as they say on tv "don't have nightmares" (ooh, now theres another thing I miss - my monthly dose of "Crimewatch"). You know that lovely smarmy guy Jeremy Payne who turns up now and then trying to sound like he knows something abut fighting crime.....used to be my boss. Sympathy votes on a postcard please?

Spare the spiders, they're here to help us. They make good pets. Cockroaches don't do anything bad. They'll be here long after we're all gone. Try slicing their heads off & watch them nonchalantly walk off, unfazed.

Stamping on cockroaches might make you feel good, but they have the last laugh, they play dead then reappear on your pillow smiling.

Cockroaches are the most evil thing to walk this earth.
Even when you think you've killed one their eggs can survive for months.
I think the worst part of it is that generally if you see one your already infested, and have little or no chance of getting rid of them for good.
We're taking our cats with us, I will collapse in a heap if they bring in any!
I plan to try and get a couple of gekko's ( is that how you spell it?)
cos their a bit cuter than spiders and like to eat creepy crawleys.
I had one in my room in the NT and never had any trouble, apart from a huge bizarre looking bee thing with huge bright red dangly bollocks which flew in the window one day. (no it wasn't a fella!)

I don't think even cockroaches could survive that!

spiders! pah laugh in the face of them since we found a bull ant nest!!! these guys were about an inch and 1/2 long and kind of a burgundy colour and they were indestructable!!!! There eggs were the size of jelly beans and even once dying (about half a can of surface spray, ant powder, boiling water with bleach later) they gripped onto Matts glove in a desperate bid to do bite him as hard a possible
YES i know we were in the throws of killing them, but they pack a horrendos bite (ask mrs Blue robot about that one) and we can't risk it with the kids around.
