I like the bit in the report where they say "we arranged for his shopping to be dropped at his home." Wow

I read of a woman in Perth being attacked by a One Eyed Trouser Snake the other day. From what the rest of the article said, it took quite some mouth to mouth and external heart massage to bring her round.

After regaining her composure, her comment was "I died and went to heaven"

Shudder, I used to shop there :scared: I have heard of that happening before. I guess that is why they don't allow you to import fruit into Oz. What a freaky thought, a spider hiding amongst the nanas ready to pounce when you are picking them off the shelf.

There have been stories about people in South Wales being scared to death by giant spiders in the past. The cargo boats carrying bananas from the West Indies always docked in Cardiff (maybe they still do) and the tarantulas lurking amongst the bananas would decamp there.

They should be used to it by now

That's worth some Karma.

Did she try to suck the poison out?
