And they are a lovely aubergine colour.

I could be a crocodile and live on your beach by the sea by your B&B

..aubergine? the EU passports ?

...no crocs in the Med...you could lie on the beach as a squid...but then I'd probably have calamari for tea.

You need to add my name to the aviophobia list....

My husband is one of the ones scared of spiders. I was born and bred in Texas and NO insect/spider/wasp/whatever bothers me. If the cats don't finish it off, I escort it outside. I pointed out something that looked like an asp to Toontje the other day... it wasn't. Those are really painful - worse than scorpions - but non-toxic so I ain't bothered.



Requires morphine -- aspirin doesn't touch the pain.

...he probably wouldn't know one if it was staring him in the face...because he can't tell his asp from his elbow !

The fear of showering in a male prison (rectocolodefloweraphobia ) occurs as a result of suffering from Rectocolonicpristinepreservationitis.
