Hi Guys

"Couldn't happen in the UK"

I have to report the removal of one undesirable today, from my study.

The interloper migrated into the house without  appropriate permission, and once spotted was quickly identified as an illegal and apprehended.

Having ascertained his skin colour and physical appearance, I was able to confirm via Wikipedia he was in fact a male tarantula. A thorough but careful search of the whole house (twice in fact) confirmed no females were present. (God knows we don't want them breeding amongst us.)

I don't mind them being in the country but I don't want to live next to them  and will not have them in the house! Not that I've got anything against toxic creepy crawly things you understand.

You will all be pleased to know that having donned thick leather gloves, I picked him up and deported him further down the finca unharmed.

Remember don't feed the trolls.

regards John
