Sneezy, flutter-bombing sounds a bit like the men’s synchronized diving competition too. Kudos to the lone fella who was open about being gay. One gay person in the whole Olympics? No way, Alphonso!

Tinman – ha! Indeed! It likes a pricey Las Vegas “Experience”, possibly with Siberian tigers.

Pat, I used to sleep with tissues in my ears if I suspected there was a ddl in the room at night. It was no sort of sleep at all though, that sleep of expectant footfalls on your lobes.

Mary, Holy God! I just Googled mukade. I think I’d have to sleep wrapped in cling-film in Japan with two Samurai at the foot of the bed and the St, James bible clutched in my right hand. To squash it, like.

eryl, we went camping as a family in the Loire valley when I was a child. The communal showers and loos at the camp-site were full of these great white, meaty moths who hunted in groups and wanted to eat small Scottish girls like Serengeti lions eat baby zebras (I had a stripey swim-suit)

Cap’n P, Yes! An evil Scaredaddylonglegs! Made from lollypop sticks with a violent history and nothing to lose any more.

Savannah, I’m getting myself a gun to shoot them on sight.

debra, see Savannah’s comment. You have to fight fear with “Fire!” Chuck Heston learned us that.

Medbh – who indeed? Call me narrow but I don’t want to know the sorts of people who don’t like toast.

Kate – “evil little twiglets” – I love that! Deadbeat Daddy long Legses, I expect.

Sam – thank you for confirming these evil little twiglets are the most poisonous things on earth (no one ever believes me). Hope he’s gone now. Can you have Mummy Long Legs I wonder, or is that another design fault explaining why the Daddys are at a loose end?

Sam, I think he was after your lovely toast.
Who wouldn’t like a nice piece?

They are everywhere this year. In the kitchen, in the bathroom, and last night, on my pillow. ENOUGH, I say.

i have decided i have no soul or rather, none that will be redeemed if god is a spider…i swat/squish/smash and generally KILL them when they bother me! now, i don’t go out of my way, but if a sucker crosses my path in MY HOUSE – he’s history! xoxo

(not to worry, charlotte would have been spared – her house, her rules)

Have you tried fashioning a Scaredaddylonglegs out of some lollipop sticks, toilet paper, a condom and bits of string? You should try it. In fact, if you make four of them you could corner the little fucker.

Why do they do that, why do they insist on flapping about in your face? I hate them for that alone. Moths do it too and they crumble, eugh!

Sam, you would be cured of your DLL fear if you lived around mukade, or centipedes, which we had in Japan in spades. They didn’t get in your face like DLL, but believe me, they didn’t have to. After a summer in Japan, I never even blinked when I saw a DLL.

But I know all about the irrational fear thing. Cockroaches won’t hurt you, but if I saw one of those, I’d be on top of the table.

There’s a new kid on the block – barely visible , white legs and a black centre and weaves webs in remote corners. They don’t frighten me and with my new found courage I sweep them up with a tissue and chuck’em. Everything else makes me a gibbering idiot.
Ear muffs would thwart ‘em.
All the men in MTL’s clan have fine firm frames – and short legs.
Nobody’s perfect ‘cept thee and me and thy’s a bit off at times:)

I’ve just realised that in the very first comment I used the abbreviation DDL.

Which of course would be Daddy Dong-Legs.

You don’t wanna be flutterbombed by one of those…
