WTF WAS THAT THING? With Bess Tiger

[bessarabiantiger]

Would someone on the original thread please do linkys?

I'm sitting in a gym changing room in my pants whilst pecking this out on my phone...

I've just googled blue tongued lizard,what an amazing reptile. Very cool.

We have a few greener and smaller tree frogs but mostly just the brown or darker green ones. We had one that nearly completely white, he was in the bathroom and I think he never saw sunlight. The cat ate him sadly. Luckily we don't have any of the poisonous amazonian varities of tree frog that you see on postcards and things. I would love to go up to the Amazon one day though, never been as we are about 2000 miles away in the Southeast. But the beasts they have up there frighten me, not sure I could brave it.

Fatty, you have a problem on your hands. I love this Kissed it?!?! Wtf was she thinking?? It could have pincered onto her lips! shock no Thumbs.....they live in safe places, remember?

and why do insects pee on you?....they fecking pee on you! As if it's not bad enough that they land on you unexpectantly, when you try to remove them they pee on you!!! One landed in DH's hair the other night, it was all hard and had lots of legs (might have been a cicada) because when he tried to untangle it (yes brushing it off was not an option), it pee'd on him and really stank!

Glad tomato dog is back
Now whats all this about bugs pissing on you?! Does that mean if you have bed bugs they piss the bed?

If it really stank, Tomato, it might have been a variety of shield bug, aka stink bug.

Fatty - I truly cannot answer that, but I can tell you that a cockroach has peed/vomited over my bare foot before now. That was revolting.

Apparently cockroaches find us even more disgusting than we find them, so it would make sense that one vommed on you. Even so....bleurgh

Did someone ask one? If they find us that disgusting then they should bloody well stay out of our houses then, shouldn't they?!

I don't know I just remember reading somewhere that they find us gross. Why they come in the house I don't know. Maybe it's to keep warm? Or maybe there's a men in black thing going on?

Did someone ask one? , they should have done that on that creature comforts series, would have been a great interview with a cockroach. "Those horrible large smooth things, they have only two legs eewww, those two legs just freak me out. They move so slowly as well, just slowly across the floor to get you. Did you know they can't survive radiation? That's just not normal, disgusting creatures".

Yay, so happy tomatodog has returned!

But hang on, insects that pee and vomit on you?

What the fucking actual fuck?

*if I am wrong about the UK not harbouring theses sorts of creatures, don't tell me, please; I don't want to know.

I don't know, but DS got shat on by a fucking bird today, just as he was going into school. His teacher said oh, that's lucky that. When I picked him up the filthy twats hadnt even taken him to the loos to clean it off.

ewww fatty, that's rank. Especially with little kids. I'd be concerned about him or other children touching it and passing around bird diseases.

It is good luck though, I remember getting shat on right before going into an exam. I had to sit for two hours with shit on my head

tomato
Well hopefully it means that our rugby league team will win the grand final later. He's gone to old Trafford with my mum and step-dad to watch it. So his first ever rugby game is a grand final I will be watching on TV so will keep my eye out for him

Did you see him Fatty?

Cicadas are driving me crazy tonight. I finally found one, they are massive, looks exactly like yours thumbs. I wonder how far they can travel .

Here's what they sound like, it can drive you nuts! Especially as we've got hundreds of them.

Not when I watched first time as I was demon wrangling (DD) but I did when I watched it at my mums (she recorded it)
We didn't win but DS had a great time anyway.
Them cicadas need squishing. Noisy little feckers

Never mind the noise, those things are huge!!

I always thought it was quite a relaxing sound, actually, but I guess that was only the occasional one or two, not a whole bloody cacophony of them!

Great thread in AIBU right now on the rights of spiders and milking the dangerous ones. Thumbs I can practically hear you sniggering and I'm in London!

tomato you should come over and tell them about some of your friends

Where's bess? She hasn't been back on this thread for ages

Good lord, I've heard it all now.

If they are worried about harming spiders by milking them for their venom (who knew?!) then they really wouldn't want to know what I do to them at will.

fucking hell. They should move to a country with venomous spiders, see whether their views change when they may need that anti venom created from the milked spiders.

Beejezers! Well put it this way, in order to milk a spider the spider would need to be a substantial size. They didn't think of that, did they?

We have some anti-venom for snakes. Apparently it works for a lot of the billion deadly species we have. My FIL used to milk snakes, because he was a vet, not because he's balmy although that too. So glad we don't need it for spiders! Or if we do, we're fucking screwed because no one milks spiders!

I found another César, trying out for the Brazilian Olympic swimming team. Not such a whooper as the last, but so hairy I swear it got out of the pool and shook itself dry!

Where is Beth...you don't think the spiders got her do you?

Glad you all liked the milking thread. I can't believe they are serious!

I'm wondering if its the swan or kingfishers that have got Bess. Or the whole bloody lot of them have ganged up on her.

Tomato - that would seriously freak me out finding that in the swimming pool.

Meanwhile, this was apparently just caught in a tube station near London.

I'm calling it Super Rat Beast. I am now wishing I hadn't read The Rats in my youth whilst also thanking my lucky stars I don't live in London anymore. I may stick to the bus next time I visit.

I read the rats too!

That thing is hideous!
I spotted a spider in sainsburys and moved as far as I could away from it while pointing and telling my mum not to let that bastard thing near me. I'm sure people thought I was a bit nuts with the looks I was getting.
