but not quite that strong .. but it's
the slithery things I can't stand. Hissing Sid is not my friend, don't care what
variety of snake he is. A good shottie is the way to go with them, I found the
shovel approach required getting too close to them for my liking.

Other than that (and the whinging Poms) Australia's the best place to be
